A company needs to be informed about competitors, their assets and the respective market position of competing organizations. The competitor analysis seeks to assess products, methods and market behavior of competitors so that a company can use the information to improve the quality of their own products and its own performance.

Successful businesses use tools and analyses to create new strategies which serve to exploit new markets or to improve the current performance.
