Let's Asses the Potential Market Size for TGB


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.


Total Indian Population

Total Urban Population

Population in Tier 1 & Tier 2 Cities

28.8 Crore

TAM

28.8 Crore

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:
    • 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.
    • 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.

3. Market Share Estimation

  • Based on the Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) of 0.7 crore for The Good Bug, estimate the potential market share compared to competitors:
    • If competitors collectively hold around 70% of the market share, The Good Bug could aim for a target market share of approximately 10% to 15% within its SOM as it builds brand recognition and customer loyalty.


The Good Bug's Share in SOM

  1. Calculating Customer Base Based on Market Share:
    • 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:
    • 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

🫂 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.


Lets look at the Current Referral Screens

Issues to be solved

  • This email is the only touchpoint in a customer journey when they come across a referral program.
  • The email visuals are poor
  • Company profile is not optimised.
  • Referral should be a one step process - this screen takes us to a referral page which again asks us to refer.

Problems faced on this stage

  • There's no strategic referal program, they are just giving away money with every user which can be harmful to the company.
  • The user experience is poor
  • Visually, the alignment and the text elements are poor.
  • Content on the page are not responsive and are overlapping
