The Product-Market Growth Matrix or Ansoff Matrix is a strategic planning tool developed in 1957 by Igor Ansoff to help firms recognize if there was any advantage to entering a market. [1]
The four growth strategies in the Product-Market Growth Matrix are:
- market penetration (existing markets, existing products)
- product development (existing markets, new products)
- market development (new markets, existing products)
- diversification (new markets, new products)
