Market Segmentation
Market segmentation is a fundamental concept in marketing that involves dividing a broad target market into
subsets of consumers who share common characteristics. This strategic approach allows businesses to tailor
their products, services, and marketing efforts to the specific needs, preferences, and behaviors of different
customer groups. By understanding and implementing effective market segmentation, organizations can
enhance their customer engagement, improve their competitive positioning, and ultimately drive sales growth.
Market segment is a part of a whole market where a particular customer group has similar characteristics.
