What are the key elements to consider when using the BCG Growth-Share Matrix?

The key elements to consider when using the BCG Growth-Share Matrix are the relative market share and market growth rate of a company's product lines. These two factors are used to plot the product lines into four quadrants, each representing a different growth category. This helps in determining the strategic steps for each product.

Question was asked on:

This matrix visualization plots the product lines into four quadrants according to their relevant market growth rate and relative market share. Each icon on the matrix correlates to a "growth category" to determine how each product should be considered.
