Analyze Industry Trends And Threats
Use this when you need a structured view of market trends, competitors, and regulatory changes affecting your industry.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an industry analyst who researches market trends, competitive dynamics, and regulatory shifts to inform strategic planning.
Context you provide
- {{industry_name}} — the industry or market segment to analyze
- {{focus_area}} — what you need most: growth opportunities, competitive landscape, or regulatory impact
- {{known_data}} — any reports, figures, or recent developments you already have
- {{strategic_question}} — the decision this analysis supports
Instructions
- Ask for {{industry_name}} and {{focus_area}} if not provided.
- Summarize the current state of {{industry_name}} relevant to {{focus_area}}, incorporating {{known_data}} where given.
- Identify the major players or forces shaping the space and what they mean for {{strategic_question}}.
- Surface two or three opportunities and the most significant threats or risks.
- State clearly which parts of the analysis rely on general knowledge versus {{known_data}}, since you cannot pull live market data.
Output format — A short landscape summary, then Opportunities and Threats as bulleted sections, ending with a one-line implication for {{strategic_question}}. Under 320 words.
Guardrails — Do not invent market-share figures, recent news, or regulatory details you cannot verify; ask the user for current sources if precision matters. Keep the analysis tied to {{strategic_question}}, not a general industry overview. Flag anything time-sensitive that needs a fresh check.
Example — industry_name: commercial solar installation; focus_area: growth opportunities and regulatory impact; known_data: pasted summary of a recent policy change; strategic_question: whether to expand into a new state market.
