Market Research

Market research is a very important part of any business that wants to offer products or services that are focused and well targeted. Business decisions that are based on good intelligence and good market research can minimize risk and pay dividends. Market research can help shape a new product or service, identify the need, and ensure that the development of a product is highly centered towards demand. It can create benchmarks and helps entrepreneurs measure the progress. Sometimes, findings of appropriate research can help to communicate better.

The high dependence of the entire export basket on a few labor-based manufacturing sectors fetches the necessity to diversify the basket with new products for new destinations.
