Guide to the preparation of Market Briefs

 

 

Market Briefs are concise market reports on export products of interest to developing countries. These briefs include the elements of trade information required to best approach and infiltrate a market. They give an overview of the market and contain information on market developments, trade statistics and trends, standards and regulations, prices, packaging and labelling, trade fairs as well as business contacts (importers, exporters, distributors, etc.).

 

 

 

 

Titles:  


Multiple criteria are applied for the selection of target product groups for Market Briefs, including: the quantitative importance of different market/product group pairs, based on the value of imports by emerging markets over the past five years; the qualitative opinion of ITC's product specialists on the adequacy of proposed market/product group pairs; and the relative frequency of trade information inquiries received by the Trade Inquiries module of Product Map on different product-groups.

Guide to the preparation of Market Briefs:


 

The purpose of the Guide to the preparation of Market Briefs is to provide an intermediate and functional solution to the preparation of short product-related studies that would respond to the trade information needs of export enterprises using a methodology that has been tested and validated by ITC. The methodology presented in this Guide is based on ITC's experience and incorporates the expertise of other Trade Support Institutions (TSIs), which have developed similar programmes.
