The most common way of identifying market segments within a country is through demographic segmentation, which categorizes consumers based on characteristics such as age, gender, income, education, and family size. Additionally, psychographic segmentation, which considers lifestyle, values, and interests, is also widely used. Geographic segmentation, focusing on location, and behavioral segmentation, based on consumer behavior and purchasing patterns, further refine these groups. Together, these methods help businesses tailor their marketing strategies to meet the specific needs of different segments.
