Opportunity analysis provides data to marketing teams that help to define possible opportunities and encompasses multiple aspects of a given alternative prior to making final decisions. Market opportunity analysis takes into consideration the opportunities available based on the environment in which the organization currently exists such as SWOT analysis, internal and external environmental analyses, and financial conditions.
