If I have 100% of the market with 50 units sold and you have 0% of the market with 0 units sold then the following week we each sell 25 units the new market shares would be ME 75% & YOU 25%.
If the following week I sold 20 units and you sold 15 then the new marketshare numbers would be ME 70.37% & YOU 29.63%.
Market share is about ratios, not amount sold.
-If you want to hold a 50% market share you must have half of the sales to date.
-If you want a 66% market share you have to outsell your competitors by selling 2 items for every 1 they sell.
-If you want to maintain an 80% marketshare you have to outsell your competitors by selling 4 items for every 1 they sell.
-If you want to maintain a 90% market share you have to outsell your competitors by selling 9 items for every 1 they sell.
-If you want to maintain a 95% marketshare you need to sell 19 items for every 1 they sell.
- If you want to maintain a 99% market share you need to sell 99 items for every 1 the sell.
-If you want 100% marketshare you must sell an infinite amount of items for every 1 they sell...or in reality your competitor cannot make a sale at all otherwise they will forever have some amount of marketshare.
