Case Study
Healthcare Product Manufacturer Expansion to Southeast Asia
【Background】
A healthcare product manufacturer was considering expanding into Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines as part of its business expansion strategy. Although the manufacturing was overseas, they lacked experience in foreign sales.
【Approach】
They originally wanted to do market research only. However, after hearing about their current situation and future goals, we proposed a more effective solution.
- Desk research to investigate the market for related products
- Questionnaires targeted a wide range of users
- Depth interviews with test users selected from the target customer group
- Price sensitivity survey
- Regulatory research
- Strategy development based on the above
We simultaneously carried out project design and management, questionnaire implementation, acquisition of test users and on-site depth interviews and price sensitivity survey, desk research, and regulatory research, then formulated a strategy.
【Outcome】
Based on extensive and practical information, we selected the most suitable country for expansion from among Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, and formulated a strategy for expansion. By simultaneously conducting market research (desk research, questionnaires, in-depth interviews) and regulatory research, we were able to formulate a highly accurate strategy.
