Problem

You are advising a company that is considering whether to enter a new product category. Leadership wants a clear view of the market, the competitive landscape, and whether the category is large enough to justify investment.

How would you approach a market analysis for a new product category?

What the interviewer is testing

Whether you can turn a vague market question into a structured analysis.
Whether you can size a market using TAM, SAM, and SOM instead of relying on intuition.
Whether you can separate market attractiveness from company fit and execution feasibility.
Whether you can incorporate competition, customer needs, and go-to-market constraints into one recommendation.
