Morphology

competitor + analysis

The meaning is directly compositional: 'analysis' (systematic examination) of a 'competitor' (an entity that competes) yields the process of evaluating competitors. This noun–noun combination follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words can reliably infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Competitor analysis comes from the simple idea of watching a business competitor and using analysis, a close 'study', to find its strong and weak points. Imagine a coach watching a rival team to learn what to copy or avoid; that's why competitor analysis means studying 'rivals' to find opportunities and threats.
