Reasons behind ICP Prioritisation:


Since, the ICPs are varied in their interest and goals we will prioritise ICP 1 and ICP 2, Reasoning


ICP1 :

Gym-Goers (Urban Professionals/College Students)

image.png

According to the market research, the age group 18-35 have a high adoption curve and is informed on the products. They have a high use-case for all fitness brands in one e-commerce platform to get their supplies, plus they have a medium to high appetite to pay. They are tech-savvy and do their own research with a very high to medium frequency of used cases. According to market research, this consists of at least 50% of the total addressable market.

There goals are closely aligned with the products present on Hyugalife and their buying frequency is much higher and more stable than other ICPs.


ICP2:

Health Conscious Individuals ( Tier 1, 25-45)

image.png

These markets are willing to spend money to ensure they prevent health issues in future or address the chronic issues. The customers are primarily from Tier-1 cities and need supplements and health products to help maintain their health. They are well-researched(informed by doctors or otherwise) and are willing to spend money on products they think are going to add value to the quality of their lives. The age group is 80% of the target market and fits all criteria for an ideal customer after ICP1.

Even though the buying frequency is a bit lower than ICP1 ( 2-3 times a year), the appetite to pay and market size demands hyugalife to create strategies for this ICP too.


Other ICPs currently are not profitable or stable enough to be focused on. ICP4 ( Beauty and Lifestyle) get most of their information from competitors in nykaa or beauty-focusedNykaa brands and are most likely gonna get their supplements from them, and ICP3 - is more convenient and snack which means they are more likely to enjoy quick- e-comm to help them with their current needs and we cannot rely on them for repeat purchases - More of one-time purchase behaviour is expected which is not going to help us in ensuring profitability.

(Then let's try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)

Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.

TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)
SOM = SAM x Market Penetration/Share


Size of the Market

The demand of the product is calculated based on the keyword volumes and traffic to the keywords used by potential buyers in the market and might not denote the actual figures* (It is just for general benchmarking)

image.png


TAM (Total Addressable Market) = 149.1M

SAM (Serviceable Available Market)- Target audience = 43.7M ( which is almost 30% of the TAM and growing yearly)

SOM of Hyugalife = 43.7M x 10% (Based on the market consolidation report - SEMRush) = 4.37M

So, the present SOM of Hyugalife is 4.37M, according to the market consolidation report the market share is divided among lot of small players which leaves room for improvement. Also, the highest marketshare is taken up by Guardian.in (almost 22%) of the market. These is a great scope of expansion and growth for hyugalife and its product


Market Consolidation

Currently, the market share is divided among a large number of market players. Most of the market players are taking up less than 3% of the market share based on their share of visits (Traffic through our ideal customers)

Growth Report and Competitive Landscape


image.png

Hyugalife is currently among the Leaders in the market. This means that it has a significant traffic share and is growing at a fast growth pace. It should invest in doubling down is top digital promotion and growth channel based on the insights of the top market share company and get ahead in the market


Channels to use and prioritize

image.png

Based on the current traffic distribution in the market we can observe that:

  1. The top 3 traffic channels are: Direct (68.91%), Organic search (28.1%), Paid Search (1.25%) - Referral (1.04%)
  2. Since the direct traffic is 90+ per cent for the highest marketshare competitor, with Organic search (9%) we can easily make a plan to prioritize the top channels of acquisition.


Channels to use

  1. Brand marketing - To increase the direct traffic from Hyugalife
  2. Organic Search
