Relative Market Share
and Market Growth
To understand the Boston Matrix you need
to understand how market share and
market growth interrelate.
2. Boston Consulting Group Matrix pgp1
MARKET SHARE
• Market share is the percentage of the total market
that is being serviced by your company, measured
either in revenue terms or unit volume terms.
• RELATIVE MARKET SHARE
• RMS = Business unit sales this year
Leading rival sales this year
• The higher your market share, the higher proportion
of the market you control.
MARKET GROWTH
RATE
 Market growth is used as a measure of a market’s
attractiveness.
 MGR = Individual sales - individual sales
this year last year
Individual sales last year
 Markets experiencing high growth are ones where
the total market share available is expanding, and
there’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to make
money.
THE BCG GROWTH-SHARE
MATRIX
 It is a portfolio planning model which is based on
the observation that a company’s business units can
be classified in to four categories:
 Stars
 Question marks
 Cash cows
 Dogs
 It is based on the combination of market growth and
market share relative to the next best competitor.
2. Boston Consulting Group Matrix pgp1
STARS
High growth, High market share
 Stars are leaders in business.
 They also require heavy investment, to
maintain its large market share.
 It leads to large amount of cash consumption
and cash generation.
 Attempts should be made to hold the market
share otherwise the star will become a CASH
COW.
CASH COWS
Low growth , High market share
 They are foundation of the company and often
the stars of yesterday.
 They generate more cash than required.
 They extract the profits by investing as little
cash as possible
 They are located in an industry that is mature,
not growing or declining.
DOGS
Low growth, Low market share
 Dogs are the cash traps.
 Dogs do not have potential to bring in much
cash.
 Number of dogs in the company should be
minimized.
 Business is situated at a declining stage.
QUESTION MARKS
High growth , Low market share
 Most businesses start of as question marks.
 They will absorb great amounts of cash if the
market share remains unchanged, (low).
 Why question marks?
 Question marks have potential to become
star and eventually cash cow but can also
become a dog.
 Investments should be high for question
marks.
WHY BCG MATRIX ?
To assess :
 Profiles of products/businesses
 The cash demands of products
 The development cycles of products
 Resource allocation and divestment
decisions
MAIN STEPS OF BCG MATRIX
 Identifying and dividing a company into SBU.
 Assessing and comparing the prospects of
each SBU according to two criteria :
1. SBU’S relative market share.
2. Growth rate OF SBU’S industry.
 Classifying the SBU’S on the basis of BCG
matrix.
 Developing strategic objectives for each SBU.
BCG MATRIX WITH CASH FLOW
BENEFITS
 BCG MATRIX is simple and easy to
understand.
 It helps you to quickly and simply screen the
opportunities open to you, and helps you
think about how you can make the most of
them.
 It is used to identify how corporate cash
resources can best be used to maximize a
company’s future growth and profitability.
LIMITATIONS
 BCG MATRIX uses only two dimensions,
Relative market share and market growth
rate.
 Problems of getting data on market share and
market growth.
 High market share does not mean profits all
the time.
 Business with low market share can be
profitable too.
PRACTICAL USE
 MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA
 HLL

planning matrix ,used by large companies
