Market development involves introducing existing products into new markets, such as different geographic regions or customer segments. Product development focuses on creating new products or improving existing ones for sale in the company's current markets.

A well-defined expansion strategy is crucial for sustainable growth and requires thorough market research, risk assessment, and careful planning for implementation and resource allocation. Successful expansion can lead to increased revenue, market share, brand recognition, and economies of scale.
