Market Structure
Overview
Market Structure is a product segmentation of the products within a category based on actual purchase behaviour. How consumers segment the category rather than how retailers segment it. The analysis maps out a tree structure which shows how products are related to each other. This solution can help to understand how to layout the shelf as well as identify whitespace for NPD.
