# Market Sizing Analysis

完整的市場規模評估方法,用來計算新創機會的 Total Addressable Market (TAM)、Serviceable Available Market (SAM) 和 Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)。

## Overview

市場規模評估是新創策略、募資與商業規劃的基礎。用三種互補的方法計算市場機會:top-down(產業報告)、bottom-up(客群計算)和價值理論(願付價格)。

## Core Concepts

### The Three-Tier Market Framework

**TAM (Total Addressable Market)**

- 達到 100% 市占率時的總營收機會
- 定義潛在客戶的全貌
- 用於長期願景與市場驗證
- 例:全球所有 email 行銷軟體的營收

**SAM (Serviceable Available Market)**

- TAM 中,用目前的產品/服務能鎖定的部分
- 把地理、客群或能力的限制納入考量
- 代表實際可觸及的機會
- 例:北美電商用的 AI email 行銷

**SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market)**

- 3 到 5 年內可實際取得的市占率
- 把競爭、資源和市場動態納入考量
- 用於財務預測與募資
- 例:依競爭格局,取 SAM 的 2% 到 5%

### When to Use Each Methodology

**Top-Down Analysis**

- 已有成熟的市場研究時使用
- 最適合成熟、定義明確的市場
- 驗證市場存在與成長性
- 從產業報告出發,逐步縮小範圍

**Bottom-Up Analysis**

- 鎖定特定客群時使用
- 最適合新興或利基市場
- 對投資人最有說服力
- 從客戶資料和定價往上堆

**Value Theory**

- 創造新市場類別時使用
- 最適合顛覆性創新
- 依創造的價值來估算
- 計算客戶為解決問題願意付的價格

# Market Sizing Analysis

Comprehensive market sizing methodologies for calculating Total Addressable Market (TAM), Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) for startup opportunities.

## Overview

Market sizing provides the foundation for startup strategy, fundraising, and business planning. Calculate market opportunity using three complementary methodologies: top-down (industry reports), bottom-up (customer segment calculations), and value theory (willingness to pay).

## Core Concepts

### The Three-Tier Market Framework

**TAM (Total Addressable Market)**

- Total revenue opportunity if achieving 100% market share
- Defines the universe of potential customers
- Used for long-term vision and market validation
- Example: All email marketing software revenue globally

**SAM (Serviceable Available Market)**

- Portion of TAM targetable with current product/service
- Accounts for geographic, segment, or capability constraints
- Represents realistic addressable opportunity
- Example: AI-powered email marketing for e-commerce in North America

**SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market)**

- Realistic market share achievable in 3-5 years
- Accounts for competition, resources, and market dynamics
- Used for financial projections and fundraising
- Example: 2-5% of SAM based on competitive landscape

### When to Use Each Methodology

**Top-Down Analysis**

- Use when established market research exists
- Best for mature, well-defined markets
- Validates market existence and growth
- Starts with industry reports and narrows down

**Bottom-Up Analysis**

- Use when targeting specific customer segments
- Best for new or niche markets
- Most credible for investors
- Builds from customer data and pricing

**Value Theory**

- Use when creating new market categories
- Best for disruptive innovations
- Estimates based on value creation
- Calculates willingness to pay for problem solution
