7/2/20251 min read


Market sizing is crucial for any business strategy. It is done through three concentric circles:
TAM (Total Addressable Market): The total market demand for a product/service.
SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market): The part of TAM you can serve based on your capabilities.
SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market): The realistic market share you can capture.
This hierarchy is used for investment pitches, product strategy, and revenue forecasting.
