Agribusiness

"APMI Partners have been one of our market research suppliers in the Asia Pacific region since 2006. It is difficult to find market research firms who have specialists in agribusiness and APMI Partners have shown their ability in completing over a dozen projects with us involving eleven countries. We envisage continuing our relationship with APMI Partners into the future."

"The detailed approach that APMI Partners used to investigate two prospective markets in South East Asia that we sought to enter was excellent. The findings and recommendations helped us gain a thorough understanding of these markets and provided the clarity we needed in making our decision. Their staff were professional and a pleasure to deal with. We would be pleased to work with APMI Partners again and highly recommend them."

"APMI Partners were brilliant in undertaking a very complex market intelligence project across 5 countries recently. We were extremely impressed with the amount and level of detail in the information that they obtained and how clearly it was presented. Our team in each country was able to work with them in later developing our go-to-market strategy based on much of the findings. I would recommend APMI Partners for market intelligence work in Asia, especially involving business-to-business work in industrial markets."

"Last year we required market intelligence into the building materials markets in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. We approached APMI Partners as they had previously undertaken work for us in Australia. They exceeded our expectations with the amount and clarity of information provided. Following the delivery of the research findings, several of their consultants worked with us closely to assist in our planning to enter these markets."

"We have been undertaking market research with APMI Partners for the last five years. We particularly like their ability to undertake multi-country studies, simultaneously across the Asia Pacific, from the developed countries of Australia and New Zealand to the developing countries of China and Vietnam. Their knowledge of the FMCG industry in markets across the region and innovative research products and services are additional reasons why we feel confident in engaging them."

EDUCATION

"We first selected APMI Partners to conduct a market intelligence project to assist us in assessing the viability in establishing our campus in Singapore. Now, eleven years later with a successful campus we still engage APMI Partners to conduct market research and market intelligence work for us. They understand the higher education industry in the Asia Pacific better than any other firm and we would highly recommend them."

"APMI Partners were selected from a short-list of firms to undertake a market intelligence project focused on determining the most suitable distribution strategy for a range of new consumer products we were launching. We chose APMI Partners primarily because of their ability to cover all of the countries in the Asia Pacific we were interested in, in addition to their previous experience in undertaking similar projects. The project was managed very well and the results were excellent. Garmin hope to work again with APMI Partners in the future."

"We have been working with APMI Partners since 2005. During this time our various divisions have been very impressed with the work they have done for us.

"APMI Partners did a competitive intelligence project for us 12 months ago where our direct and indirect competitors were examined. The findings opened our eyes by providing information that we never thought possible to obtain. Through this project we have been able to implement strategies to address the competitive threats identified and plan to work with APMI Partners regularly to conduct similar work."

MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT

"APMI Partners are a very unique firm. We were seeking to undertake a market research project to determine how existing print newspaper subscriber rates could be maintained. Instead, APMI Partners proposed a behavioral economics study, something we had never heard of. The study and its findings were fascinating and involved many of our staff from call centre workers to senior management.  The study has given us the ability to more deeply understand our various customer segments and to better understand how to interact with them."

NOT FOR PROFIT

"We have awarded 4 projects to APMI Partners in the last 2 years and each time have been very impressed with their work. These projects typically involve conducting interviews with healthcare workers to determine the incidence of healthcare issues such as vaccination rates, or with the general population to determine the awareness of health issues such as tuberculosis. APMI Partners stand alone in their ability to train interviewers and conduct interviews in very remote areas of countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste."

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

"The APMI Partners team undertook a three-month project in two Asian countries we were considering to expand our operations in. We selected them for their proven track-record in the telecommunications industry and their in-country staff and operations in the two countries. They were extremely competent in obtaining and analyzing large amounts of market and competitor information and providing our management team with clear and concise findings that will assist us in making important future decisions. APMI Partners are a very competent, professional firm and we would recommend them for market intelligence work in the telecommunications industry."
