There are several ways to evaluate the export potential of your products and services in overseas markets. The most common approach is to examine the success of your products domestically. If your company succeeds at selling in the UK market, there is a good chance that it will also be successful in markets abroad, at least in those where similar needs and conditions exist.
Another means to assess your company's potential in exporting is by examining the unique or important features of your product. If those features are hard to duplicate abroad, then it is likely that you will be successful overseas. A unique product may have little competition and demand for it may be quite high.
Finally, your product may have export potential even if there are declining sales in the UK market. Sizeable export markets may still exist, especially if the product once did well in the UK but is now losing market share to more technically advanced products. Other countries may not need state-of-the-art technology and/or may be unable to afford the most sophisticated and expensive products.
