Market analysis and access

SKA supports businesses to access local, national, international and special markets.

Market access is achieved through research and building the capacity of employees within the business to develop marketing and sales strategies tailored to the specific opportunities presented by target markets. We engage the client business to research analyse market demands, market segments, distribution channels and market requirements to inform these strategies.
