Market segmentation is the process of dividing a broad consumer or business market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of consumers (known as segments) based on some type of shared characteristics. The goal is to identify and target specific groups of customers who are most likely to respond to particular marketing efforts, thereby enabling businesses to tailor their products, messaging, and overall strategies for maximum impact and efficiency. This approach is fundamental to modern marketing, allowing companies to move away from a "one-size-fits-all" mentality and engage with their audiences on a more personal and relevant level.
