Building Materials_Domestic Market
Layout
1. Analysis background introduction
This case comes from a leading building
materials manufacturing enterprise, focusing on providing high-quality,
innovative and environmentally friendly building materials products for the
domestic and foreign construction industry. The company has many years of
industry experience and has established a good brand reputation in the market.
The products cover cement, ceramic tiles, steel, glass and other building
materials, and are widely used in a variety of construction types such as
residential, commercial and industrial.
With the continuous changes in market
demand and the rapid development of the construction industry, the company is
not only committed to improving product quality, but also makes strategic
planning in terms of channel construction and market layout to meet the growing
market demand. The company has now established production bases in many
provinces and regions, and formed a nationwide sales network. However, with the
intensification of industry competition and changes in the market environment,
how to maintain and expand our market share in the domestic market has become a
key issue for the future development of the company.
2. Statement of key issues
At present, enterprises have not been
fully covered in some areas, especially in second- and third-tier cities and
county-level markets. The existing market layout needs to be optimized. Some
areas have not been developed or have little competition, and there is a large
market potential.
The existing dealer network may have
problems such as unevenness, low coverage, low efficiency, etc., which will
affect the smooth progress of market expansion and sales.

4. Analysis and interpretation
Through a comprehensive understanding of
the distribution of the national building materials market and the blank
market, help enterprises grasp the competitive trend of the market.

By analyzing key indicators such as the
number of existing dealers, development targets and the cumulative number of
annual development, we can evaluate the effectiveness of existing dealer
channels, optimize the layout of dealer networks, adjust inappropriate dealer
configurations, and improve the effectiveness and market coverage of channels.

5. Application effect
By identifying blank provinces, cities,
counties and other market areas that are not fully developed or less
competitive, enterprises can accurately locate potential growth points. These
regions usually have large market potential and relatively little competitive
pressure. Therefore, by analyzing relevant data, enterprises can:
Quickly enter potential markets: quickly
occupy those markets that have not been fully developed, and take advantage of
lower market entry costs and competitive advantages to occupy a first-mover
advantage.
Improve market penetration: carry out
effective marketing and sales promotion in these blank markets, improve the
market penetration of products, and build strong brand influence.
Optimize resource allocation: allocate
resources to market development according to regional potential, avoid
over-exploitation of saturated markets, and concentrate resources in areas with
high growth potential.
Through the analysis of the number of
dealers, the cumulative number of annual development, the development target of
dealers and other data, enterprises can better understand the distribution and
effectiveness of the existing dealer network, so as to achieve:
Improve channel coverage: analyze the
number and distribution of dealers in various regions, find opportunities to
cover blank areas, make up for the gaps of dealers, and enhance channel
penetration.
Improve the effectiveness of dealer
cooperation: By optimizing the selection and management of dealers, ensure that
each dealer can effectively promote product sales in the area under their
responsibility and improve the sales conversion rate.
Reduce channel costs: Through accurate
market analysis, avoid redundant or inefficient dealer networks, reduce channel
management costs, and ensure the efficient operation of channels.
