Market Share
Market share refers to the portion of total sales in an industry generated by a particular company, product, or brand within a specific time frame. It is a key indicator of market competitiveness and business performance.
What is Market Share?
Market share quantifies the proportion of total industry sales captured by your company, product, or brand within a defined period, serving as a barometer of competitiveness and growth potential. Executives rely on this metric to benchmark performance, allocate resources, and prioritize segments where penetration lags or leadership can be consolidated. By analyzing shifts in category revenue, channel dynamics, and competitor movements, organizations can pinpoint where pricing, distribution, or product strategy should be recalibrated to expand share. Translating consumer-level purchase behavior into account-level insights bridges strategy and execution, aligning marketing, sales, and product teams around measurable objectives that accelerate sustainable revenue.
Example
If you sell 1,000 toys in a store where 10,000 toys are sold in total during a month, your market share is 10% (1,000 ÷ 10,000 x 100). To increase this, you could launch a marketing campaign, offer discounts, or introduce new products to attract more customers and boost your sales.
