Adjacent Segment Strategy:
When a single segment focus has reached the point of full market penetration and after a single-market segment successful, the marketer opts for adjacent marketing strategy, a closely related segment is tackled next. Suzuki entered the Indian market with the Maruti 800 at the low-price end of the market (presently Alto serves this segment).
As Maruti penetrated this segment, it moved to an adjacent segment in terms of price and quality by adding Maruti Zen. Next was entry into a large car segment with Maruti Esteem. Over the last 25 years, Suzuki effectively used an adjacent segment strategy and is a market leader in each segment.
