Are you ready? Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-Market-Share-and-why-it-matters\"><\/span>What is Market Share and why it matters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Market Share <\/strong>is the percentage of the market that is served by the company. This value can be expressed in terms of <strong>sales <\/strong>or in terms of <strong>volume<\/strong>, i.e., in terms of quantities sold.<\/p>\n<p>Market Share is an important parameter for investors: through it, they assess a startup&#8217;s growth potential and the skills management of its team.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, Market Share is also very useful however, for startuppers (and entrepreneurs in general), because it gives useful information about the strength and prospects of the chosen <a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/business-model\/\">business model<\/a>. In termsmore concrete , it indicates whether the strategies put in place are leading the startup or company to hold the market positiondesired .<\/p>\n<p>You should know, however, that the information provided by the Market Share only really makes sense when supplemented with that of other indices. In fact, your startup&#8217;s or company&#8217;s sales growth may depend on various factors, such as increased demand or erosion of Market Share of your competitors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences-between-Absolute-and-Relative-Market-Share\"><\/span>Differences between Absolute and Relative Market Share<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know what Market Share is, you need to know the <strong>difference between Absolute and Relative Market Share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20979\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20979 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Types-of-market-share.png\" alt=\"Types of market share\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Types-of-market-share.png 1024w, https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Types-of-market-share-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Types-of-market-share-768x543.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Types of market share<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to calculate your <a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/tam-sam-som-assess-your-startups-market-potential\/\">startup&#8217;s market potential<\/a>, you should know that Absolute Market Share does not give you an accurate idea of your startup or company&#8217;s competitive position in the market because a 30 percent share, for example, may indicate a strong position if the other 70 percent of the market is fragmented, while it signals a weak position if 70 percent is all in the hands of another competitor.<\/p>\n<p>To get more accurate information, therefore, you need to relate your value to that of your competitors. That is, you must rely on Relative Market Share, which is the market share held by a company relative to that held by its main competitor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Calculate-Market-Share\"><\/span>How to Calculate Market Share<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To calculate Market Share, as mentioned above, you must first <strong>choose the parameter to be considered<\/strong>: turnover or the quantity of goods sold.

In this case, the parameter chosen is turnover.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say there are three companies in the market, which, over a 12-month period, bill in this way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Company 1: 500,000 euros<\/li>\n<li>Company 2: 150,000 euros<\/li>\n<li>Company 3: 100,000 euros<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The total market value is, therefore, 750,000 euros.<\/p>\n<p>The market shares of the three companies, however, are:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\\(Company\\hspace{0.1cm}1=(\\frac{500.000\u20ac}{750.000\u20ac})x100=67\\%\\)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\\(Company\\hspace{0.1cm}2=(\\frac{150.000\u20ac}{750.000\u20ac})x100=20\\%\\)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\\(Company\\hspace{0.1cm}3=(\\frac{100.000\u20ac}{750.000\u20ac})x100=13\\%\\)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graphical-representation-of-the-calculation\"><\/span>Graphical representation of the calculation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Regarding the the Market Share calculation, you should know that the best way to visualize the shares of the various firms within the market is by using a <strong>graphical representation of circular pie chart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20981\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20981 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Graphical-representation-of-market-share.png\" alt=\"Graphical representation of market share\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Graphical-representation-of-market-share.png 1024w, https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Graphical-representation-of-market-share-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Graphical-representation-of-market-share-768x543.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphical representation of market share<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The width of the different slices of the pie identifies the value of the different shares.

It is so because, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of business strategies (and possibly correct them in light of new trends), it is necessary to see how the firm&#8217;s Market Share changes over months (or years).<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, it is important for you to know that, in general, the time horizon that is taken as a reference for the calculation of Market Share is the calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impacts-of-new-market-trends\"><\/span>Impacts of new market trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We cannot end this guide devoted to Market Share without recalling <strong>Seth Godin<\/strong>&#8216;s famous phrase:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Market Share is gained from products that customers love, not products that executives love.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Being able to intercept new trends market must be a categorical for you imperative if you want to maintain or increase your Market Share.<\/p>\n<p>Equally important is to continue to innovate (i.e., introduce new features and new products or services) so you can expand the reach of your startup or company. In fact, companies that succeed in introducing new and innovative products to the market tend to have larger market shares because consumers are often attracted to new and unique products.<\/p>\n<p>The final advice for you from a Market Share perspective, then, is to use the data you have, feedback from your customers, and analysis of competitors in the marketplace to develop new products or services that can meet new consumer needs or desires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you want to read all the articles related to the stage your startup is in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#Take_the_plunge\"><strong>Take the plunge<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#Take_the_first_steps\"><strong>Take the first steps<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#How_to_start_a_startup\"><strong>How to start a startup<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#How_to_grow_a_startup\"><strong>How to grow a startup<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market Share is a very useful indicator for startups and companies.
