Our Services

Business research is a significant tool for supporting entrepreneurial decisions. Market insights are necessary if you want to operate successfully in your market or intend to enter new markets. B2B market research offers many possibilities for meeting business intelligence needs.

Market analyses

COATING insights offers tailor-made solutions whether an all-encompassing market analysis or the study of selected business aspects (products, sales channel, regional view, etc.) are required. In general, the analysis is based on a comprehensive search of secondary information (desk research), followed by a thorough collection of primary information through expert interviews. The results of secondary and primary research are carefully evaluated and validated to develop quantitative and qualitative information and to elaborate market projections (forecasts).

We offer both exclusive single-client market investigations and multi-client market studies.

Company profiles

The accurate profile of a supplier, competitor, customer, distributor, or acquisition candidate is a key instrument for making strategic decisions. CHEM Research prepares customized company profiles in the subject industries that are tailored to the client’s needs. Company portfolio, financial information, announcements or site information are appraised and supplemented by CHEM Research expertise to match the client’s business intelligence requirements. We create company profiles as a one-off analysis or in the form of ongoing monitoring.

Customer and consumer behaviour

Understanding the needs and the purchasing behaviour of target customers is a key to business success. The “Customer Journey” tool defines the customer’s journey from the emergence of the need over to the supplier evaluation and purchase decision to the final evaluation of the purchase. This enables the identification of relevant “touch points” and facilitates competitive differentiation based upon a company’s own strengths.

Key-Note Speeches / Editorial Support
