China not only boasts the world’s largest consumer market, but its rapidly growing economy and expanding middle class also provide strong purchasing power. Additionally, the digital maturity and widespread use of social media in China offer innovative marketing channels for brands. Policy support and supply chain advantages further lower the entry barriers, accelerating the localization process for brands. However, brands must also adapt to the unique needs and preferences of Chinese consumers and face intense market competition.

There’s no doubt that expanding internationally and adapting so many aspects of your business, such as customer support or product development, can feel daunting. This is where thorough market research, including consumer surveys, focus groups and observation, plays a key role. For example, certain images and symbols can have different meanings in different countries, and failing to research this may negatively impact sales. Conducting market research in advance not only allows you to understand cultural habits and ensure that your product acknowledges these, but you can also develop ideas tailored to your audience, such as seasonal packaging, to build a more personal connection with them. #Globalization #Localization #Translation #GoingGlobal #GlobalMarketing
