Strategic Use of Market Share Metrics
A new startup, 'AquaVibe,' launches a line of 'smart' water bottles that track daily hydration. In their first-year press release, they claim to have captured 'an impressive 75% of the smart water bottle market.' A financial analyst, however, reports that AquaVibe's share of the overall 'reusable water bottle market' is only 2%, and its share of the 'personal hydration products market' (including all bottles, hydration packs, etc.) is less than 0.5%. Critically evaluate AquaVibe's press release claim. In your response, explain why all three market share figures could be factually correct simultaneously and discuss the strategic reasons why AquaVibe would choose to publicize the 75% figure over the others.
