    In my opinion a niche can be categorized as market in laymen’s terms, however it is not just classified as a market but a more specific and smaller section of of a particular market that is highly popular and in demand. For example Basketball is a Market. Basketball shoes can be considered a subcategory. And Basketball shoe laces “could” be considered a niche. Of course this is just an example and there may be better ones out there, but this is the first that comes into mind. Of course there are many other factors to consider as well, such as supply, demand, competition etc…

    Anyway hope that helps.

    a niche is a market within a big market.

    you can make this analogy:

    market is a category
    a niche is a subcategory.

    Hi there,

    Most of them have explained it correctly. Niche Marketing can refer to both marketing and business choice. In and of itself, niche marketing refers to finding a segment of the general market for a service or product line. One then develops a solution for the needs of that segment and then markets to it to get the word out. Let’s take a look at an example using one of the biggest companies in the world.

    Niche means A position particularly well suited to the person who occupies it. For example if your website is automotive releted than automotive your right niche.

    A niche is a vertical market. For example in software if you sell a utility it has a wide audience. If you sell educational software for K-2 the market is much smaller - it is a niche.
