In 2012, an important new milestone will be reached when emerging-markets import more goods and services than the rich economies combined. German exports to China nearly doubled between 2008 and 2011.

In many European countries, the top 50 companies today make less than half of their revenues in Europe while a rapidly increasing portion comes from emerging markets.

Companies need to monitor these rapidly growing economies to assist in the planning and implementation of their market strategies. To enter the right new markets at the right time and develop their existing operations in high growth markets, they need to be up to date on the latest market growth forecasts, labor market developments, competitor movements, industry consolidation and regulatory changes. They also want to keep track of existing suppliers’ reputation and activities in the market and be aware of alternate sources of supply.

In GIA’s webinar, Monitoring Emerging Markets, we highlight how the growth of emerging markets is driving an enormous change in business for most companies. We look at how winning companies are proactively monitoring growth markets to identify opportunities and risks. The right mix of online information sources, on-the-ground primary research and MI software tools can help companies capture and internally share market knowledge to continuously make the most of opportunities in high growth markets.
