No Standard 10% threshold in BCG Matrix
No this is wrong, there is no 10% limit / dividing line / threshold in the BCG matrix. This horizontal line in the diagram is drawn based on the average market growth. So if the brand is growing faster than the market, then it will be in star or question mark category, otherwise it will be under the line in the cash cow or dog section.
