Our Market Entry and Growth Practice serves Fortune 1000 clients primarily based in the US and Western Europe, who aspire to grow in emerging markets or enter new markets, but lack visibility into the prevailing market conditions, competitors and distribution networks associated with these opportunities.

Our experienced team provides objective, well-researched insights regarding the opportunities and risks associated with emerging markets and their business strategy implications for clients who otherwise lack reliable, rich, contextual data upon which they can make well-informed business decisions.

Boston Analytics applies multiple research and analytical techniques in order to gather, triangulate, and analyze data. Having conducted hundreds of projects on-the-ground in emerging markets, we are well versed in the challenges and strategies associated with gathering and triangulating data in markets where very little quality data is readily available, and driving those to realistic strategies for growth. Our resourcefulness in gathering data and passion for developing logical and defensible conclusions are our core strengths.
