Catchment Analysis

Identify the Right Location. Unlock the Right Market Potential.

Choosing the right location is an important part of ensuring that you are able to be successful in any retail location, medical facility, school, bank, restaurant, car dealership or service center. Making the wrong choice of potential locations will create difficulties for you to attract customers resulting in fewer sales and limited expansion possibilities. Conversely, the right location can help grow your business significantly through improved performance.

Conducting a Catchment Analysis gives you the opportunity to examine and determine the geographic area where your potential customers will come from, allowing you to make informed decisions about site selection, growth planning, market penetration and resource allocation.

At MarketGenics, we provide a complete range of Catchment Analysis Services to assist our clients in determining potential markets and locations. We do this by collecting and analyzing data from many different areas, including; market research, demographic information, consumer behaviour, competitive intelligence.

What is Catchment Analysis?

A catchment analysis identifies consumer demographic and behavioral profiles along with the purchasing abilities and market potential of the consumers living and/or working in an area defined by a business location.

Catchment analysis is performed in order to find answers to the following questions:

What is the demographic makeup of the target market, what quantity and types of products do they buy?

What are the reasons that will influence a customer to visit a store, and how much will they spend?

By using catchment analysis, businesses are given the information required to make an informed investment decision regarding the targeted area, and are able to assess the opportunities and risks associated with the targeted area's investment prior to making the actual investment.

Who are the people living and working within the targeted area?
What are the size and growth potential of the market?
Is the location accessible to potential customers?
Who are the major competitors in the area?
