What is Retail Market Power?

The Nielsen Retail Market Power database provides an actionable portrait of sales opportunity for market analysis, so marketers can maximize growth strategies by identifying and closing the sales gaps that exist in the marketplace. By using sales potential to depict supply, and geography-based estimates of potential annual consumer expenditures to depict demand, Retail Market Power enables an opportunity gap analysis of the retail environment.

Example – NYC’s Jewelry and Vehicle Sales

By analyzing a geography’s retail sales and expenditures within an industry, you can determine whether or not a gap or opportunity exists. Let’s look at some data.
