#MarketPullback Market pull is a term used in the business and innovation field to describe an approach where the development of products, services, or technologies is driven by the needs, demands, or desires of the market. In other words, the market "pulls" innovation, as companies seek to satisfy an existing need or seize a perceived opportunity among consumers.
Characteristics of Market Pull:
1. Customer orientation: It is based on identifying the specific needs of the market or the customer.
2. Risk reduction: Since it responds to an existing demand, there is less uncertainty about the acceptance of the product or service.
3. Market research: It is crucial to conduct studies to understand trends, desires, and problems in the market.
4. Reactive approach: Companies respond to clear demands, rather than anticipating with a radical or unknown innovation.
This contrasts with Technology Push, where a technological innovation seeks to create a need or transform the market, even if there is no clear demand initially.
Example:
If a company observes that there is a high demand for sustainable solutions in the automotive sector, it may develop an electric car in response to that need. Here, the market is driving development.
