This PPT slide outlines the critical components of a market analysis aimed at identifying macro-economic opportunities and risks for a target company. The objective is clearly stated at the top, emphasizing the importance of understanding market dynamics, particularly for private equity firms that are assessing potential investments.
The first section, "Business Definition," focuses on the market context in which the target company operates. It distinguishes between the immediate market—defined by specific segments and geographic areas—and the broader market that influences these segments. This dual perspective is crucial for understanding the company's exposure to various market conditions.
Next, "Market Drivers" delves into the factors that can influence market dynamics. It highlights demand drivers such as shifts in consumer preferences, regulatory changes, and economic growth. On the supply side, it discusses competitive pressures from existing players, new entrants, and technological advancements. This section underscores the complexity of market interactions and the need for a comprehensive understanding of both demand and supply factors.
Lastly, "Market Attractiveness" evaluates the overall appeal of the immediate market. It considers historical, current, and future market conditions in terms of profitability and growth potential. Industry characteristics are also examined, including the forces at play and structural elements that could impact performance.
This slide serves as a foundational framework for conducting thorough due diligence, guiding potential investors in assessing the viability and risks associated with the target company. Understanding these components is essential for making informed investment decisions.
