Know your market position with a competitive analysis

A general competitive analysis reveals all strategies and measure that determine a market’s competition. However, the main focus lies on the analysis of the competitors and the determination of their products and partners.

With knowledge about the competitors’ market activities, their negotiating power becomes apparent. Additionally, future business relations for your company will be improved with this valuable information on your competitors.

Challenges of the competitor analysis

The first challenge of a competitor analysis is determining who the competitors are. Although direct and indirect competitors are mostly known, there are always hidden competitors active on the market.

Even if all competitors are known, their trading partners usually remain unknown. Especially this lack of knowledge comes with a risk when competitors sell to your customers or you share suppliers. If competitors succeed in concluding exclusive contracts with these trading partners, your company is threatened by immense market losses.

Furthermore, not only the players in the markets are important - also their activities are crucial information. Analyzing a competitor’s behavior in the market is not only time-consuming, but becomes nearly impossible without trade data.
