how do i find the approximate annual growth rate for my market?

Question by minty: how do i find the approximate annual growth rate for my market?
I am doing research on starting a business. I plan to have 2 local markets; in my city and a very close and neighboring metropolitan; Austin, Tx.
My business has to do with the wedding industry, but a certain “niche” of the wedding industry. I can also see my business doing well selling online. as there are few that do this service and the ones I have found online do very well. How do I approximate the annual growth rate for my market if it includes four different variables: 2 different cities, internet customers, and my niche?

help please!

try Bizstats.com

I doubt you will find anything specific by city – the numbers of businesses in one area too small to be meaningful

what you need to do is determine is there is already too many competitors for you to be successful

What website concept is “missing” or under-represented on the www? What would you like to see “come on line?”

I am curious if anyone has given enough thought to what internet “niche” has (or may have) demand but lacks good quality sites. Your careful consideration would be appreciated.
Guess I either stumped everyone or they’re keeping the best idea to themselves. :-)

That is the beauty of the Internet. There is no niche at all as it is always evolving, growing, developing. From what was just a simple web site, to huge sites, forums, social media and so much more. So as far as a niche….can not think of one….and thank goodness for that:-)
