How to build a useful and quick Industry Analysis for your interview preparation? Have you ever been in an interview and wished you had read more about the Industry? You had engaging talking points than just a simple understanding of the industry? You can't engage a senior executive of your dream company in a meaningful conversation? If you are struggling with delivering compelling insights on the industry where your company of choice currently operates in, you run the risk of being tagged as a fresher even though you would have significant experience to showcase. This is important regardless of your degree and course of study. The process of industry analysis is equally important for a B.Tech., BBA. B.Com. and MBA students. In fact, it continues to be very important even when you are a working professional. A through industry analysis contains the following areas: Let me take an example of the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry to explain this further. The most basic element of an industry analysis is an overview of the major products, services and industry players for e.g. You will notice that we have added a few talking points and insights in the slide below: •Ayurveda products category is on the rise and will witness 16% CAGR from 2016 to 2021 (Emami, Dabur and
Patanjali currently own 70% of this market share). This is significant for companies in the FMCG industry because a particular product category is growing rapidly and there is a need to consolidate market share gains •Distribution channels will continue to move to online platforms as 40% of FMCG purchases are expected to go online, resulting in it being a Rs. 39,000 crores market. •Gross and overall margin structures will be under stress as input costs are on the rise for key base inputs particularly around palm oil (used in soaps), HDPE, LDPE (used in plastic bottles), Titanium Dioxide (used in paints) Please realize that putting together these insights does not need one to always employ fancy management frameworks like PESTLE, SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces, Ansoff Matrix. You can use simple frameworks which are commonly used by the industry and professionals. A through industry analysis can span up to 30 slides with detailed information. Finally, any analysis of an industry would be incomplete if it does not address the maturity of the particular sector. As a job applicant or interview candidate having the knowledge of strategic and operational levers which affect this maturity assessment helps you provide an informed opinion on the industry's maturity.
