Competitor analysis has exploded in recent years thanks to the arrival of AI-powered, automated software tools. It\u2019s estimated that <\/span>90% of Fortune 500 Companies<\/span><\/a> are using them to gain an advantage over competitors and smaller companies are following suit.\u00a0

<\/span><\/p>

In this article, we\u2019ll take a closer look at competitor analysis benefits. Whether you\u2019re a marketer, sales professional, product manager or responsible for managing data and intelligence in your organisation, there\u2019s a lot to be gained from embracing competitor intelligence.

<\/span><\/p>

According to McKinsey, <\/span>80% of companies use competitive intelligence to make strategic decisions across multiple departments<\/span><\/a>, including marketing, sales, and product development.

<\/span><\/p>

But before examining the 8 key competitor analysis benefits, let\u2019s start with a simple definition.

What Is Competitor Analysis?

Competitor analysis is the process of gathering and analysing data about competing businesses in the same industry or market. The primary goal is to understand the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each competitor, in order to inform strategic decision-making and gain a competitive advantage.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Competitor analysis typically involves gathering data on a range of factors, including pricing, product changes, marketing activity, promotions, investments, personnel changes and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>


There\u2019s tangible evidence for competitor analysis benefits. Businesses that use competitor analysis to inform their sales and marketing strategies, for example, can achieve up to a <\/span>10% increase in revenue and up to a 15% increase in market share<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Competitor analysis can be performed through a variety of methods, such as online research, surveys, interviews, and industry reports. Increasingly, businesses are turning to competitor intelligence platforms to <\/span>automate <\/span><\/a>the process of gathering and analysing data.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Such platforms accelerate the gathering process, capturing insights in real-time and ensuring nothing important is missed. The data is then ready for organisations to mine and analyse. In the case of WatchMyCompetitor<\/a>, the intelligence is analysed and curated on behalf of users, saving them time and energy and reducing the need to hire more in-house analysts or consultants.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1) Build a fuller, clearer picture of the market<\/span><\/h3>

Your competitors are actively seeking to steal market share and grow their business. Every action they undertake has the potential to impact your position in the market, sales and future success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Likewise, if something happens to them such as an industry fine or PR blunder, it could create opportunities for you. If you\u2019re not tracking and analysing the market, you could discover the news too late to protect your interests or make the most of a situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Competitor analysis keeps your finger on the pulse of the industry you\u2019re operating in. It gives you a complete and up-to-date picture of what\u2019s happening so that you\u2019re in a better position to respond.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2) Become the authority on regulatory changes\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

If your industry is subject to regular regulatory change, waiting for official updates or commentary in trade publications may not offer enough time to plan the appropriate response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But using competitor analysis, you can gain the insights to make the most of the situation. For example, by monitoring the right sources for mentions of planned changes or discussions preceding them, you can start to build up a clearer understanding of how they\u2019ll impact your industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This could give you the opportunity to create content around the topic and establish your organisation as a leading voice that others follow. As a result, you can build trust amongst customers, attract the right candidates and raise awareness for your brand.

3) Win the talent market<\/span><\/h3>

Are you operating in a small or competitive talent pool? If you\u2019re missing out on great people and your competitors are leading the race to top talent, it has the potential to impact your productivity and future prospects. It could also give them a sizable advantage in the market, meaning they get stronger while your organisation plateaus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Monitoring your competitors can turn the tide. By tracking their approach to salaries, benefits, messaging, marketing channels and tactics, and other aspects of their proposition, you can begin to understand the reasons for their success and where you need to improve.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Not only that but you can spot potential areas of weakness that you can exploit to your advantage. The more informed you are, the more effective your own recruitment strategies will be.<\/span><\/p>


77% of recruiters believe that understanding their company’s competitive position is essential<\/span><\/a> for attracting top talent.<\/span>

4) Perfect your product roadmaps<\/span><\/h3>

Launching a new product or feature brings an element of risk. If it doesn\u2019t go well, the financial impact can be devastating for an organisation not to mention the impact on the people involved. If your product is going head-to-head with other products or has the potential to disrupt the market, understanding the competitive landscape is incredibly valuable.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Competitor analysis gives you the ability to track and understand rival product roadmaps<\/a>. You can see when and how they launch their products and even when products are discontinued. You\u2019ll gain insight into what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t and where there are opportunities and threats. This level of business intelligence can inform your own product roadmaps so that you increase the potential for your launches and updates to be a success.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

5) Minimise the impact of your competitors\u2019 marketing activity<\/span><\/h3>

If a competitor changes its website, messaging, content or channel focus, or marketing tactics, it could improve their results and see them gain an advantage in the market. By tracking every change they make in real-time, you won\u2019t be playing catch up trying to work out what they\u2019ve done differently to grow market share.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You\u2019ll have a clear picture of the approach they\u2019ve taken and be able to analyse why it\u2019s worked. You\u2019ll be armed with the most up-to-date intelligence to adapt your strategies and improve your website so that you reduce the risks to your market position.

<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

6) Respond faster to market threats and opportunities<\/span><\/h3>

Whether it\u2019s the threat of a new entrant or product in the market, or an opportunity created by a competitor facing financial struggles, the window of time for you to act in order to protect and grow your revenue is small. The longer you leave it, the greater the risk of them impacting your revenue or of another organisation seizing the opportunity first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Because competitor activity is tracked in real-time and analysed by market experts, your intelligence is ready for you to act upon immediately. You can move faster to minimise threats and capitalise on opportunities. <\/span>Five-times faster<\/span><\/a>, in fact.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

7) Empower teams and individuals to get better results<\/span><\/h3>

Competitor analysis isn\u2019t only valuable to data and insight teams. It has the potential to benefit multiple departments, teams and individuals across your organisation. Whether it\u2019s marketing, sales, product or even senior management, intelligence can be used to help them make smarter strategic decisions to improve results.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A number of competitor intelligence tools offer the ability to set up alerts for specific types of insights and share them directly with relevant stakeholders, meaning they don\u2019t need to access the dashboard directly. Some will integrate with the communication and data visualisation tools your organisation is already using to smooth the transition to becoming a data-driven company.<\/span><\/p>


86% of businesses believe that <\/span>integrated, automated technology is critical<\/span><\/a> to their success. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

8) Increase the value of your department to the organisation<\/span><\/h3>

Every department needs to prove its worth to an organisation. The more valuable it is, the more budget and resources it can expect. That could present the opportunity to grow your team, invest in training and development, offer promotions and even improve your own career prospects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

By leading the project that brings valuable intelligence into the organisation, you can increase your department\u2019s value. You can give teams and management a clearer understanding of the market they\u2019re part of and the competitors they\u2019re up against. They\u2019ll have data that helps them become better at their jobs and achieve better results. All of that will shine a favourable light on you and your team.

Whether you\u2019re in a fast-changing industry with multiple competitors and new challenges or a more steady competitive landscape with a small number of big players, finding the right approach to competitor analysis can help you exploit its benefits.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Sifting through your competitors\u2019 entire global digital footprints to find the most relevant intelligence is time-consuming and labour-intensive. If you don\u2019t have a dedicated or large insights department, it may not be feasible, which limits the value you can gain from other intelligence solutions. WMC combines automated tracking with expert human analysis. Everything you see in your dashboard has been curated, so it\u2019s ready for you to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It can be used to optimise your product, marketing and sales strategies as well as make smarter decisions faster as a business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
