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.
