Market Research

A well-designed and focused market research exercise can help you prepare a solid foundation for your strategy and planning. Depending on the type of market insights you aim to obtain, we would combine secondary (desktop) research with some primary research (interview-based) to deliver you the important data and analysis for your decision-making. Our market research is tailored to your needs and our methodology typically involves:

Market Overview Desk Research

With specific objectives and key questions, we will carry out a desk research to gather useful data, verify information from a variety of internal and external sources, and provide credible background insights to help you understand the market landscape and competition while identifying the potential business opportunities and any gaps in knowledge.

Primary Research

Interview-based research is the best way to obtain first- hand information, specific and reliable data, personal knowledge and expert insights, which are not available from the desk research into published sources. Our experienced research team will carry out face-to-face or telephone interviews using highly customised questionnaires.

Focus Groups

Our focus group approach is designed to identify Chinese customers’ experience and knowledge about a particular product, service, or solution of yours, and is an alternative to obtaining information from traditional customer surveys. We utilise a qualitative data collection method, while the participants are able to interact and feedback with actionable insights on specific topics.

China Entry Strategy

Depending on your industry, stage of business, and based on market knowledge available to you , your China entry  strategy could be direct exporting, licensing, joint venture, franchising, or setting up a subsidiary. It is  also critical to invest into  understanding the local regulatory environment prior to making any decision to  enter the Chinese market.

An important part of creating a China entry strategy is to highlight the strengths and challenges your  business will face in China before suggesting the best entry model to market. Our team of industry  experts will help you with strategic planning and provide you practical recommendations integrated into your  China plan.
