Evaluate and Prioritise Market Opportunities with Confidence
Advantage MI provides independent market attractiveness analysis services to help commercial organisations evaluate, compare and prioritise new market opportunities.
​
When considering expansion into new sectors, geographies or customer segments, understanding which markets offer the strongest commercial potential is critical. Our structured market attractiveness assessments provide clear, evidence-based insight into opportunity, risk and competitive intensity — enabling leadership teams to allocate resources with confidence.
​
We support UK and international organisations seeking to identify the most attractive markets for growth, investment or strategic expansion.
What is Market Attractiveness Analysis?
Market attractiveness analysis is a structured evaluation of a market’s commercial potential. It assesses both the scale of opportunity and the structural factors that influence long-term viability.
Our market attractiveness assessments typically evaluate:
-
Market size and growth potential
-
Demand drivers and customer trends
-
Competitive intensity
-
Barriers to entry
-
Regulatory considerations
-
Substitution risks
-
Macro country economic and cultural context
-
Market maturity and lifecycle stage
By combining quantitative data with qualitative industry insight, we provide a balanced view of opportunity and risk.
Why Market Attractiveness Analysis Matters
Entering the wrong market can be costly. Expanding into the right market can transform growth trajectory.
Our market attractiveness analysis services help organisations:
-
Compare multiple markets objectively
-
Identify high-potential growth segments
-
Avoid structurally constrained markets
-
Reduce risk before investment
-
Prioritise expansion opportunities
-
Support board-level decision-making
​
For commercial clients evaluating strategic growth options, structured market evaluation is essential.
Our Approach to Market Attractiveness Assessment
Every engagement is tailored to your commercial objectives. However, our methodology typically includes:
1. Define Evaluation Criteria
We work with you to define the factors that matter most to your organisation — such as growth rate, margin profile, competitive landscape or regulatory stability. Understanding the insights that matter to you.
​
2. Data Collection & Evaluation
We gather and assess relevant market intelligence from credible industry sources, company data, sector reports and economic indicators.
​
3. Scoring & Comparative Framework
Where multiple markets are being considered, we develop a structured scoring model to compare attractiveness across defined criteria. This may include weighted scoring aligned to strategic priorities.
​
4. Competitive & Structural Analysis
We assess competitive intensity, market fragmentation, barriers to entry and sustainability of growth.
​
5. Strategic Interpretation
Most importantly, we translate analysis into practical recommendations — highlighting priority markets, watchlist markets and those requiring caution.
Our market attractiveness analysis is built on established strategic frameworks including SWOT, PESTLE and Porter’s Five Forces, applied within a structured, commercially focused evaluation model.
​
Rather than applying these tools mechanically, we tailor the analysis to your specific strategic objective. In some cases, this may involve a focused assessment of market conditions and growth drivers. In others, the emphasis may be on competitive intensity, barriers to entry or regulatory risk. The scope is defined by the decision you need to make.
​
While every market has its own structural nuances, these proven analytical frameworks provide a robust and defensible basis for comparing opportunities objectively and prioritising investment with confidence.
The curated market intelligence is analysed using a transparent and structured methodology designed to ensure objective, defensible conclusions.
Where multiple markets are being evaluated, we apply a comparative scoring framework and visual prioritisation tools, including quadrant mapping. Markets are positioned according to relative attractiveness and ease of entry, with bubble scaling used to reflect market size or revenue potential.
This approach converts complex, multi-variable market data into a clear visual hierarchy of opportunity — enabling leadership teams to prioritise markets confidently and allocate resources effectively.

What is included in a market attractiveness analysis?
A market attractiveness analysis typically includes market sizing, growth analysis, competitive assessment, barrier evaluation, profitability assessment and structured comparison against alternative markets.

How is market attractiveness different from market research?
Market research gathers information about a market. Market attractiveness analysis interprets that information to determine whether the market is commercially viable and strategically attractive.
​
Can you compare multiple markets?
Yes. We regularly develop comparative scoring frameworks to prioritise geographic markets, industry segments or product categories.
Do you provide international market attractiveness assessments?
Yes. We support both UK and international market evaluation projects.
