Market Saturation = 98.9% - What Now?

Market saturation means almost everyone already has what they want, like having 100 cookies and only one kid left to share them with.

What Does Saturation Mean?

Imagine you're selling cookies, and there are 100 kids in town. At first, it's easy, every kid wants a cookie, so you just give them out. But as time goes on, more and more kids get cookies until finally, only one kid is left without one. That’s market saturation, most of the people (or kids) already have what they want (cookies), and there's not much room for new ones.

What Now?

Now, if you're trying to sell more cookies, it's like trying to give a cookie to a kid who already has one. That’s tough! So now, you need to think of something new, maybe chocolate chips inside the cookies, or making them giant so they can share with friends.

That’s what companies do when markets get saturated, they try new things to keep everyone excited and wanting more. Market saturation means almost everyone already has what they want, like having 100 cookies and only one kid left to share them with.
