INTRODUCTION TO CATCHMENT AREA ANALYSIS

What is Catchment Area Analysis

A catchment area refers to the geographic region from which a particular business or location draws its customers or prospects. Often likened to a “customer gravity,” it delineates the sphere of influence where the business attracts its clientele. Catchment boundaries define these geographic regions, often used in contexts such as school or government boundaries. Catchment zones, on the other hand, are used to analyze the reach and coverage of services and can be customized based on the specific analysis required. Understanding the catchment area is crucial for strategic planning in marketing, sales, and business expansion.
