Micro-environment Factor Analysis Market Build-up
Method Market Share Analysis
This Session Weekly Activity: ANZSIC Codes Visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics website (
www.abs.gov.au) and find out what are the 2 digit codes for each of the industry group categories
Also determine what are the additional digit codes for the particular industry
Using your business idea, match this with an industry code
Locate an ABS publication that lists these codes for you
If you have problems try searching under Catalogue number 1292.0
Report on your research (Word Count: 200 – 300).
Microenvironment
The forces close to the organization that impact on marketing decisions and affects its ability to serve its customers: Organization itself Direct suppliers Market channel members Customer markets Direct competitors
Topic Example Video
The following video outlines how the Micro-environment relates to the Macro-environment.
Take note of the key points. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfR2Qq7plv
Q
Definition—A place where buyers and sellers meet, products or services are offered for sale, and transfer of ownership occurs. Demand made by a group of potential
buyers for a product or service. Market demand factors:
People or firms with needs and wants. Their purchasing power. Their buying behaviour.
Market
It is the maximum number of sales that might be available in an industry for a given period.
A common way to estimate this is as follows:Q = n x q x p
whereQ = total market demandn = number of buyers in the marketq = quantity purchased by an average buyer in one
yearp = price of an average unit
Total Market Potential

Activity: Book Buyers
Team-based exercise: Potential Book Buyer Market Estimate the number of book buyers in a year In groups of 3 – 4, estimate the number of people
you believe would buy books each year in Brisbane. Issues you might want to consider would include:
Total population less “non buyers” (suspect pool) Average number of books purchased per person Average price per book
Discuss the accuracy of this estimate and how you might verify your estimate with other methods
Time: 15 – 20 minutes.
Current Market Demand
There are three aspects of current market demand that should be estimated: total market demand area market demand actual sales and market share
Market Demand
The total volume for a specific product, purchased by a given market segment, from a defined geographical area where maximum output and set environmental conditions exist.
Market share
The proportion of the business’ sales compared with the total industry.
Usually expressed as a percentage.

Forecasting Market Share
1. Calculate market demand 2. Determine number of competitors 3. Estimate market share
Industry averages method Pareto principle method
4. Set yearly market share targets.
Example: Coffee Shop
Using the Industry Averages Method to estimate market share:
1. Determine if there are any statistics specifically relating to coffee shops.
Australian Bureau of Statistics – Cafes and Restaurants (8655.0)
2. Review what statistics are provided.
Example: Coffee Shop Cafes and Restaurants: No. of businesses No. of persons employed Income Expenses Operating profit before tax Operating profit margin Periods: 1998-99 and 2003-04 Is there enough data provided to a market
share average? Can a forecast trend be calculated?
Example: Coffee Shop
1998-99 2861/12845 (22.3%)
businesses $7174.3M x 22.3% =
$1599.9M income $1599.9M/2861 =
$559,200 per business PA
2003-04 3167/15083 (21%)
businesses $10129.6M x 21% =
$2126.9M incomes $2126.9M/3167 =
$671,600 per business PA
Specific business: Unlicensed café and restaurant
Example: Wine in China
Obtain information from various websites to estimate market share:
1. Determine if there are any statistics specifically relating to importing Australian wine into China.
www.austrade.gov.au www.winechina.com 2. Review what statistics are provided.
Example: Wine in China
Available data: market growth main consumption areas major importing countries total market size import wine market size major Australian suppliers Chinese wine drinker preferences Chinese wine drinker profile product preferences
Pareto Principle Application
Using the Pareto Principle From ABS, all that is required are:
No. of Businesses Income
Pareto Principle Large: 80% revenue/20% businesses Medium: 15% revenue/30% businesses Small: 5% revenue/50% businesses
Example: Coffee Shop 1998-99 Large:
($7174.3M x .8) / (12845 x .2) = $2.24M per business
Medium: ($7174.3M x .15) /
(12645 x .3) = $283,700 per business
Small ($7174.3M x .05) /
(12845 x .5) = $55,900 per business
2003-04 Large:
($10129.6M x .8) / (15083 x .2) = $2.69M per business
Medium ($10129.6M x .15) /
(15083 x .3) = $335,600 per business
Small ($10129.6M x .05) /
(15083 x .5) = $67,200 per business
Example: Coffee Shop
Conclusions: Growth market: $22,480 average growth per
year. Business Income Projection Large: $2.69M Medium: $335,600 Small: $67,200 Average: $671,600 What would be other factors that could
influence revenue projection? Floor space Location
Example: Coffee Shop So what does this all mean when it
comes to making a forecast? Use your judgement! The revenue projection for a small coffee
shop appears to be quite low. 5 years time: medium size business Revenue $335,600 PA Start up: $223,200 PA ($335,600 –
$112,400) Average growth per year: $22,480
Example: Wine in China
Conclusions: Growth market: 1.3M litres average growth per year. Australian Wine Sales Revenue: $86M ($4 per 1 litre) Chinese Target Market Cities: Shenzhen & Chenghu Red Wine Flavour Preference: fruity, berry, vanilla
with a touch of sweetness (50% preference for light flavours)
Target customer: middle class Chinese Major Australian player: Orlando What would be other influence factors? Screw caps - better for premium and aged wines.
Example: Wine in China So what does this all mean when it
comes to making a forecast? Use your judgement! Can I get a list of Australian wine exporters
into China? What about promoting Queensland wines, ie
Granite Belt? (suit Chinese wine preferences) What import requirements are there for wine
into China? (check with Austrade) Can I calculate my market share?
Activity: Data Projector Market
In groups of 3 – 4, Discuss how you might calculate the
size of the data projector market. What factors do you think need to be
considered to arrive at an accurate estimate?
Comment on the use of ABS statistics in this scenario and explain your options.
Each group to explain their reasoning. Time: 10 – 15 minutes.
International Statistics It is important to cross-reference
international statistics with other sources. For example, you visited the Chinese
Government website (www.gov.cn/english) for statistics and it directed you to the statistics website: www.stats.gov.cn/english/index.htm
Statistics from a country’s government website needs to be compared against other countries foreign trade statistics to determine accuracy.

was. Now use the supplier database (www.alibaba.com) for
local suppliers in South Korea Use Boolean Operators to narrow your search Analyse your search results and list organisations.
Estimating Area Market Demand
There are two major methods or approaches to estimate market potential in different cities, states or countries: market buildup method
is used primarily by business goods firms market factor index method
is used primarily by consumer goods firms
Chain Ratio Method
This method involves multiplying a base number by several adjusting percentages.
It provides a rough estimate of potential demand however using additional qualifying factors will yield more accurate refined estimates.
Activity: Light Beer Drinkers Team-based exercise: Potential Light Beer Market Estimate the market potential for a new light beer In groups of 3 – 4, determine what you might use as
your base number and then decide what qualifying factors you would consider to estimate.
Qualifying factors might include: Discretionary income Alcoholic beverage expenditure Light beer consumption comparisons
Discuss what other qualifying factors you additional consider to improve the accuracy of your estimate
Time: 15 – 20 minutes.
Market Build-up Method
A forecasting method that calls for identifying all the potential buyers in each market and estimating their potential purchases.
This is often referred to as zero-based sales forecasting.
1. Market identification Define market for product/service being
researched by checking all the applicable industries (ANZSIC manual).
2. Market diagnosis (a) Diagnose the basis for estimating the
number of organisations within that industry that are likely to use the product/service.
Market Build-up Method
(b) Estimate the extent of market saturation: User industry Number of competitors Market growth rate. 3. Market demand Determine the product/service business
potential, ie. (no. of units) an organisation of a particular sized should have in their possession or consume within a given timeframe.
Market Build-up Method
4. Market potential (a) compute the market potential for each
size of organisation (b) compute the total market potential by
totalling up all the different organisational size market potentials
When working out market potential, it should be calculated both by: Number of units and Dollar value (average $ value per unit).
Market Build-up Method
5. Sales potential (a) estimate the total replacement sales
potential (existing user survey, ABS census, industry information )
(b) estimate the total number of new sales potential (marketing intelligence information)
6. Compare market potential with sales potential
This provides useful information for future planning.
Market Build-up Method
7. Sales forecast (a) estimate market share positions (own and
competition) (b) assess competitor’s marketing efforts (c) set organisational marketing strategy (d) forecast organisation’s market share for next
period (13 months) (e) forecast organisation sales (eg. Sales
potential x market share %) (f) prepare detailed sales forecast (monthly
sales) (g) incorporate sales forecast into business plan.

Activity: Wood Lathe Buyers
Team-based exercise: Potential Wood Lathe Buyers
Estimating the market potential for wood lathes In groups of 3 – 4, map out the approach you
would adopt to determine the market potential for a wood lathe manufacturer based on the east coast of Australia.
What strategy would your group recommend to the manufacturer?
Discuss the various options. Time: 15 – 20 minutes.
Market factor-index method
A forecasting method that identifies market factors that correlate with market potential and combines them into a weighted index.
Topic Example Video
The following video provides some tips on analysing buying power.
Take note of the key points. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBb16H8PH
dA
Buying Power Index
A buying power index is based on three factors: the areas share of the nations disposable personal income, , retail sales and population.
Each factor is weighted in accordance with it’s impact or the strength of the characteristic.
Each weighting is made relative to the other factors and is therefore proportional.
B% = (x)Y% + (y)R% + (z)P%
Buying Power Index
B% = (x)Y% + (y)R% + (z)P% B% = % of total national buying power in area Y% = regional income / national income % R% = regional retail sales/national retail sales
% P% = regional population/national population % (x) = product category $ / disposable income $ (y) = product category $ / retail sales $ (z) = product user population / product
category user population
Buying Power Index
Example: Business Shirts
A business shirt manufacturer wants to determine the Victorian market share.
The estimate of the national market for business shirts is about $150M.
The manufacturer’s current nationwide sales is $20M, about 16.7% of total potential market.
To calculate the regional market potential for a location in question. (ie. Victoria) need to:
1. Determine the buying power index for business shirts. This is done using “household expenditure information or syndicated market research from research firms.
2. Use the BPI to calculate the regional market potential (ie. Victoria)
The regional market potential is then used to calculate an organisation’s regional market share, ie. % of actual $ sales / regional market potential.
Example: Business Shirts
Example: Business Shirts B% = (x)Y% + (y)R% + (z)P% B% = % of total national buying power in area Y% = 24.8% = $1,151.5M / $4,649.0M R% = 14% = $100.0M / $715.6M P% = 25.2% = 1,617,281/6,430,171 males >
14 (x) = 0.5 (clothing $ / disposable income $) (y) = 0.3 ($1.65M / $7.16M) retail clothing (z) = 0.2 white collar workers / workers
Example: Business Shirts
B% = (0.5)24.8% + (0.3)14% + (0.2)25.2%
B% = 12.4% + 4.2% + 5.04% B% = 21.64% If the assumption is that the total
national potential for business shirt sales in Australia is $150 Million, then Victoria’s share would be $32.46M. ($150M x 21.64%)
