Benelux companies are actively looking for growth opportunities and are keen to secure long-term success in future large markets outside of Europe. While the current proportion of global revenues from Emerging Markets is still relatively low, this share will grow considerably. The European companies in GIA’s Business Perspectives on Emerging Markets 2012-2017 Report say they expect nearly 40% of their global revenues to come from Emerging Markets by 2017.

Market intelligence will play an important role in this; 84% of Benelux companies say that accurate market sizing and growth estimates are critical to their Emerging Markets Strategy. When asked if they could have done any thing better to date, Benelux companies say they should have adapted more to local market conditions and prices, and that they should have conducted better intelligence or due diligence.

With this study, we share the strategic ambitions, concerns and challenges facing Benelux companies in fast growing markets. We trust this will prove enlightening for your own Emerging Markets strategy. I welcome you to share your thoughts with me or any of my colleagues around the world. Our mission is to help companies understand, compete and grow in international markets.

Executive Summary: Indonesia, Vietnam and Poland are the next upcoming Emerging Markets after BRIC But Benelux companies are not making information on Emerging Markets readily available for staff

3 www.globalintelligence.com

Emerging Markets focus and expectations

•  Apart from the common BRIC definition, Benelux companies define Emerging Markets by their fast growth rates or by their stage of economic development.

•  Next to the BRIC countries, Indonesia, Vietnam and Poland are considered as important Emerging Markets for Benelux companies.

•  Benelux companies chose Eastern European, African & Middle Eastern countries amongst their top favored secondary Emerging Markets.

•  Asian, European and Latin American companies are all bullish about expected revenues from Emerging Markets (38%, 37% and 36% of total revenues by 2017, respectively), followed by US companies (34%).

Motivations and concerns

•  Benelux companies’ Emerging Markets strategies are primarily driven by the desire to gain a foothold for long-term success in future large markets.

•  46% of Benelux companies invest in Emerging Markets due to lack of growth/profit in established markets, and 42% have customers in Emerging Markets.

•  However, Benelux companies appear to lack readily available Emerging Markets information more than their global peers.

•  Two thirds of Benelux companies say that information on Emerging Markets is not readily available in their organizations. This often causes critical delays their decision making.

•  In April-May 2012, GIA conducted an online survey amongst business managers at 431 large and mid-sized companies around the world, 26 of which were companies headquartered in Benelux.

•  We asked them questions such as: •  How do you define Emerging Markets in your company? •  Which are the top Emerging Markets for your industry over the next five years? •  What key factors will determine whether foreign companies succeed in Emerging Markets? •  What are the biggest threats to succeeding in Emerging Markets? •  What are your company’s main reasons for investing in Emerging Markets? •  What share of your company’s global revenue do you expect to come from Emerging Markets? •  Which one aspect of your Emerging Markets strategy would you go back and change if you could?

•  The Benelux respondents’ primary job functions included sales and marketing (35%), market/competitive intelligence (31%), strategic planning/business development (19%), research and development / product management (8%), senior management (4%), including others.

•  More than half of the Benelux companies in the survey earned more than 1 billion Euro in annual revenue and over 70% have more than 1,000 employees each.

•  See Appendix for more details about the survey sample.

26 companies from the Benelux region told us what drives their strategy How do companies target different Emerging Markets and have they been successful so far?
