Market analysis - market analysis

Japanese: 市場分析 - しじょうぶんせき(英語表記)market analysis
Market analysis - market analysis

As part of market research, a company measures the size of a market and determines its characteristics. In a broad sense, it can be used synonymously with market research. The content of a specific market analysis is centered on measuring demand and forecasting sales, and in this respect the relationship or difference with market forecasting is not necessarily clear.

Market analysis begins with an analysis of past sales. Then, it moves on to an analysis of the company's potential market and potential sales potential. This involves analyzing the current potential sales volume of the market, the size and characteristics of potential markets by region, market trends, etc. to arrive at a sales forecast, which forms the core of market analysis and is the basis for formulating a sales strategy. Methods for collecting the necessary information include compiling the forecasts of sales personnel, surveys of consumers, and management judgment, but these are supplemented with existing information from both inside and outside the company, and the final market information is derived through operations such as indexing, trend analysis, correlation analysis, multivariate analysis, and OR.

Japanese:

企業が市場調査の一部として、市場の大きさを測定し市場特性を判定すること。広義には市場調査と同義に用いることもある。固有の市場分析の内容は、需要の測定と販売予測を中心にしており、この点で市場予測との関連や相違は、かならずしも明確でない。

 市場分析は、まず過去の販売分析から始められる。次に自社の潜在市場と潜在販売可能性の分析へと進む。これは、現在、市場の潜在販売高、地域別潜在市場の大きさと特性、市場の趨勢(すうせい)などを分析して、販売予測に到達するもので、市場分析の中心部分を占め、販売戦略策定の基礎になる。これらに必要な資料の収集方法としては、販売関係者の見通しの集計、消費者を対象にした調査、経営者の判断などがあるが、これらに企業内外の既存資料を加味し、指数化、傾向分析、相関分析、多変量分析、ORなどの操作により、最終的市場情報を導き出すようにする。
