How to read the numbers

Keep reported values separate from projections

This guide supports market research. It does not replace commercial validation, buyer conversations, or product-level due diligence.

Addressable opportunity

A calculated screening indicator based on buyer demand and exporter position. It is not a reported order value, sales forecast, or guarantee of market entry.

Market share and gap

Share describes the exporter's position in the reported buyer market. The gap indicates room relative to the peer benchmark in the available data.

Screening and coverage

Opportunities shown here exceed $50.0K in latest buyer imports and have at least 3 observed trade years.
