How we do it

Our market specialists employ quantitative and qualitative analyses informed by desk research, expert interviews, and field visits to critical points in the supply chain. We apply both manual searching and tech-enabled tools to extract metrics for products, prices, and sellers from popular e-commerce platforms. We identify and interview leading importers, distributors, retailers, industry associations, and government regulators. We conduct field visits to border ports, free-trade zones, logistics hubs, retailers, and foodservice outlets. We work with global leaders in consumer survey research to understand the habits and preferences of China’s consumers in relation to specific products.
