Market Segmentation

Market segmentation directly addresses strategic friction by providing a framework to align business activities with specific consumer needs and preferences. It helps clarify market positioning and ensures the business model is targeted effectively.

Market Segmentation is a fundamental marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers, businesses, or countries that have, or are perceived to have, common needs, interests, and priorities. This approach helps companies tailor their marketing efforts and products to meet the specific needs of each segment more effectively. The benefits of market segmentation include enhanced competitiveness, increased market share, and improved customer retention.
