The prevalence of the BCG matrix should be the same as that of SWOT analysis, which is also a common method of analysis for marketing and business administration students. As the name suggests, the Boston Consulting Group has established the BCG matrix, also known as the market growth market share matrix.


BCG matrix can be used to determine the performance and prospects of each Strategic Business Unit , control cash flow, and maximize profits by optimizing the business. Strictly speaking, enterprises rely on their own competitive advantage and market attractiveness to invest in operating assets and business.

Competitive advantage is related to market share, and market attractiveness is related to market growth. Therefore, this analysis matrix is formed.


What is BCG Matrix?

According to BCG matrix, product life cycle can be divided into four quadrants (or 2 x 2 matrix), namely "problem child", "Star", "cash cow" and "dog" as follows:
