“Market share” is the percentage or portion of the market controlled by a company or its products/services. If you’re the largest distributor of construction widgets in Maricopa County, AZ, you have the majority market share.
You should use construction data analytics to keep an eye on other companies. (They may try to cut into your market share.)
Perhaps you would like to target another market; a different location. You need to evaluate your competitors. What market share does each company have and what are their vulnerabilities? Construction data using last year’s building permit information and historical trends will give you the numbers you need.
How to Calculate Your Market Share
There’s an easy, logical formula to calculate your construction-industry widget sales market share. First, pick the timeframe, such as 2Q 2019.
Take your total revenue, 2Q 2019 and – this is where it gets tricky – find the total sales revenue for all construction widgets in your market.
Divide your revenue by the total revenue and you now have your market share percentage. Or you could simply request a construction data detailed statistics report.

But you can’t lose sight of the fact that data for Mississippi may have no bearing on your company in Washington.
Coronavirus 2020 and You
Put your market share information to work, and do it now, while you’ve got some “down” time. This is no time to spend working jigsaw puzzles at home (Although many of us in the construction industry enjoy that particular hobby).

Thank you, David, For sharing the valuable tips to evaluate market share using construction data. Due to the COVID-19 impact, the share market is very unstable. In such a scenario all investors look for a safer way to involve in the share market.
