The BCG Matrix, created in 1968 by Boston Consulting Group founder, Bruce Henderson, is a framework that helps to assess the value of investments in portfolio management. So, this BCG Matrix Excel Template includes four quadrants which are Stars, Question Marks, Cash Cow, and Poor Dog.

Basically, each of these quadrants represents a different analysis of market growth rate and relative market share.

In particular, this tool helps to understand which products the company should invest in, and which ones should be divested.

BCG Matrix Excel Template Features:

Firstly, list down all the products that you wanted to show on the matrix. Moreover, if you enter the brand’s market share and the largest competitor’s market share then it calculates the Relative Market Share column automatically.

  4. Peter S.

    That is an excellent solution based on Excel. It is nearly as good as the online tool fancy bcg matrix, which I slightly prefer since it is a bit cheaper and somewhat I have an Excel phobia :-).

  5. Charlie

    I have download the template and have been using it for a while. I was searching this bcg matrix for my project. But, most of them just show the matrix for making a comment about the position of the brand, I mean only the graph on the right. But, this tool also provides me a numerical table to play with numbers to see the results. I purchased to modifiable to enlarge the scale of the graphs. It is useful and visually satisfying. Thanks guys!

    Visually greatttt. I am not a professional Excel user but I easily figured out how I can use this spreadsheet. Thanks for the product video suggestion.

    As a former BCG employee, I find it does not capture the richness of the BCG framework. E.g.: the horizontal scale is linear (i.e. an RMS of 0.5 is distant from 1 as 1.5 from 2) while it should be a log, comparing directly the ratios. Guess bubbles have the same distortion…

    • Someka

      Hi Pietro,
      First of all, thanks a lot for your valuable comments! We will direct your comments to our developer team. If this is necessary to update the template, we will do it asap.
      Thanks again!
      Regards,

    Everything is really good. Thanks, guys.
    But There have problem if the Market growth are over 10% they not showed in the BCG matrix chart
    How can I make it show on it?

    • Someka

      Hi Bit,
      Thanks a lot for your time to spent writing a comment on our templates.

      While we are creating the BCG Matrix template, we tried to create an optimized chart. Otherwise, there is not a limit to enlarging the chart to being enough to show.
      With the modifiable version of the template, you can rearrange the limit of both horizontal and vertical axis. In that way, you will be able to show larger Market Growths on the matrix.

      If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact us anytime!

      Regards,
