Market Research

Market research is an essential part of your business to determine which products or services benefit which target markets. Its importance triples or even quadruples if you have to decide which foreign market your company should pursue to increase its export sales and revenues.

The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia is proud to assist its members and clients by providing tailored market research, ranging from introductory country reports to complete country-specific industry studies. Depending on the market research you choose, it can contain the following valuable information that will help you explore new opportunities and grow internationally:

• Answers to your international business questions through our global network of World Trade Centers, access to overseas state and federal representatives, and proprietary databases and web sites;
• Foreign market information, including market size and trends and inherent cultural and other barriers that need to be addressed to support international trade;
• Export partner information, listing potential distributors and agents as well as information on how to approach and evaluate them.

When you join as a Small Business, Corporate or Ambassador member, you will be entitled for a free introductory country study with an overview of the industry of your choice. Our international trade specialists will help you identify the foreign markets with the highest potential for your products and services and plan an entry strategy that will lead to success.
