How do you handle international competition analysis?

Start by defining scope: which products, countries, time frame, and business goals. Gather competitors: list global, regional, and strong local players in each target market. Use concrete sources: company filings, trade data (UN Comtrade), market reports, SimilarWeb/App Annie, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, local news, customer reviews, pricing sites, and job postings. Translate or hire native help to capture local nuance.

Analyze consistently across markets: product/features, pricing, distribution, partnerships, marketing channels, regulatory constraints, supply chain risks, and unit economics. Create a simple benchmark spreadsheet and score competitors on the same criteria. Map barriers to entry, white-space opportunities, and likely responses to your moves. Validate key assumptions with 5–10 customer or partner interviews per market and one local expert call.

Deliver a prioritized action plan: target market(s), required product localization, go-to-market channels, expected costs, and quick-win experiments. Set KPIs and build a monthly monitoring dashboard for competitor signals.
