Market Analysis

To be successful in today's competitive business environment, it is important
for every company to know its market and competition in depth so as to
devise good strategies to improve on their individual business models.

This is even more paramount for startups as they are the most vunerable with
limited cash flow and scarce resources.
Thus, to conduct a comprehensive analysis for the business, we can utilize a
comparison matrix (such as the SWOT analysis) to aid our study:

SWOT analysis

1. Strength
> The strengths of your company's product/service vs your competitors

2. Weaknesses
> The weaknesses of your company's product/service vs your competitors

3. Opportunities
> The opportunities for extending the markets of your product/service and the
opportunities to further develop your offerings.

4. Threats
> Any potential threats that may negatively impact on the growth of your
business.

It will be important to conduct a comprehensive research on your company's
relevant market/industry, competition and targeted customers while drawing
out the comparison matrix
