Competitive Analysis of the Vertical Construction Industry in the U.S.
Challenge
A Japanese construction equipment manufacturer sought to understand the sales and distribution networks, and pricing strategies of key competitors in the vertical construction market in the U.S. The study focused on precision instruments combined with 3D modeling software for better quality control while benchmarking other market players against architectural specifications and safety regulations.

Working with the management consulting company that represented the end client, GLG identified a Network Member to lead the project team, design the primary interview guide and survey questionnaire, review technical documents, and analyze the raw data gathered.
Additionally, GLG Research executed an online B2B customer survey sent to 105 dealers, distributors, and former industry executives. To augment the data with deeper insights, the team also conducted in-depth interviews with 11 current dealers and distributors of precision instruments with 3D modeling software.

The client was able to use GLG’s Network Member in a number of ways for this market study, from design to final analysis of raw data. After eight weeks of team effort, the client received the actionable insight needed to move forward.
