Where export decisions go wrong

  • 85%

    of Vietnamese exporters are not ready for the US market

    A good product is not enough: market research, sales channels and buyer knowledge are missing.

  • 77.3%

    name market research as their biggest gap

    Who buys, at what price, how often: unknown before the first quote.

  • 76%

    lack a marketing strategy and sales channels

    New buyers come mostly from fairs and B2B platforms, at high cost and low reply rates.

The cost of exporting without market data

  • Quotes off the market level: orders lost when high, margin lost when low.
  • Fair and platform budgets spent before knowing which markets buy this code.
  • Buyers already shopping in Vietnam go to competitors who reached them first.
  • Target markets picked from news and hearsay, not from shipment records.
  • Excel files bought from Zalo groups, with no stated period.
