"A Competitive Landscape Analysis gives businesses a comprehensive view of their industry terrain. Without taking a moment to look around at what everyone else is doing, you're likely to miss a key opportunity, or be left behind as your competitors outpace you in their response to market demands," per a marketing agency, Build Create.

Questions and answers
Here are the steps for creating a successful competitive landscape analysis, per product management solution platform, OutCry:
"Whenever I've asked senior executives to map the positions of their company's brands and those of key rivals, we end up confused and dismayed," Richard D'Aveni, the Bakala Professor of Strategy at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, shares. To solve this problem, D'Aveni came up with a tool companies could capture competitive positions graphically to serve as the basis for strategy discussions. He calls this tool "a price-benefit positioning map."
Questions and answers
Here's what D'Aveni recommends to do to draw effective positioning maps:
To draw a meaningful map, you must specify the boundaries of the market in which you're interested. Identify the consumer needs you wish to understand. You should cast a wide net for products and services that satisfy those needs, so you aren't blindsided by fresh entrants, new technologies, or unusual offerings that take care of those needs. Next, choose the country or region you wish to study. It's best to limit the geographic scope of the analysis if customers, competitors or the way products are used differ widely across borders. Then decide if you want to track the entire market for a product or only a specific segment if you wish to explore the retail or wholesale market, and if you're going to track products or brands.
Specify the scope of your analysis of prices, D'Aveni says. You have implicitly decided whether to study retail or wholesale prices when you choose which market to focus on, but you must also consider other pricing parameters. Choose whether to compare initial prices or prices that include life cycle costs, prices with transaction costs or without them, and the prices of unbundled or bundled offers. These choices depend on the yardstick that customers use in making purchasing decisions in the market under study. Remember to be consistent about the price definition you use while gathering data, D'Aveni warns.
When the primary benefit is identified, draw a positioning map by plotting the position of every company's product (or brand) in the marketplace in accordance with its price and its level of primary benefit. Finally, you must draw the expected-price line – the line that best fits the points on the map and shows how much customers expect to pay on average to get different levels of the primary benefit.
