Introduction:
Market for most of the goods are heterogeneous, & not homogeneous, because buyers differ from one another in their wants, purchasing power, geographical location, buying habits & buying practices.
So, there arises a need for sub-dividing the total market for a product into a number of sub-markets or segments to capture a wide market.

Disadvantages
If all the sub-markets are not served well, the total volume of sales will be less.
It is very difficult to sell highly specialised products outside their own market segments under market segmentation.
Under market segmentation, a firm has to offer a large variety of goods.
Logistics become more complex with a greater variety of distribution channels & higher inventory requirements.
Market segmentation is a costly process.

suffers from certain drawbacks, but in
spite of these drawbacks, today the
trend in marketing is towards market
segmentation, which is becoming
popular day-by-day & is considered
necessary for successful marketing
strategy.
