Market Growth Strategies

Basically there are four strategies available to expand market. Igor Ansoff has suggested a valuable framework, popularly known as Product/Market Expansion Grid to pursue market share growth. These four strategies are discussed here:

1. Market Penetration Strategy 
When there are opportunities for the current product to grow within the current or existing market. It aims to increase the market share among existing customers. Mainly, there are three approaches to increase market share of current product.
    
a. Persuade and encourage existing customers to consumer and purchase more.
b. Appeal and attract customers of competitors.
c. Encourage and influence non-users to use the product.

2. Market-Development Strategy 
Under this option, there are opportunities to develop market share by launching a current product in a new market. In general there are three ways to develop market share.

a. Increase reach to new markets or expand marketing/distribution channels.
b. Start to sell in new locations or new places.
c. Consider and recognize the new or potential users.

3. Product-Development Strategy 
This strategy aims to launch a new product or innovated product in the existing market, the growth approaches include:

a.  Include or expand new product features.
b. Enhance or develop different category of products or quality levels.
c. Use technology to improve product.

4. Diversification 
In diversification strategy, a new product is launched in a new market. This is a good option when a marketer seeks growth opportunities outside current business. The diversification strategies are of three types: 

a. Concentric Diversification: Develop new products with the use of existing technology and technological know-how for new customers
b. Conglomerate Diversification: Develop new products for new markets which have no any technological or commercial synergies with current products.
c. Horizontal Diversification: Develop new products that are technologically or commercially unrelated with current products.
