Market Mind Map: Structure and Key Branches
A market mind map is a diagram that shows how a market is organized. The central node is the market, and the main branches cover customers, competitors, pricing, distribution channels and market size and trends. Each branch splits into smaller parts, so you can see how the pieces connect and where the gaps are.
- Customers: segments, needs, buying behavior and decision makers
- Competitors: direct and indirect rivals, their positioning and strengths
- Pricing: price points, models and how they compare across the market
- Channels: how products reach buyers, online, retail or partners
- Trends: size, growth drivers and risks that shape demand
Use the map to prepare a pitch, review a strategy or spot missing research. To build a map from your own notes, create one with CogniGuide in a few minutes.
