Market Segmentation

The process of dividing a target market into smaller, more defined categories.

Market Segmentation involves dividing a broad consumer or business market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of consumers based on some type of shared characteristics. It allows businesses to target different groups with specific marketing strategies.

For example, a company might segment its market by demographics, such as age, gender, income level, or geographic location, to tailor its products and marketing efforts to different customer needs.
