Market Share

"Market Share" refers to the portion of the total locally-produced supply of a Commodity that is produced by an individual Industry or Institution in the Study Area. For example, if $100 of Commodity X is produced by three Industries (Industry A, $50; Industry B, $30; Industry C, $20) their respective Market Shares would be 50%, 30% and 20%. Market Shares are often used during impact analysis to distribute the total demand for a Commodity among the Industries that produce it.
