Competitor analysis

What is competitor analysis?

Competitor analysis basically consists of identifying existing or potential competitors, assessing their market position and pinpointing  their strengths and weaknesses.

Competitor analysis is a key tool for developing a proper business strategy: the accurate interpretation of information helps avoid short-sighted market management, especially if supported by a specialist.

A proper competitor analysis includes the following activities:

  • Identifying the company’s competitors.
  • Collecting detailed information about competitors.
  • Processing and analysing the data
  • Defining a competitive positioning matrix according to preset parameters.
  • Providing a cross comparison between the competitors’ and the company’s positioning.

Competitor analysis is a key preliminary tool used prior to every business project and should always be performed together with industry specialists.
