  -> Not in this rather common idiom. Search "grip on its niche" and "grip on their niche" to see a couple of dozen examples in various contexts, add a wild card * before "niche" to see more.

Revision:
is well positioned within its market niche.

It could be "niche market" depending on the context. Here is text from a magazine: "Contrary to most reports in mainstream media, publications like ours remain viable, due to the niche market we exist in."

neutral  Rachel Douglas: Be careful, because "niche market" and "market niche" are not the same thing.
15 mins
  -> Rachel, thank you for your comment. Based on the little context, it's probably "market niche."
agree  LilianNekipelov: Yes, but it should be "market niche". Otherwise, it sounds good.
