What market research tools can help inform an expansion strategy?

A variety of tools can inform your expansion strategy. Market intelligence databases provide data on industry size, growth, and trends. Tools like Google Trends or social listening platforms show customer interest and emerging topics. Professional networks like LinkedIn can help identify potential customers or partners in a new region. Companies also use competitive intelligence tools and economic data sources (for metrics like GDP or ease of doing business).
