Concept:
Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into distinct subsets (segments) that behave in the same way or have similar needs. Because each segment is fairly homogeneous in their needs and attitudes, they are likely to respond similarly to a given marketing strategy.
Scenario:

He has requested his manager for the market research as he has not yet decided that either he should go for men’s wear or kid’s wear. He is also confused thatwhether he should sell his product in local market or exports his product. He has asked following question from his manager:

Q2.
On which bases we divide market in to distinct subsets? (5 marks)
Q3.
