How do I obtain market research for a specific country or product?
Your local Pennsylvania Regional Export Network (REN) Partner is the best and lowest cost method of obtaining country-specific market research.

In addition, you may find resources in the Market Research Library (MRL) provided by the Department of Commerce.
