Speaker 1: Does your company need to enter a new market to survive? Download the Market Entry Presentation Template to discover if a market expansion effort is really worth it. Whether you want to enter a new geography, new sector, or new demographic, a strong market entry strategy is required to plan out the likelihood of success versus the cost of failure. The template includes slides on buyer values and buyer value migration, comparative market study, scenario analysis, revenue versus market size, competitive matrix, strategy implementation, product portfolio strategy, investment projection, Marcy chart, market selection criteria, and many more. Stick to the end and we'll explain how a company like Apple could use these strategies to navigate the next big market strategy move like, for instance, self-driving car software. Alright, so the first step to any market entry strategy is an assessment of the opportunity available. This buyer values visualization allows the input of data from market research to rank different aspects of a product or service based on whether or not users will value it. The expected value a user wants from a product is listed out along with the opportunity that exists to service that market. For example, an existing market comes with high opportunity based on past precedence, while an emerging market has high potential with less competition to gain first-mover advantage. A market with minimal to no opportunity should be an area to avoid the dedication of further resources due. Because what buyers value change over time, value migration charts plot value changes of a typical product lifecycle from the introduction to mass adoption to maturation or decline. While results aren't guaranteed, it's good to use these exercises and preparations to guide your market entry strategy. Another form of analysis is a comparative market study. This slide compares a new market to the rest of the world when it comes to an emerging market. The top graph compares a new market geography to the established market, while the bottom graph compares a mature product across a new market. So, an example of this would be if Apple were to chart its mature product, the iPhone, as it launches in a new market, like for instance in India. For the mature graph, you can plot how long it will take the new market to reach the same penetration rate as the mature market. Use both comparisons to get a benchmark of how your existing product could stand in that new market. Scenario analysis plots expansion conditions. This visualization projects the current or base scenario against favorable or setback scenarios. Since a new market or region comes with a lot of external forces, it's important to consider macroeconomic relationships, political headwinds, institutional or upcoming regulations, and regional disparity of rules. This visualization expands on the favorable scenario and tallies the individual impact of each category for the total additive impact. Because the synergy of all these favorable outcomes can be exponential, a separate data point accounts for the synergistic impact and the total market growth potential. With the same logic applied, the setback scenario can also be expanded on to tally the additive and collective impact of a failed market expansion. Ideally, you would only want to move forward with a market expansion if both the favorable and setback scenarios result in considerable growth. This visualization covers a standard 5-year projection to compare potential revenue growth of an existing or new product versus the overall market size. For example, if you look at year 5, while the overall sales reached $43 million, the new product hasn't caught up to the existing product at $13.4 million. This means the existing product line needs nurturing even as the new market is entered, so core revenues aren't jeopardized at the expense of a high-potential experiment. So, how could a company like Apple use these strategies to conduct their own market entry strategy? Let's assume the rumors about Apple's upcoming Project Titan are true, and Apple has a car OS in development to control every aspect of a car's function, including self-driving capabilities. What could Apple do to assess the value of this major investment? First, it could conduct an assessment of buyer values to find out that many Apple users have a crowded nighttime routine that makes it difficult for a new streaming service like Apple TV Plus to break into. But, there's an emerging market in connected cars, which fits nicely into Apple's focus on services. With fully self-driving cars, drivers wouldn't have to focus on the road, so that means they could not only stream Apple music, but they could even watch Apple TV Plus in their vehicles. As automakers and lawmakers lay the groundwork for self-driving vehicle regulation today, there's a high likelihood these vehicles will hit the market by the end of the decade. This justifies not only a massive investment in Apple TV Plus, but a massive investment in fully self-driving cars, which turns an hour commute into an extra hour to offer services like entertainment. A favorable scenario, indeed.
