Germany remains a highly sophisticated, competitive and in many sectors also saturated market with many local manufacturers and suppliers as world leaders in their respective sectors. New-to-market (NTM) companies must compete with locally established and globally operating competitors in terms of quality, price, and availability. Regulatory compliance with EU and national directives as well as industry norms are mandatory. Brand recognition and a local presence are often a requirement for a successful market entry for NTM companies and investments in marketing, business development, and partner development should be considered.
