Custom B2B Market Intelligence
for South America:
From Market Signals to Commercial Evidence
Econosur investigates companies, buyers, suppliers, competitors, projects, procurement structures, infrastructure and commercial assumptions across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
When public information is not enough
Public sources can show that a market is growing, a project has been announced or investment is increasing. They do not necessarily show whether that development creates a realistic opportunity for a specific company, product or supplier.
Custom research is useful when the decision depends on details behind the headline: which companies matter, who buys or specifies, how procurement is structured, which suppliers are already active, how advanced a project really is or whether an internal assumption is supported by current evidence.
Research logic: Start with the decision or assumption. Define the evidence needed to test it. The format and research depth follow from the question, not from a fixed template.
Typical B2B questions that require a custom scope
Commercial opportunity validation
Test whether an apparent market, sector or project opportunity is relevant for a specific product, capability or investment assumption.
Buyer and procurement research
Identify relevant buyers, operators, contractors, procurement structures, qualification requirements and visible purchasing signals.
Supplier and competitor mapping
Map active suppliers, distributors, competitors, local partners and other actors that shape the commercial landscape.
Project and investment pipeline research
Assess project status, timing, operators, contractors, capital commitments and the point at which commercial demand may emerge.
Supply chain and infrastructure analysis
Analyse logistics corridors, ports, energy access, local capacity, bottlenecks and infrastructure dependencies that affect execution.
Internal assumption check
Test whether internal market assumptions are supported by available evidence, local context and current company or project signals.
The format follows the question
Econosur does not force every question into the same report structure. Scope, evidence requirements and deliverables are defined according to the decision that the research needs to support.
Focused Market Check
A tightly scoped check of one commercial question or assumption using the most relevant available evidence.
Custom Market Intelligence
Custom research across companies, buyers, suppliers, competitors, projects, procurement structures or related market layers.
Strategic Research
In-depth research for complex industrial questions, multiple markets, specialist evidence needs or primary research requirements.
What needs to be clear before research starts
A useful project starts with the decision, product or assumption that needs to be tested.
- 01Commercial question: What exactly needs to be known, tested or validated?
- 02Product or capability: Which equipment, service, technology, investment thesis or supplier position is being assessed?
- 03Market scope: Country, province/state, sector, project, buyer group, supplier market or defined comparison.
- 04Relevant actors: Buyers, operators, EPCs, distributors, suppliers, competitors, public actors or other decision-makers.
- 05Evidence requirement: What level of confidence is needed, and which unknowns would materially affect the decision?
- 06Constraints: Timing, internal information, languages, budget range and whether interviews or primary research are required.
Source triangulation, company evidence and regional interpretation
Each project combines structured source review with company, project and sector evidence. Data gaps and uncertainty are documented as part of the analysis.
Official statistics, trade data, regulators, ministries, sector associations, company reports, project documents, local business media and specialized regional sources.
Claims and market signals are compared across independent source types rather than accepted from a single announcement or dataset.
Company activity, procurement signals, project milestones, contractors, supplier relationships and visible commercial behaviour are assessed where relevant.
Country-specific regulation, logistics, institutional conditions, local business structures and implementation constraints are considered.
When information is incomplete, outdated, inconsistent or not publicly verifiable, assumptions and uncertainty are stated clearly.
Interviews, local validation or partner-supported field research can be scoped separately when they materially improve the answer.
What the research can establish
The output is structured around the decision question. Deliverables vary by scope, but the emphasis is on commercially relevant evidence rather than report length.
- 01Relevant companies and actors: operators, buyers, contractors, distributors, suppliers, competitors and other decision-relevant entities.
- 02Buyer and procurement structure: who buys, specifies, qualifies or influences purchasing where this can be established.
- 03Supplier and competitor landscape: visible incumbents, local capacity, distribution structures and competitive positioning.
- 04Project status and commercial timing: milestones, investment commitments, execution stage and signals of when demand may materialise.
- 05Evidence gaps and decision implications: what is supported, what remains uncertain and what the findings mean for the next decision.
Indicative starting prices
Pricing reflects the research question, evidence required and scope — not the number of pages. Final pricing depends on data availability, research depth, country coverage and whether primary research is required.
Focused Market Check
Focused research for one clearly defined commercial question or assumption.
- Defined decision question
- Targeted evidence review
- Conclusion, uncertainties and implications
Custom Market Intelligence
Broader custom research across the companies, buyers, suppliers, competitors, projects or procurement structures relevant to the question.
- Custom research scope
- Multiple evidence layers
- Structured decision-relevant findings
Strategic Research
In-depth work for complex industrial questions, multiple markets, specialist evidence needs or higher research depth.
- Expanded company and project research
- Multi-country or multi-layer analysis where required
- Primary research can be scoped separately
Public sources are the starting point, not the final answer
Official data and institutional sources provide essential context. The research then compares them with company, project, sector and regional evidence to determine what they mean for the specific commercial question.
- 01Brazil Macro Monitor — macroeconomic and trade context used as one evidence layer.
- 02Argentine Trade Exchange — official trade context that can be compared with company and sector evidence.
- 03European Commission — policy and trade-agreement context for regional analysis.
Questions before requesting custom research
What information is needed to scope custom B2B market intelligence for South America?
A useful scope normally includes the country or countries, sector or product category, the commercial question or assumption to be tested, relevant customer or supplier groups, available internal information, timing and required research depth.
What types of questions can Econosur analyse?
Econosur can investigate commercial opportunities, buyers, procurement structures, suppliers, competitors, projects, infrastructure, logistics, value chains and internal market assumptions across South America.
How does Econosur handle different data quality across South American countries?
Econosur combines official data, trade sources, company and project evidence, sector sources, regional reporting and analytical interpretation. Data gaps, assumptions and uncertainty are documented instead of hidden.
What is included in custom market intelligence?
Depending on scope, deliverables can include relevant companies and actors, buyer or procurement structures, supplier and competitor landscapes, project status and timing, evidence gaps, constraints and decision implications.
How long does custom research take?
Timing depends on scope, country coverage, data availability, evidence requirements and whether interviews or other primary research are needed. Timing is defined after the research question has been scoped.
Which South American countries are covered?
Econosur’s core focus is Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Wider South American questions can be scoped case by case depending on the research depth, source availability and required country coverage.
Does Econosur provide primary research or interviews?
Primary research, interviews or partner-supported fieldwork can be scoped separately when they are necessary and realistic for the research question. Many projects start with structured desk research and source triangulation.
How much does custom market intelligence for South America cost?
Indicative pricing starts at USD 650 for a focused market check, USD 1,500 for custom market intelligence and USD 2,900 for in-depth strategic research. Final pricing depends on scope, evidence requirements, data availability and research depth.
How is Econosur different from general country or sector information providers?
General sources are useful for economic and sector context. Econosur focuses on narrower decision questions: which companies matter, how procurement works, which suppliers or competitors are active, what a project means for a specific product category and which assumptions remain unverified.
Start with the question you need answered
Send the commercial context, the assumption or decision that needs to be tested and the market involved. Econosur can then define the most useful research scope.
