More Information
International Trade Canada's (ITCan) Market Research Centre (TMR) produces a full range of sectoral market information products to help Canadian exporters identify foreign market opportunities. Reports contain a market overview, a section on customers and distribution channels, an analysis of the principal market-access issues, and a listing of key promotional venues. Reports also include the names of local importers and information on their size, product range and territory. TMR also produces other information products including: market briefs and country sector profiles, more concise documents intended for niche markets and/or to provide a quick snapshot of a particular sector in a given region.
Eligibility Criteria

Eligible Area
All Canadian provinces and territories.

Summary
Canadian exporters need reliable, up-to-date information on foreign markets to compete abroad. TMR's market information is critical to any business, and especially to those entering foreign market.
Benefits to Exporters
Market information helps small- and medium- sized enterprises focus on new export opportunities, complementing their own market research. Companies can minimize expending their resources exploring markets where there is no demand for their product or service.
