What the process looks like

Desk research
We analyze the macroeconomy, the market, competitors, regulatory frameworks, and consumers using open-source and proprietary data. All work is conducted remotely by the MIM:AGENCY analytics team.

Field study (in the country)
The representative takes photos of store shelves, collects price data, and conducts structured interviews with distributors, buyers, and consumers. He gathers real-world data that is not available in Ukraine.
-
Report and Presentation
Full report: market attractiveness, competitors, price basket, regulatory roadmap, and “enter/do not enter” recommendation.
-
Operational Support
A local representative handles negotiations, registration, and distribution, and provides you with monthly reports. The minimum term is 3 months. This service can be ordered separately or in conjunction with market research.
