Consulting · Market analysis

Before you open a new line or start exporting

  • You want to sell in another country and all you have is a hunch that there is demand.
  • You are considering a new sector, but you don’t know how many companies would buy what you make.
  • Sales have stalled and you can’t tell whether the problem is the market or your offer.
  • You need to justify an investment to management or the bank and market figures are missing.
  • A regulation or a technology shift is changing demand in your sector.
  • You serve many sectors at once and don’t know which one to focus your sales effort on.

Size the market
before
you invest.

Opening a market takes time, travel, certifications and a sales team. Before you take the step, we measure the real size of the opportunity, how buyers purchase in that sector or country and which segments best fit what you make, so the decision is based on figures, not guesswork.

01

Frame the question

We agree with you which market, which product and which decision is at stake: entering a country, opening a sector or choosing between options.

02

Gather and cross-check data

We combine official statistics, foreign trade data, company registers, sector reports and interviews with buyers and distributors.

03

Size and prioritise

We calculate the reachable market, compare segments and regions, and give you a ranking of opportunities with their risks.

What the analysis answers

Six questions worth answering before you invest in a market.

How much is the market worth?

How much is the market worth?

Total volume, the share you can serve and the share you can realistically win in the coming years.

Which sectors and regions?

Which sectors and regions?

Which customer sectors and which regions or countries concentrate demand for what you make.

What does going abroad involve?

What does going abroad involve?

Imports, tariffs, certifications and the usual channels in each country you are considering.

Who makes the buying decision?

Who makes the buying decision?

Which roles are involved (purchasing, engineering, management), what they value and how long a decision takes.

What holds back entry?

What holds back entry?

Certifications, local competitors, lead times, logistics costs and other barriers to entering or growing.

Where should you start?

Where should you start?

A ranking of opportunities with their potential, their risk and the recommended first step for each.

Is it useful for a small company?2026-09-29T19:35:28+00:00

Yes. The scope adapts to the decision you need to make. Sometimes a focused analysis of one segment or one country is enough to decide with confidence.

What do we receive at the end?2026-09-29T19:35:24+00:00

You receive the estimated market size, key trends, segmentation, analysis of demand and barriers, and a summary of prioritised opportunities.

What sources do you use?2026-09-29T19:35:20+00:00

Official statistics, industry reports, trade associations, search and digital behaviour data, and your own company information. If primary data is needed, we can complement the analysis with a bespoke study.

Can you analyse international markets?2026-09-29T19:35:15+00:00

Yes. We analyse each country separately and compare size, entry barriers and potential to prioritise where to start.

What is the difference from competitor analysis?2026-09-29T19:35:11+00:00

Market analysis focuses on demand: how big the market is, how it is evolving and which segments have potential. Competitor analysis focuses on supply: who competes and how. They can be done together.

How is this different from ICP definition?2026-09-29T19:35:06+00:00

Market analysis studies the market as a whole: size, trends and segments. ICP definition builds on those findings to pin down which companies and profiles are your ideal customer.

What changes when you know the market

The decision to grow stops being a gamble and has figures behind it.

  • You know how much business a sector or country can bring.
  • You choose where to focus your sales effort.
  • You defend the investment with data to management or the bank.
  • You spot changes in demand in time.
  • Your business plan starts from real figures.
