Choosing and uncrowded sector is one of the best decisions any entrepreneur could take. If competition are too much in any industry and as an entrepreneur you enter such sector it will be very hard for the entrepreneur to break even or make profit
When entering an enterprise, you must evaluate all the possibilities, the positive and negative points that you can find along the way. Either entering the competition or a sparsely populated market. The important thing is the demand, without it you will have no future. You must also take into account the quality of your products or services, no matter what exists around you, you can be successful if you propose.
It's not so easy these days to find an uncrowded niche, that is still profitable enough.
There are so many people doing the same thing, bit if you try to start something different, it might be so small people won't learn or know of it, or it may have a very small market that is not enough to make sufficient returns.
I totally disagree with your point. Uncrowded business could be beneficial or may it fail because of undemanding products you are going to sale there. So you must start a business which is demanding and work hard enough and deal with public in good manner.
Competition will always be a major challenges of business and as a good business man or woman you have to be prepared to encounter those challenges and device a means to overcome those challenges so there is almost no business which has limited investors unless it’s a non profit business
