What Is Market Recognition?
Market recognition is the level of public awareness of a brand, product or company. It is measured by the amount of income a product or company generates and their overall market share compared to similar products or companies.

Significance
-
Market recognition is essential for business survival. Products will not sell if potential buyers are not aware of them. A company with an established market share generates consumer confidence.
Features
-
Market recognition increases in proportion to the sales that a product generates. This is because it is measured by sales percentages. For example, a soft drinks company that increases its share of the market from 50 to 60 percent, through increased sales, will boost its market recognition.
-
Promotion
-
Sales, marketing, promotion and word-of-mouth recommendations help develop public awareness and increase sales, boosting a product's market share and making it more recognizable to the buying public. Market recognition is relative. Companies selling product aimed at a niche market, for example, will aim to build potential customer awareness within that market and not the wider public.
