"L’analyse des positions concurrentielles entre XYZ (marque) et les autres marques identifie 3 leaders du marché qui se détachent en présence, notoriété et image. XYZ (marque) apparaît comme un challenger derrière ces 3 marques leaders, formant un groupe « homogène » avec elles et se détachant des autres acteurs du marché sur les différents **indicateurs de mesure** retenus par the MR company."

Thank you.

measurement indicator
Explanation:
That's what it often means in other fields — and I think the basic meaning is the same here, though I am unaware if there may be a specialist term in this particular field.

measurement criterion


Explanation:
In this sentence: "criteria".

www.wpp.com › Reading Room › Market Research
"In the simplest terms, the focus of market research is to produce analyses ... Their insight helps marketing researchers define disease criteria, utilize appropriate and validated measurement criteria and ensure that research inputs are aligned ..."


"In theory, giving the sales force a wider strategic role by introducing new measurement criteria means the whole company benefits. But a word of warning. Any sales measurement process is built on the foundation of key performance indicators (KPIs) and if these are not set with a great deal of thought and clarity, an implementation can easily fall down. This is an easy mistake to make, as a legion of consultants will testify. Traditionally sales measurement criteria have been very crude and have not been subject to analysis because there has been little alternative. But with the opportunity to extract more information from the customer and record it, it is worth spending time accurately defining the KPIs."

"Measurement Criteria

The analyst team defines the measurement criteria of each competitor to determine final industry rankings. The award recipient has excelled in one or more of the following criteria:

The degree of market presence (Measures the number of segments in a vertical market, in which the vendor participates). The vendor participating in the maximum number of vertical market segments is given the highest ranking.
Market share in vertical market segments (Measures the degree of penetration of individual segments in a vertical market). The vendor with the greatest market share is given the highest ranking.
Organizational effectiveness. To what extent is the organization effective in differentiating and targeting vertical markets? Does the vendor have separate marketing divisions / subsidiaries / business units for different vertical markets, and does each have distinct market characteristics? "

I believe that the term "indicateur de mesure" is being used in a specific, market research context and should be translated with the term appropriate to that field, not just with a colloquial equivalent.
