INCREASE IN MARKETING ROI
DUE TO RESPONSIVE SPENDING

EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF CAUSE
BEHIND MARKET SHARE DECLINE

THE SITUATION

In a competitive landscape, not only do businesses need to know how much of the market pie they own but also how can they increase it.​ To improve market share performance, the business should have a way to link reported/ estimated market shares to the different drivers of market share:​

  • Awareness – Search volumes, etc.​​
  • Availability – Share of Shelf on e-retailer, etc.​​
  • Price – Price, Discounting action​​
  • Advertisement – Brand ad spend​​
  • Product Quality – Ratings and reviews, etc.

THE SOLUTION

Using internal and external data, a data-driven market share estimation was created, giving the opportunity for businesses to act upon the indicators creating negative effects.​

We calculated historical market share based on company sales by market size. An ML-based model was deployed to find the relationship between company market share and the metrics from web searches, e-tailer websites, and social media. We then used the relationship to estimate competitors’ markets share in different countries of operation.​

Root Cause Analysis was then used to uncover ground for pre-emptive actions within the internal teams as a strategic next step in reacting to emerging market share trends. 

The market Share Estimation Model can be the first step towards building a comprehensive competitive intelligence solution, that links across multiple data sets and enables maximum value extraction. 

Technical Solution: Estimation model using a mix of proxy measures (as well as actual sales) to predict market share and identify the source of variance​

On a product level, they were able to capture trending brands in their portfolio and use those insights to their leverage for deeper market penetration.
