What Trend Analysis Is
Any factor altering the market of your industry describes the market trend. Trend analysis is the systematic process of analyzing statistical data and market behavior over a time frame. It is the process of determining changes to your market over time. This process gives valuable market insight used for strategic planning and market forecasting. It observes your industry from its inception in the market, developmental stages, and expected growth.
There are several market trends in Africa that are important to your industry and you need to look out for these. They include changes in market demographics, economy changes, industry costs, technology, customer needs, and competition. These trends affect your business in different ways, so determining the relevant ones (more than one) will give the best market insight. The effective use of questionnaires and surveys in gathering market insight is undeniable. These tools have yielded optimum results with popular methods of research such as quantitative market research and qualitative market research. These methods are employed in market trend analysis.
Why it is important for every business in Africa
Knowing the reaction of the market to a product or service should not be underplayed. The market reaction will ensure proper business planning in any organization, meet the needs of its customers, and lead the competition by creating cutting-edge innovations.
