and your company’s market penetration into that market. You can do the same with the market
segments in which you participate.
Sales territory potential – You can estimate your market penetration and also the market potential
in any regional area or market segment.
Sales forecasting – With the estimates on the size of the industry, market researchers supporting
a sales force can then estimate and forecast the future size of the industry.
Advertising strategies – You can use this information for forecasting and estimating sales potential
and target advertising campaigns.
Competitive analysis – You will use the information to locate your possible competitors (if it is

market segments in which they participate.
