You can determine a company’s market share by dividing its total sales or revenues by the industry’s total sales over a fiscal period. Use this measure to get a general idea of the size of a company relative to the industry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: Out of total purchases of a customer of a product or service, what percentage goes to a company defines its market share. In other words, if consumers as a whole buy 100 soaps, and 40 of which are from one company, that company holds 40% market share. Description: There are various types of market share.
