FAQs

The Ansoff growth matrix is a visualization that helps businesses find innovative approaches to expand upon through a diversification strategy. Ansoff matrix examples evaluate the potential opportunities and risk factors connected to existing products, new products, the current market, and new markets by organizing them into quadrants.

Each quadrant on the market product grid represents a potential avenue for growth—helping to prompt a product development strategy, reveal potential risks, and provide insights into how the product interacts with the broader environment.

The four quadrants of a product market expansion grid represent the following four growth strategy categories:

Market development: Strategies for growth opportunities within the market might include reaching out to a new customer segment or opening brick-and-mortar stores in new locations.

Market penetration: To increase your impact on the market, you might adjust your messaging or negotiate with suppliers to lower costs.

Diversification: Create a corporate strategy to mitigate company risk and drive innovation. Diversification strategies include introducing new products to new markets.

Product development: Strategies around developing new products and iterating current products can drive growth by helping you stand out in new and existing markets.

To draw an Ansoff matrix, begin with an Ansoff matrix template or a market product grid example).
