This is to include the companies that have come into a previously defined segment with the intention of beating the existing competitors.

Don't get me wrong, I love a niche strategy, just don't tell me there are no competitors because there usually are general purpose competitors in a niche. Competing against non-use is OK as long as you are sure that there is a compelling reason to buy, otherwise you are dead. As for becoming a monopoly, well, I think I would love to have that problem ;-) April Hi David – thanks for the comment.

If you have somehow capture more than 74% of the market, hey, start looking around for the antitrust lawyers. If your competitors don't add up to 26% of the market, you need to foster competition. Besides, a market is easier to make if there are more competitors, rather than less. You have to build a category and a market. Get help. It's a matter of coopertition.
