CLIENT CHALLENGES

  • The client required support on Mandarin-language data research for its all-metal commodities and battery teams to significantly expand its coverage in China
  • Due to language barriers and a lack of presence on the mainland, it was difficult for the client to access Chinese sources to conduct effective research
  • The client wanted to significantly reduce time invested in rigid data collection and time to market
  • The client also wanted to control costs

  • Enabled the client to keep up with latest technology developments (e.g., High nickel 955) and created c.5,000 data points in the next-generation battery sector
  • Conducted macroeconomic research on China’s mining, smelting, refining and battery sector policy and regulation in the past 12 years, and conducted a KPI analysis of key metrics/statistical benchmarks for the respective processes
