What Is the Reality of Data Utilization
in Market Development?

When developing markets for your products or services, it is essential to grasp the total market size and set strategic goals. TAM, SAM, and SOM are cited as effective indicators for market analysis.

On the other hand, while many understand the importance of visualizing TAM, SAM, and SOM, there are likely many who are unsure of how to proceed specifically.

In this article, we introduce methods for market analysis using TAM, SAM, and SOM, as well as how to actually calculate your company's TAM.

What Are TAM, SAM, and SOM?

The indicator representing the total revenue opportunity for a product or service is called the Total Addressable Market (TAM).
It is defined as the maximum potential market size and is considered a valuable tool for efficiently identifying potential customers.

The portion of the TAM that represents your specific target market is called the Serviceable Available Market (SAM).
The portion of the SAM that your company can realistically reach through its sales activities is called the Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM).

Since the SOM can be viewed as the target market share for your product or service, it is frequently used to calculate corporate sales targets.

What Are TAM, SAM, and SOM?

Leveraging Corporate Data

Accurate corporate data is essential for understanding TAM, SAM, and SOM.

Calculating TAM

While calculating TAM efficiently is important, it requires having a reliable foundation of corporate data.

Here, you can calculate your company's TAM by utilizing LBC, a proprietary corporate database covering 12.5 million locations across Japan, built by uSonar.

Start by calculating the TAM for your company or business.

Visualizing SAM and SOM

Furthermore, to perform the necessary filtering to create SAM and SOM, it is crucial to understand the corporate characteristics of both your current and potential customers.

The ability to filter by criteria such as industry and number of employees, as well as by "challenges" and "interests," significantly improves the precision of your targeting.

Additionally, the freshness of the information used for filtering is also critical.
