Market Analysis A market analysis is a thorough assessment of a market within a specific industry. This will study the dynamics of the market, such as volume and value, potential customer segments, buying patterns, competition, and other important factors. This is important as it will help the business to identify the customers’ buying habits, how large the target market, customers willingness to pay for the product, main competitors and competitors’ strengths and weaknesses. TechHive Nexus is located in Mobod, Oroquieta City, near the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines. Oroquieta City is a coastal component city in the province of Misamis Occidental and serves as the provincial capital. Its population as determined by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) 2020 Census was 72,310. This represented 11.71% of the total population of Minsamis Occidental province, or 1.44% of the overall population of the Northern Mindanao region. Oroquieta City has 47 barangays. According to the 2020 census data, barangay Mobod emerged as the most densely populated among these barangays, boasting a staggering population of 6,834 residents, which accounts for a significant 9.45% of Oroquieta City’s total population. Moreover, the prospective business primarily caters to students enrolled at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP).

The demographic data clearly reveals that the most populous program at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines is the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT). This is particularly significant as BSIT students require access to computer services for their academic pursuits. However, it’s worth noting that the other programs at the university also rely on computer resources for educational purposes, indicating a broader potential customer base for TechHive Nexus. Given this substantial demand for computer services among the student population, TechHive Nexus is poised for significant growth and success. The strategic location of the business, which is easily accessible to both the target market and prospective customers, the local residents of the barangay, further enhances its potential for expansion and profitability. Demand Analysis The proponents employed a comprehensive approach to conduct the survey for this feasibility study by conducting both physical surveys using structured questionnaires and digital surveys via Google Forms. This dual-method approach ensured the collection of all necessary data and information essential to the thorough analysis of the project’s viability and potential success. The survey conducted by the proponents among the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) provides compelling evidence of the substantial demand for the services offered by TechHive Nexus.

Additionally, a substantial proportion, around 84.7 of respondents, admitted facing challenges and frustrations when trying to access computers for academic purposes at USTP, indicating a demand for reliable and accessible computer service like TechHive Nexus to alleviate these issues. Furthermore, an overwhelming majority—approximately 91.4% of students— expressed their willingness to switch and patronize TechHive Nexus if it offered competitive pricing and better availability compared to existing options, emphasizing the importance of cost and accessibility in meeting their needs. Moreover, a staggering 93% of respondents believed that there is a high demand among USTP students for services like TechHive Nexus. This perception aligns with the overall positive sentiment towards the business, suggesting a promising future for TechHive Nexus within the USTP student community. 25,000 20,000 15,732 16,519 17,345 18,212 19,122 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Figure 6. Projected Demand The market demand forecast for the first year of operation for the proposed business stands at an impressive 15,732 potential customers. This projection is derived by calculating the monthly demand, beginning with the total student population of 1,434 enrolled at the University of Science and Technology. This number is then multiplied by the percentage share of respondents who expressed their willingness to patronize and switch to TechHive Nexus. The result is then multiplied by 12 to account for the 12 months in a year. Notably, the proponents anticipate that this demand will grow annually by 5%. This forecast indicates a positive trajectory for the proposed business. Suggesting that it will not only thrive in its initial year but also experience ongoing success in the years to come. One of the key factors driving this interest is TechHive Nexus’s extended operating hours and its diverse range of computer-related services, which have captured the attention and preference of potential clients. Supply Analysis In the realm of supply analysis, supply is defined as the willingness of individuals or businesses to offer goods and services to market. This section delves into the quantity of goods and services available, including insights into competitors’ offerings to the market. Additionally, a graph is presented to visualize the changing supply of goods and services over time. The proponents conducted inquiries with competitors situated near the location where TechHive Nexus is set to be established. According to these competitors, they cater to an average of 250 customers per week, operating six days a week throughout the month. Since they provide services year-round, accounting for 12 months in a year, the competitors can supply a total of 12,000 services annually. This calculation is derived by multiplying the average number of customers per week (250) by 4 to account for the number of weeks in a month, and finally multiplying this figure by 12 to encompass the entire year. 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 12,000 2024 12,600 2025 13,230 13,892 2026 2027 14,586 2028 Figure 7. Projected Supply The graph illustrates the anticipated supply capacity of competitors from 2023 to 2027, with a projected annual increase of 5%. The supply figures for these years are as follows: 12,000; 12,600; 13,230; 13,892; and 14,586, respectively. This upward trajectory in supply aligns with the fundamental economic principle of the Law of Demand and Supply, where an increase in demand corresponds to an increase in supply, and vice versa. In this context, the continuous 5% annual growth in supply is driven by the rising demand for the services offered by competitors. This positive correlation between demand and supply positions the proposed business for potential success, with the opportunity to secure a prominent position in the market due to its increasing sales and expanding customer base. Demand and Supply Analysis The analysis of demand and supply is essential for understanding the determination of price and quantity traded within a market and the influence of external factors on these variables. In the context of the service industry, especially a business like TechHive Nexus, it's vital to adapt these principles. 25,000 20,000 17,345 16,519 15,732 15,000 12,600 12,000 19,122 18,212 13,230 13,892 14,586 10,000 5,000 4,536 4,320 4,115 3,919 3,732 0 2024 2025 Projected Demand 2026 Projected Supply 2027 2028 Gap Figure 8: Projected Demand and Supply According to the provided graph, a noticeable gap exists between the demand and supply, signifying a clear market need for TechHive Nexus. In 2023, this gap amounts to 3,732 and is projected to increase by 5% annually over the following four years. To bridge this gap and align supply with demand, proactive measures must be taken by augmenting the quantity of services provided. The proponents have determined that TechHive Nexus should aim to offer 311 services per month. With TechHive Nexus operating 30 days per month and twelve months a year, this results in a total of 3,744 services in 2024, with annual 5% increments to keep pace with market demand. This strategic approach of yearly increments corresponds directly to the increasing market demand, enabling TechHive Nexus to effectively close the gap between supply and demand. Analysis of Competitors A competitor analysis, also known as a competitive analysis, is the process of identifying and studying rival businesses in the market to understand their marketing strategies and gain insights for comparison. This analysis enables the evaluation of TechHive Nexus' strengths and weaknesses relative to each competitor. The following table provides an overview of TechHive Nexus' competitors and their key characteristics: Competitor Type of Operating Equipment Service Days and Inventory Offered Hours Strength Weakness Zapatos One Computer Monday to 2 Printers, 2 Extended Limited Print Shop and Saturday; computers, Internet 8am to 8 3 Computers Variety Access pm Printing Photocopy Photocopier, hours, services of Potential congestion Eden Printing Merchandise Photocopy Friday; Monday to 1 Printer, 1 Convenient location, equipment, 8 am to 5 Early Early pm opening closing Digital Printing Printing Photocopy Friday; Services Photocopier Limited Monday to 2 Printers, 2 Adequate Photocopier equipment, 8 am to 5 Convenient pm location Early closing Table 2: Competitors TechHive Nexus faces direct competition from three competitors in the market.

This limitation provides TechHive Nexus with a distinct advantage. While these competitors may have some strengths, such as convenient locations and early opening hours, they face significant weaknesses, including limited equipment availability and early closing times. In terms of operating hours, Eden Merchandise and Digital Printing Services, both focused on printing and photocopying services, operate from 8 am to 5 pm. In contrast, Zapatos One Print Shop, a computer shop that also provides printing and photocopying services, extends its operating hours until 8 pm. This extended availability makes it a more attractive option for students requiring evening study sessions. Examining their equipment inventory, Eden Merchandise offers a limited selection with only one printer and one photocopier. Digital Printing Services, with a similar service focus, possesses a slightly better equipment inventory, featuring two printers and two photocopiers. In contrast, Zapatos One Printing Shop, the computer shop, boasts a more comprehensive range of services with three computers, two printers, and two photocopiers. This diversity allows them to cater to a broader spectrum of student needs. Each competitor has its strengths and weaknesses. Eden Merchandise and Digital Printing Services both benefit from convenient locations and early opening hours. However, they face limitations such as limited equipment and early closing times. Zapatos One Printing Shop distinguishes itself with extended hours and a broader array of services but may encounter congestion issues due to limited computer availability. TechHive Nexus, on the other hand, places its primary focus on offering computer and internet access to the target market. Beyond this core service, it also provides various computer-related services. This strategic emphasis on providing ample computer access and internet connectivity positions TechHive Nexus as a preferred choice for students and individuals seeking comprehensive computer services in the area. In summary, this competitor analysis provides valuable insights into the competitive landscape, enabling TechHive Nexus to understand the unique strengths and weaknesses of each rival. This understanding will inform strategic positioning within the market to effectively cater to the diverse needs of the student clientele while competing with these direct competitors. Market Segmentation Market segmentation is a strategic marketing approach aimed at identifying specific consumer groups and offering goods or services tailored to their preferences (Tarver, 2022).

Additionally, the market includes employees and staff associated with the university, constituting 3% of the total market with a total of 98 individuals. Another key segment comprises the local residents residing within a 1-kilometer radius around the shop, estimated at 1,500 individuals, contributing to 47% of the total market. Lastly, by-passers in the vicinity constitute a segment comprising 6% of the total market, with an estimated count of 200 individuals. This comprehensive market segmentation allows TechHive Nexus to tailor its strategies and offerings to meet the diverse needs and preferences of these distinct consumer groups, ensuring a more effective and targeted approach in serving its customer base. Market Share Determining the market share of an organization is essential in projecting future placement of the proposed business in the market. Market share is the percentage of a market that is willing to patronize the proposed project. This is an important factor that proponents should consider to determine if the proposed business is feasible. The table below shows the solution for the target market share. Moreover, formula used in computing the market share is: FORMULA: Service Estimated No. of Services Catered Annually Total No. of Services Catered Annually Services Offered Business = 100% Estimated No. of Estimated Market No. of Months of No. of Share Services Operation Services Catered in a Year Catered per Annually Month Zapatos One Print Shop Computer 500 12 6,000 6,000/15,732 and = Internet 100% = 38% Access 0.38 x Printing Photocopy Digital Printing Printing Photocopy 350 12 4,200 4,200/15,732 = 0.27 x 100% = 27% Services Eden Printing Merchandise Photocopy 150 12 1,800 1,800/15,732 = 0.11 x 100% = 11% TechHive Nexus Computer 311 12 3,732 6,000/15,732 and = 0.24 x Internet 100% = 24% Access Printing Photocopy Technical Support Software Installation Table 3: Estimated No. of Services Catered The table above provides a comprehensive overview of the market shares held by both competitors and TechHive Nexus in the computer services industry. The estimated number of services offered by each competitor is contingent upon their service capacity. Zapatos One Printing Shop stands out with a wide array of services and ample equipment, allowing them to cater to approximately 500 services per month. When this monthly figure is extrapolated to cover an entire year, it is projected to provide around 6,000 services annually, securing a substantial 38% market share. Digital Printing Services, meanwhile, is estimated to offer 350 services per month, translating to 4,200 services annually when considering a full year. This places Digital Printing Services at a 27% market share. In contrast, Eden Merchandise has a more limited service capacity due to constraints in equipment, providing an estimated 150 services per month. Over the course of a year, this totals 1,800 services, resulting in an 11% market share. TechHive Nexus adopts a different approach, determining its monthly service capacity based on the Gap in Demand and Supply (see Figure 3). According to the Demand and Supply Analysis, the identified gap in 2024 is 3,732 services. When divided by 12 to determine the monthly estimate, TechHive Nexus is expected to cater to approximately 311 services per month. Consequently, TechHive Nexus holds a 24% market share. This analysis underscores the competitive landscape of the industry, with each player securing a distinct share of the market based on their service capacities and strategies. It also demonstrates that TechHive Nexus, as a new entrant, has carved out a notable presence, capturing a significant portion of the market while steadily expanding its customer base.

TechHive Nexus ranks third at 24%, while Eden Merchandise holds a 17% share. Despite being a newcomer to the market, TechHive Nexus doesn't find itself at the bottom of the market share hierarchy. This can be attributed to the business's comprehensive service offerings and robust equipment infrastructure, which positions it favorably among existing competitors. However, it also doesn't claim the highest market share, as potential customers may initially exhibit some hesitancy in embracing the services offered by this emerging brand, largely due to their lack of prior experience. To address this challenge, TechHive Nexus must strategically plan and execute actions aimed at not only attracting but also retaining customers. As a new entrant, the business should prioritize the delivery of high-quality services at affordable price points, ensuring that customers have a positive and enriching experience. This customer-centric approach will play a pivotal role in gradually increasing the firm's market share and establishing a robust presence within the competitive market. Pricing Strategy In formulating its pricing strategy, TechHive Nexus adopts a dynamic approach that combines both value-based and competitive pricing strategies. Value-based pricing lies at the core of this approach, representing a method of determining prices by assessing the perceived value of a product or service from the customer's perspective. In essence, the cost of production takes a backseat, and the primary focus is on what the customer is willing to pay for the value received. TechHive Nexus stands out with its diverse array of services, encompassing Computer and Internet Access, Printing, Photocopying, Technical Support, and Software Installation. Every service has undergone meticulous pricing to ensure that the rates mirror the genuine value they offer to the customers. In addition to the value-based strategy, TechHive Nexus incorporates a competitive pricing approach. This involves continuously monitoring and adjusting prices to align with or compete effectively against the pricing strategies of direct competitors within the computer service industry. Acknowledging the intense competition in this industry, TechHive Nexus proactively keeps a finger on the pulse of competitors' pricing strategies. This vigilance empowers the business to make real-time adjustments to its own pricing, ensuring competitiveness in the market. This dual pricing strategy harmoniously integrates the provision of exceptional value to customers with the ability to remain competitive. The overarching goal is to attract and retain a loyal customer base while achieving sustainable growth and enduring success in the ever-evolving landscape of computer services. Service Pricing Pricing is a crucial process used to establish the value that a producer will receive for their goods or services. It seeks to find a price that is mutually beneficial for both the producer and the customer, taking into account factors such as supplier costs, seasonal discounts, and competitor prices to align with the product's actual and perceived worth. TechHive Nexus offers a wide range of services, including Computer and Internet Access, Printing, Photocopying, Technical Support, and Software Installation. The pricing for each service has been meticulously determined, considering consumers' perceived value and benchmarking against competitors' pricing, resulting in the following pricing structure: Services Offered Computer and Internet Access Price (₱) 15 per hour Printing - Not colored short – A4 bondpaper 3 per page - Not colored long bondpaper 4 per page - Partially colored short – A4 bondpaper 5 per page - Partially colored long bondpaper 6 per page - Short – A4 bondpaper (whole colored) 8 per page - Long bondpaper (whole colored) 10 per page Photocopy 2 per page Technical Support 500 Software Installations 500 Table 4: Prices of Services The table above outlines the pricing for each service provided by TechHive Nexus.

TechHive Nexus aspires to be a one-stop solution for students' computer-related requirements, ensuring both affordability and accessibility. These factors are expected to contribute significantly to its success in the market, solidifying its position as a trusted provider of computer services among its target audience. Distribution Flow The distribution flow of a business stands as a crucial element, outlining the journey of its products or services from production or manufacturing to the hands of the final consumers or buyers. It serves as the pathway through which value is delivered, transactions are completed, and customer satisfaction is achieved. Understanding and efficiently managing this flow are fundamental for the success and growth of any enterprise.

To mitigate the impact of competition and limited brand awareness, the business can focus on differentiation and quality, invest in marketing and promotional activities to increase brand recognition, and maintain a customer-centric approach to build trust and overcome the challenges of being a new entrant. Moreover, TechHive Nexus should stay updated with technological advancements, implement flexible pricing strategies to adapt to economic fluctuations, and continually monitor competitor pricing strategies to remain competitive within the market.

The computation for computer and internet access assumes the use of 8 computer units for a minimum of 10 hours per day at a rate of 15 pesos per hour. Multiplying these figures, the projected daily revenue is 1,200 pesos. Consequently, the estimated monthly income amounts to 36,000 pesos, calculated by multiplying the daily income by 30 to account for the number of days in a month. Conversely, the monthly revenue from printing services is projected to reach 108,000 pesos, based on an average of 100 printed pages for each paper size daily. This calculation involves multiplying the price for each type of printing by the assumed number of pages printed per day, resulting in the daily income. To determine the monthly income from printing, the daily income is then multiplied by 30 to account for the number of days in a typical month, resulting in a monthly income of 108,000 pesos from printing. The daily income for photocopying services is calculated based on an assumed average of 100 pages copied each day, at a price of 2 pesos per page. Consequently, the daily income from photocopying totals 200 pesos, while the estimated monthly income is 6,000 pesos, calculated similarly by multiplying the daily income by the number of operational days in a month. In terms of technical support services, it is assumed that only 3 services are provided by the business per month, resulting in a monthly income of 1,500 pesos. Additionally, the projection assumes 5 software installations per month, leading to a monthly income of 2,500 pesos for software installation services. 2,500,000 2,000,000 1,848,000 1,940,400 2,037,420 2,139,291 2,246,256 1,500,000 1,000,000 500,000 0 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Figure 12: Annual Projected Sales The projected sales for the first year are estimated to reach 1,848,000 pesos. This calculation is derived by multiplying the monthly income of 154,000 pesos (as detailed in Table 4) by 12 to account for the twelve months in a year. As part of the business's strategy, there is an annual sales growth projection of 5%, driven by the high demand and affordability of the services, which are strategically priced using a Value-based pricing approach. In the subsequent years, the pricing of the services is anticipated to remain constant. This assumption is made under the premise that the business will benefit from trade discounts and loyalty programs offered by its suppliers for supplies and materials. These incentives are expected to help reduce the overall expenses related to supplies and materials while maintaining a profitable margin.
