Market penetration is one of the four growth strategies of the Product-Market Growth Matrix as defined by Ansoff. Market penetration occurs when a company penetrates a market in which current or similar products already exist. The best way[citation needed] to achieve this is by gaining competitors' customers (part of their market share). Other ways include attracting non-users of your product or convincing current clients to use more of your product/service (by advertising etc.). Ansoff developed the Product-Market Growth Matrix to help firms recognize if there was any advantage of entering a market. The other three growth strategies in the Product-Market Growth Matrix are:

Market development (new markets, existing products): Lucozade was first marketed for sick children and then rebranded to target athletes. Diversification (new markets, new products): Mohen A.S, Bion Products, Selectron Ltd, bk
"Penetration is a measure of brand or category popularity. It is defined as the number of people who buy a specific brand or a category of goods at least once in a given period, divided by the size of the relevant market population." [1]
Methodologies
The penetration that brands and products have can be recorded by companies such as ACNielsen and TNS who offer panel measurement services to calculate this and other consumer measures. In these cases penetration is given as a percentage of a country's households who have bought that particular brand or product at least once within a defined period of
