About the framework

What is the Ansoff Matrix?

The Ansoff Matrix — also called the Product/Market Growth Matrix — is a strategic planning framework developed by mathematician and business strategist Igor Ansoff in 1957. It helps organizations evaluate growth options by plotting strategies across two axes: products (existing vs. new) and markets (existing vs. new).

The result is four distinct growth strategies, each carrying a different level of risk and resource requirement.

The four quadrants

  • Market Penetration — sell more of an existing product in an existing market (lowest risk)
  • Market Development — take an existing product into a new market or segment
  • Product Development — create a new product for an existing market
  • Diversification — enter a new market with a new product (highest risk)

The matrix is widely used in annual strategy planning, investor presentations, and competitive positioning discussions. It forces teams to be explicit about where growth will come from and what trade-offs each path involves.

MyMap's AI generates a complete, actionable Ansoff Matrix for your business — populated with specific strategic options in each quadrant — from a single plain-language description of your product and growth goals.
