• What would be the market potential for next year?
• Based on available data, noodles industry is expected to grow by 20%
next year
• Thus noodles market has a potential of INR 9 million x 1.20 = INR
10.8 million next year
• From this, Maggie may have a market share of 35% - thus Maggie
sales potential next year will be INR 10.8The
