Global OEM wanted a market opportunity study of the supplemental cementitious material (SCM) market to form a Go to market strategy for quickly earning market share with a new product offering
Client description:
Global OEM
Challenge:
The client was confident it had a unique new product offering for the supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) market that would be very competitive against conventional products. Although patent protection would eventually be in place, the client expected competitors to quickly follow with copycat designs. They needed data and analysis that would allow them to appropriately select targets (geography, company type, end-use, and sector) and deliver messaging designed to secure substantial and retainable market share before competitors could act.
Methodologies:
A market attractiveness model and a combination of telephonic and face-to-face qualitative IDIs with 29 respondents from the target countries.
The result:
The client received a detailed report that covered:
• Estimated market size for the geographies covered
• A market attractiveness model and value hierarchy that graphically displayed best markets and best targets for the new product offering
• Detailed drill-downs on information crucial to the client’s marketing and sales activities
o Identification of potential SCM customers segmented across material, geography, facility type and age, etc.

o Decision tree: decision-makers and influencers
o Competitive landscape: perceptions of “preferred” SCM technology supplier
o Perceptions of the client
o Clear read on the concept test of the new product offering
