Oakland Market Opportunity Analysis

Market Opportunity Analysis

Evaluating markets and future trends can be a major challenge for any business, and particularly if the primary orientation is in technology. At Oakland we can support your understanding with market opportunity analysis – essentially helping find new markets, new ways to differentiate, and what business models to employ for these new or developing markets.

We carry out detailed exploration of markets, from landscaping studies of broad areas and market trends, to detailed examination of new zones of opportunity. For example, landscaping studies can be used when considering entry to a market, particularly when there is a degree of uncertainty as to the appropriate business proposition.

We undertake broad analysis of the overall market landscape, looking at factors such as:

  • New revenue streams for an existing technology or product
  • White space opportunities in target markets
  • Extreme user innovations for mainstream markets
  • Potential partners and suppliers for market entry
  • Business model innovation
  • Investigation of consumer receptivity to existing offerings to define and evaluate unfulfilled market needs
  • Profiling including SWOT and PESTEL analysis
