Know your target market in China

Market research is a common practice for B2C companies, but perhaps less for B2B entities. Nevertheless, we highly recommend conducting a basic market research before entering the Chinese market – or once you’ve already established your presence.

China has made it a top priority to become fully digitalized by 2030. All processes, government or private, are mostly conducted online. Online payments and the extensive use of QR codes are already being used, but this revolution is designed to eventually eliminate all paper uses from daily lives.

This transition is affecting business and consumer practices, especially with the growing presence of tech-savvy professionals. Potential candidates for job openings will look online for verified information regarding your company before applying. Potential clients, distributors and partners will do the same. Not having an online presence online might hurt your credibility.

By conducting an online market research, you can get a better picture on what is happening in your industry, who your potential competitors are, and which channels you can harness to improve your online brand awareness.

Planning your China B2B marketing strategy based on a thorough online research can support your local sales team in their endeavors, as well. Remember: even as a B2B company, you can benefit greatly from a digital presence in the Chinese market.
