Frequently asked questions about market entry strategies

Here we answer some common questions asked by our clients about developing a market entry strategy:

A market entry strategy defines the way a company wants to enter a new market. The most common market entry strategies are access via a company's own resources (e.g., founding its own company), exporting out of the existing national company, joint ventures/shareholdings (cooperation with an often local partner), or purchasing a start-up or already established supplier in the market (M&A).

In order to determine the most suitable market entry strategy, a Market entry analysis market entry analysis is carried out. The market entry analysis is used for a robust assessment of strengths, weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats of the own company in the target market(SWOT analysis) and can also be used to identify potential cooperation partners or M&A targets.

The basis of a successful market entry strategy is a thorough investigation of the relevant market using professional market research methods. As the most important market research methods, one uses both secondary sources (e.g. statistics, databases, publications of companies in the market, professional articles) and primary market research methods (e.g. expert interviews, customer surveys, panels).

Entering new markets can be done in a number of ways: Most often, companies enter new markets through internal resources, i.e., by establishing their own presence in the target market. If a company works with a partner to develop a market, it enters the market through a joint venture. If a suitable acquisition target is available in the market, market entry can also be achieved by buying a player already active in the market(M&A). A variant of this is the acquisition of minority stakes, e.g. in start-ups operating in an innovative field. A structured Market and Competitor Analysis examines which market entry strategy is most suitable and which partners or acquisition targets are available in the target market.

A systematic market entry strategy is based on a solid understanding of market potential (market size, market segments, market growth), the competitive situation (market players, start-ups, M&A potential), customer requirements (key target customers/customer groups and their requirements, sales channels), and trends and regulations (e.g., legal requirements, technological trends) in the target market. On the basis of this information, a reliable decision can be made as to whether development with the company's own resources, a partnership or an M&A strategy will provide the most efficient market access.

A sound market entry strategy is based on multiple sources to obtain a balanced and up-to-date picture of opportunities and risks. For example, we use specialized international company databases, industrial trade press databases and international annual report databases . Of course, publicly available information is also evaluated in our market entry analyses, but this has to be carefully checked with regard to its resilience and reliability. In addition, we also frequentlyrely on expert interviews with market experts and decision-makers in the industry in order to obtain a neutral assessment of the ideal market entry strategy.

The costs for the development of a reliable market entry strategy depend on the investigated target market, the regionality of the investigation and the required detailed information. Typical budgets range between 10 and 50 thousand euros, and a timeframe of approx. 4-12 weeks should be planned for the careful implementation. We would be pleased to prepare an individual offer for your market entry strategy.
