Common organic ways of developing new growth opportunities typically involves finding new customers in existing markets, developing new products and services, and/or penetrating new markets. Although all are challenging, penetrating new markets is often the most difficult as it involves a multitude of unknowns across the market, application, product requirement and competitive landscape.
