CHEM Research 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).

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.
