Market Potential Estimation Methodology
Overview
This study covers the outlook for products and services in Coloane. Estimates reported are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for Coloane across hundreds of categories (in millions of U.S. dollars) and of the region and of the globe.

The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extra
