Jan 31, 2019

New and emerging markets open up numerous opportunities and have limitless potential for growth. However, when to take a closer look at the annals of business history, it shows that for every successful market entry, about four fail. Interestingly, it is not just inexperienced startups that face the heat from new markets while implementing their market entry strategies, several sophisticated corporations also face the same fate. Industrial strategists at Infiniti Research agree that successful market entry strategies depend largely on factors including timing, scale relative to the competition, and the ability to leverage complementary assets. Moreover, it is vital to undertake detailed analysis and market research before entering a foreign market.

In our experience, the combination of a robust outside view and an improved inside one dramatically raises the odds of making good market entry decisions.

Understand culture and language

Although cultural nuances may seem insignificant during the planning stages it is essential to properly prepare to meet the needs of the local market.

Review local laws, regulations and bureaucracy

There are chances of landing into a lawsuit if companies do not undertake a thorough understanding of the new market’s laws and regulations while planning their strategies.

Not doing so can not only tarnish the brand name if caught in a legal offense but can also cause a hefty loss of money for the company.
