Taking Advantage of a Market Switch


This guide discusses Switch Market Share. When groups of consumers move from one type of product to another on a long-term basis, new business opportunities can result. Market switches create demands for new products and services.

Market Switch Examples

The switch from traditional styles of children's bicycles to BMX bikes provided an opportunity for a bicycle shop to establish a BMX racing club and racing track. This racing involvement helped the shop to capture a large share of the BMX market.

A business woman took advantage of the market switch from record albums to cassette tapes by packaging cassette recorder-head cleaning kit.

To take advantage of the market switch from large to small cars, a company designed and manufactured bicycle and ski racks designed for small cars.

An office machine repair service anticipated the market switch from typewriters to word processors and began to specialize in repairing word processing equipment.

How To Do It (Switch Market Share)

Discover major changes in consumer buying habits by:

reading marketing research reports and trade association research forecasts;

observing current fads that could potentially turn into long-term changes;

observing new products that are growing in popularity;- and

analyzing changes in your own buying habits, especially when you stop purchasing an item that has become obsolete and begin to buy replacement items with entirely different characteristics.

Find products which are associated with a market switch by:

analyzing the advantage of new products to find those which are greatly superior and will likely replace more traditional items; and

looking for new technologies or new products based on new concepts which are revolutionary for an industry.

Look for a major product or service that is needed to meet changing consumer demand, but has not yet been provided, and find a way to provide it.

When the major product in the market switch already exists, look for related services or products that can be used in association with the major product.

Ensure that there is a demand for the product/service you would like to provide.
