The question is &#8211; which country offers more of the latter? <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you opt for <strong>developed markets<\/strong> like the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom (up until Brexit, that is), any of the Eurozone countries &#8211; markets that offer stable conditions, as well as low political and security risks? <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or should you aim for emerging or developing markets, such as Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or North Africa with a rapidly growing middle class, but significant geopolitical and socioeconomic risks? <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a common misconception that to succeed in export, businesses have to aim for English-speaking markets with a high population. Such markets, however, are very likely to have strong domestic production and intense competition from other countries, too. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of such examples is <strong>Germany<\/strong>. This European manufacturing powerhouse is a world leader in technology, engineering, and innovation, boasting the 4th largest economy in the world with the nominal GDP predicted to reach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focus-economics.com\/blog\/the-largest-economies-in-the-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$4.2 trillion<\/a> in 2019. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tempting as it might be to attempt to penetrate the German market, it would also be extremely difficult. First of all, their own manufacturing is immense. But what&#8217;s more &#8211; it&#8217;s an attractive market not only for all of the other European countries but an appealing target for the rest of the world as well. This means &#8211; fierce international competition.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of wasting your time and finances in the larger countries, look for alternatives in smaller markets. Our rule of thumb is &#8211; <strong>the smaller the country, the more interested it is in importing <\/strong>your goods and the greater opportunities for export for your business. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of such smaller, yet import-savvy countries is <strong>Iceland<\/strong>. It might be a small state of a little over 330 thousand inhabitants. However, it&#8217;s also an educated and technologically advanced society with high appreciation for quality products and services. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Iceland is not a part of the EU, there are no major challenges to doing business, as the country is a part of the European Economic Area (EEA) with a generally free movement of goods and widely uses English as the business language. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s the thing &#8211; in relatively smaller markets, like Iceland, the domestic manufacturing is not as developed as in the larger markets. This means there will be <strong>high purchasing power<\/strong> and plenty of opportunities for all competitors alike. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is &#8211; <strong>don&#8217;t underestimate the small markets<\/strong>, as they might provide you with more export opportunities. At the same time, keep in mind that entering a new market is a challenging process regardless of the market size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your company is aiming for international growth and needs market intelligence advice, don&#8217;t hesitate to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/gatewaypartners.eu\/pl\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\">reach out to us<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most important steps when taking your business to the global stage is choosing the right export market.
