Follow me, Alexa's traffic estimates and ranks are based on the browsing behavior of people global data panel which is a sample of all internet users.

Alexa's Traffic Ranks are based on the traffic data provided by users in Alexa's global data panel over a rolling 3 month period.
Traffic Ranks are updated daily. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews.
Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview.

Can you please explain how Alexa Rank plays vital role for Competitor analysis?

Maybe not exactly vital, but it's not a lot of tools around to analyse your competitors. What is useful with with Alexa, even if you don't have exact traffic statistic you could compare 2 sites and see which one perform better (it's more precise for sites in the same niche). And you do it for free. So it's good if you don't have huge budget (i.e. part time work, freelancing, beginner-webmaster).

I want to discuss about how the Alexa rank measured.
According to the official Alexa website's Our Data page, the rank is calculated using a 'combination' of the estimated average daily unique visitors to the site and the estimated number of pageviews on the site over the past 3 months – with the site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews being ranked as #1. The data is collected from a subset of internet users using one of 25,000 browser extensions for either Google Chrome, Firefox and/or Internet Explorer. An algorithm then 'corrects' for various potential biases and attempts to compensate for visitors who might not be in Alexa's measurement panel (a factor it historically hasn't always tried to accommodate for) and normalizes the data based on the geographical location of visitors.
