Competitive Landscape Analysis: What it actually means?

Competitive landscape analysis examines who the client competes with, how those competitors are positioned, and where the client can defend or expand its share. A robust assignment will map products, price points, channels, geography, brand strength, partnerships and recent M&A to understand how the market is really moving. Consultants then identify opportunities — underserved segments, premiumisation, digital channels, after-sales revenue — as well as threats such as new entrants or regulatory shifts. This is especially valuable when launching a new service, entering a new country, or trying to explain why growth has slowed despite a strong offer. The output is not just a description of competitors but a set of commercial moves that strengthen the client’s position.
