Market research

Tailored market research reports offer companies a crucial business edge in the export market. By using this UK Government service, companies in the HIE Network area will receive reliable research data exactly suited to their needs.

Deploying the UK’s overseas network of over two hundred Embassies and Consulates, tailored market research is a valuable information-gathering tool which includes:

  • Relevant market information
  • An assessment of market prospects
  • Individually checked lists of trade contacts
  • Tariff information
  • Comprehensive background, political and economic data

Ranging in cost from £50 to over £1,000, depending on the number of research hours involved, tailored market research reports, in some cases, attract funding. Those costing £600 or more can be refunded by up to 50 per cent, provided the export market involved is visited within six months of receiving the report.
