Market Research in India for German Companies
German companies, especially in engineering, automotive, machinery, chemicals and renewable energy, often enter India through a Mittelstand-style step-by-step approach: understand the buyer first, then the dealer, then the price. ARS Market Research Services (Chennai) runs that groundwork on the ground in India.
Typical questions from German firms
- Who specifies and who approves purchases at Indian plants: engineers, purchase managers or owners?
- How do Indian buyers compare German quality against Indian and Chinese alternatives at a lower price?
- Which dealers and service partners are needed for after-sales support?
- Which industrial clusters, such as Chennai, Hosur, Coimbatore and Pune, fit our product best?
Research we run
- In-depth interviews with plant heads, purchase managers, dealers and distributors
- Competitor and pricing benchmarks
- Customer satisfaction studies for existing Indian subsidiaries
- Supplier and partner assessments
