Thus it has already sought out the STP analysis that it would use to promote and sell its products. Market Segments: The market segments that Nike can mainly differentiate are high, medium and low end customers with varying income levels. Thus, Nike needs to segment on various fronts such as economic, demographic, geographical differentiations. Economic segmentation: High, medium and low income levels that can be clubbed with there lifestyles of high, medium and low end customers. Demographic segmentation: The company can segment the market into age, gender and class segments. Geographical segmentation: The company can segment the market into segments of north, west, east and south. Target Market: The company needs to target the market as per the brand image and equity in different markets. Thus, the company has targeted the market of high-end, high income level between the age of 16- 55 with a pan India location. Thus the market segment it is targeting is quite essential to differentiate itself from its competitors i.e. Reebok, Puma, Fila and local brands like Bata. Positioning: The brand Nike has positioned itself in the minds of the consumer as a high-end product which is quite costly but gives the value for money with its service, quality and designs. All this analysis provides Nike with the customer satisfaction and thus loyalty that it needs to achieve high volumes and profitability. Sportswear major Nike is way ahead in the race for leadership in sportswear. It shot to a 40 per cent share of the US sportswear market -- the biggest in the world -- which gives it a lead in the global market, even though Adidas leads in Europe. But the head start hasn't helped the global sports brand in the Indian market so far. And that's despite the huge brand awareness the brand enjoyed in India even before it set up shop here in 1996. According to retail consultancy KSA Technopak, while Reebok has a 45 per cent share, Adidas has 30 per cent and Nike accounts for just 25 per cent of the Rs 375-400 crore branded sportswear market. How did the swoosh lose its sheen? The biggest hurdles for Nike in India were its entry model and its lack of aggression. When the global sports majors entered the Indian market in 1995-96, government policy dictated that they had to have a local partner. Nike agreed to an exclusive distribution agreement with a Delhi-based trading firm Sierra, in early 1996; Adidas signed up a licensing agreement with Bata for retailing at its huge network of stores; only Reebok entered India as a subsidiary with a 20 per cent equity stake by Phoenix, a distribution and trading firm and Reebok's distribution partner.
