{KN}A business would want to increase its market share because it helps to strengthen its competitive position and improve profitability within the industry.
{APP}For example, if Pepsi Pakistan increases its market share against Coca-Cola by launching new flavours or promotions, it means a larger proportion of total soft drink sales now belong to Pepsi.A higher market share can give a business greater brand recognition and customer loyalty, making it harder for competitors to take away customers.
{AN}It can also lead to economies of scale as production increases, average costs fall, allowing the business to earn higher profits or offer lower prices to attract even more customers.

KN: increase in the market share is the percentage of total sales in the industry made by one business increasing it means that the business is expanding and capturing a larger portion of the market.
APP: For example coca-cola aims to increase its market share in the soft drink industry in order to stay ahead of it's competitor Pepsi.
AN: A stronger market share means that the brand has a stronger customer loyalty as more consumers prefer the brand over its competitor, is can also lead to economies of scale since producing and selling more allows the business to reduce per cist of the product, additionally a dominant market position allows the business to have more power over pricing and suppliers which allows the business to improve long term profits

(KN) Businesses may want to increase market share to strengthen their position against competitors.
(APP) For example, a new, small grocery store may want to increase their market share by setting lower prices, attracting a loyal consumer base and then take over a competitor. This would lead to the grocery store becoming prominent in the market with a larger market share.
(AN) Once customers are loyal and a large market share has been captured, businesses have a huge competitive edge over the market and charge higher prices since it now has a better brand image and the higher prices may give a premium products feeling to customers.
