Serviceable Obtainable Market

The Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) refers to the segment of the market that a business can feasibly capture with its offerings. It serves as a realistic, short-term objective by considering elements such as competition, brand recognition, and resource availability.

SOM is essential for crafting a targeted business strategy and establishing attainable short-term objectives. It aids in financial forecasting and critical operational choices, enabling businesses to formulate realistic growth strategies and optimize resource allocation.

Evaluating your SOM gives a clear perspective on your position in the competitive environment. This understanding assists management in choosing strategies that enhance the company's positioning. A clearly articulated SOM is also important for attracting investors by showcasing a concrete and feasible market opportunity.

This is the method for calculating your serviceable obtainable market.

Although both metrics assess market size, they fulfill distinct strategic roles.
