Let's have a peek into how our ICP spend their time and money

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

To estimate the highest ceiling of the market, we're starting with India's total population, narrowing it down to Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, and focusing on individuals aged 5 to 50.

Key Assumptions:

• Urban Population: We've considered 48 Crore individuals residing in urban areas.
• Target Age Group: Focusing on the 5-50 age group, which aligns with the target audience for gut health products.
  We stop at population over 50 because there is a high chance of them suffering from age-related issues that leads them to be on medications. In such a case, taking the good bug directly might not be the best option.
• Geographic Focus: Targeting Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, where healthcare awareness and disposable income are relatively higher.

By narrowing down the target market to this specific segment, we aim to accurately assess the potential market size for The Good Bug's products.

Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM)

This is the realistically market that TGB can target from the TAM.

We are now considering the population that suffer from mild to chronic digestive issues on frequent basis. This will be about 50% of the target population we calculated earlier.
Individuals with Annual Income Over 6 Lakhs: 4-5 Crore (as per the given data)

The SAM calculation focuses on a more realistic segment of the TAM by considering individuals who experience digestive issues and have the financial means to purchase wellness supplements:

1. Individuals with Annual Income Over ₹6 Lakhs: Based on available data, approximately 4 crore individuals fall into this category, indicating they have the financial capability to invest in health products.
2. Individuals with Digestive Issues: Research indicates that around 70% of this income bracket suffers from mild to chronic digestive issues. Therefore, we can estimate:
3. • Individuals with Digestive Issues=4 Crore×70%=2.8 CroreIndividuals with Digestive Issues=4 Crore×70%=2.8 Crore

Consequently, the SAM for The Good Bug is 2.8 crore, representing those who are not only financially capable but also likely to benefit from probiotic solutions.

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)

Let's focus on the obtainable portion of the serviceable population that TGB can realistically capture.
We will do this by looking at the market competition and saturation to address the market share we will be able to capture. We will also consider the growth TGB has achieved in the two years that it has been in the industry.

The SOM reflects the portion of the SAM that The Good Bug can realistically capture based on competitive dynamics and market saturation:

1. Target Market Share: After analyzing market competition and growth rates, we estimate that The Good Bug can capture approximately 25% of the SAM.
2. • SOM=2.8 Crore×25%=0.7 CroreSOM=2.8 Crore×25%=0.7 Crore

Thus, the SOM for The Good Bug is 0.7 crore, indicating a realistic target for customer acquisition based on current market conditions.

The Good Bug's Share in SOM

1. Calculating Customer Base Based on Market Share:
2. • If The Good Bug captures 10% of the SOM:
     Customer Base=0.7 crore×10%=0.07 crore or 70 000 customers 
      
   • If The Good Bug captures 15% of the SOM:
     Customer Base=0.7 crore×15%=0.105 crore or 105 000 customers 
      

Annual Spending Value of The Good Bug Customers

• Average Annual Spending per Customer: ₹10,000 on wellness supplements.

1. Calculating Total Revenue Based on Customer Base:
2. • For 10% market share (70,000 customers):
     Total Revenue=70,000 customers×₹10,000=₹700,000,000 or 70 crore Total Revenue=70,000 customers×₹10,000=₹700,000,000 or 70 crore 
   • For 15% market share (105,000 customers):
     Total Revenue=105,000 customers×₹10,000=₹1,050,000,000 or 105 crore Total Revenue=105,000 customers×₹10,000=₹1,050,000,000 or 105 crore 

Assuming our potential customer spends about ₹10,000 a year on wellness supplements -

Based on this, let's consider TGB's Customer Base
For 15% market share (105,000 customers)
Total Revenue=105,000 customers×₹10,000=₹1,050,000,000 or 105 crore Total Revenue=105,000 customers×₹10,000=₹1,050,000,000 or 105 crore

🗣️ Insights from User Research

One thing users like about the brand

🫂 Why will people refer?

Similar to how a strong word-of-mouth (WOM) strategy can drive growth, a referral program can amplify this effect. Given that a significant portion of The Good Bug's customer base is already acquiring customers through non-incentivised referrals, a formalized program can incentivize and optimize this behavior.

📈 New Reward Structure for The Good Bug's Referral Program

To incentivize both referrers and referees, we can introduce a "Gut Health Points" system. These points can be earned and redeemed for various rewards.

For the Referrer:

• Initial Referral Bonus: Award a fixed number of points for the first referral
• Tiered Rewards: Implement a tiered reward system, offering increased benefits for more referrals.
• Exclusive Perks: Provide early access to new products, exclusive discounts, or personalized health consultations.

For the Referee:

• Welcome Bonus: Offer a discount on their first purchase or a free product sample.
• Loyalty Points: Reward referees with points for every purchase, which they can redeem for discounts or free products.
• Personalized Recommendations: Use referral data to provide tailored product recommendations.

All of this could be clubbed with a loyality program by the brand.

P.s. always remember,

Digestive health issues are like an unhealthy relationship: you feel stuck & you think it's okay to feel this way when its not. Sadly, you didn't know better then, but GoodBug is here now to it for you.
