Market Share
Market share is a company’s sales as a percentage of total sales in its industry. A high share can bring pricing power and scale advantages, but also more scrutiny from regulators.
Why It Matters
Market share tells you who is winning an industry, but not whether the industry itself is profitable.
In India
IndiGo carries about 64% of India’s domestic air passengers, which is why its December 2025 cancellations disrupted travel nationwide.
