Purpose

Dealer groups compete in multiple local markets simultaneously. A group can be gaining share in one city while losing it in another — without a unified view, these opposing trends mask each other and delay corrective action.

Market Share Analyzer calculates the group's make-level and segment-level market share in each location's operating region, compares it to prior periods, and identifies which markets are growing share (to reinforce) and which are losing share (to investigate).

Limitations

  • Share calculations reflect sold transaction data with a 1–3 day lag from the most recent complete month.
  • Market geography is defined by ZIP + radius in the group profile — adjust radii if markets feel too narrow.
  • Brand mapping must match MarketCheck make nomenclature exactly.
  • US market only.
