(then 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
As per my research, I am taking 50,000 (lower side) as the total no. of potential customers.
