Market Share
The percentage of total category revenue or customers captured by a given company.
Market share measures how much of a defined market a company holds, usually by revenue but sometimes by customers, usage, or units. It can be calculated globally or sliced by segment, geography, or buyer type. Share movement is a lagging indicator of positioning, product quality, and go-to-market efficiency.
The trap is using share in isolation. A company can lose share while growing revenue (in a faster-growing market) or gain share while shrinking (in a dying one). The more useful questions are relative share (your share versus the #1 player), share of new logos (who is winning the freshest decisions), and share of voice (who shows up in the buyer journey).
