Market Intelligence & Research
Research from BCC tells us that, what can make the difference between success and failure for a business when trading internationally is:
- Finding a trusted local business partner/ agent/ distributor
- Understanding the market opportunities and business environment
- Accessing relevant trade shows and participating in effective trade missions
Market Intelligence comes in all forms from understanding the customs and cultures of the country to knowing the price your products will sell in a specific market. Market intelligence is based around understanding the various markets and your customers along with product and competitor intelligence.
