Market share is a summary of individual customer preferences. Changes in market share indicate the trends in decisions being made by customers who are actually using the products that you are considering. Changes in market share reveal trends in customer acceptance and customer satisfaction.
A company with increasing market share is satisfying its existing customers. Its customers are prospering and buying more. They are also recommending the company to their friends. A company with declining market share is losing its existing customers and failing to attract new customers. Existing customers are reducing purchases either because they are dissatisfied with the products or because they are failing in the marketplace.
