13. 4. Identify the gap between
customers and competition
Lack of a safe pediatric clinic
With high quality physicians
Where children look forward to going
Children can be left behind (“day care”)
Can play, eat, learn and interact with others
Development & Growth
Holistic perspective
Medical, Psychological, Social, Education
Overall Well Being
14. 5a. Estimate the market size
using competitor data
AAP analysis of 2000 to 2004 Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey.
15. 5b. Estimate the market size
using company data
No known value yet of the prodcut
Estimates sales = Php 21,600,000
Probable market share = 1%
Market size = 21,600,000/0.01 =
2,160,000,000
16. 5c. Estimate the market size
using customer data
1. 1 session = Php 750
Estimate 50 patients per day
Per day: Php 750 x 100 = PhP 75,000
Per household (2 children) = PhP
150,000
17. 5. Decide on market size in
pesos, not in number of
people
1. Competitor data= $117.2 B
2. Company data = Php 2,160,000,000
3. Customer Usage data = 499,766.40
Population of Makati, 0-17 y/o: 173,530
(Source: http://www.makaticity.com/population/)
173,530 x 0.01 x (6 days x 4 weeks x 12 months) = 499,766.40
