Ever feel like your SME is at the mercy of the local market? With the economy dips and changing consumer trends – these factors can leave even the most successful businesses vulnerable. But what if there was a way to spread your risk and unlock massive growth potential?
Enter exporting – a powerful strategy that turns your business into a global force. Think of your current income as a single river feeding your business. Exporting allows you to tap into new rivers – foreign markets with unique demands and opportunities.
The international currents can keep your business thriving even if your local river runs low. This diversification creates a safety net, ensuring economic fluctuations in one region that don’t sink your entire operation.
A recent study by MATRADE revealed that SMEs that export experience 20% higher revenue growth on average compared to those solely focused on the domestic market.
Ready tools and platforms are how businesses get ahead with half the time and cost. Not using them today is like shooting yourself in the foot. Leverage B2B e-marketplaces like Trade42, designed to connect SMEs with prospective buyers across the ASEAN region. By joining Trade42, local manufacturers and brand owners like you can gain access to a vast network of potential partners, offering you the chance to expand your reach and drive your business growth seamlessly. The easier and faster way to spread your wings and boost your business.
Relying solely on the local market exposes you to its specific risks. Government regulations, seasonal trends, and competitor activities can significantly impact your sales. Exporting opens doors to new markets with potentially different economic cycles and consumer preferences. This diversification spreads your risk, ensuring your business isn’t solely susceptible to local factors.
The Malaysian market, while dynamic, has its limitations. 60% of Malaysian SMEs cite economic dependence as a major concern (MECD, 2024). Exporting helps alleviate this concern by creating a more balanced and resilient business model, allowing you to tap into a larger pool of potential customers and significantly increasing your sales revenue.
Exporting might seem complex, but with platforms like Trade42 and the support of the Malaysian government’s initiatives: – the process becomes more manageable. Research these resources and partner with experienced export agencies to streamline the process and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the global arena.
