Ceresana prepares tailored market and competitive analyses for specific business, investment, funding and commercialisation questions. Our studies help you assess market opportunities realistically, identify risks early and support business cases, market entry, product development or exploitation strategies with reliable data.
We analyse market potential, target segments, competitors, prices, value chains, trends and forecasts – tailored to your products, technologies, applications and regions. This creates an independent decision basis for strategy, go-to-market, financing, technology transfer, M&A or funded projects.
Commercial due diligence, market validation and business-plan review for investment, valuation, acquisition and exit decisions.
Market intelligence for strategy, product development, financing, technology transfer, market entry, go-to-market and scaling.
Market logic, impact, exploitation, dissemination and market uptake for CBE JU, Horizon Europe and other funded projects.
Ceresana supports you from the initial market question to a reliable decision basis – with tailored analysis modules, suitable methodology and directly usable results.
Typical analysis areas:
Internal research, AI searches and publicly available sources often provide valuable individual inputs, but rarely a reliable overall picture. Ceresana combines data, market models, industry expertise and expert assessments into a structured, independent decision basis.
This helps avoid false precision, contradictory sources and strategic decisions based on incomplete assumptions.
For companies, start-ups, research organisations and technology transfer.
Commercial due diligence and independent market validation.
Funded projects, impact, exploitation and market uptake.
Focus on your products, technologies, markets, target groups, regions and success criteria.
Sound answers for market entry, product development, investment, financing, funding, M&A, technology transfer or commercialisation.
Validation of internal assumptions, realistic assessment of market opportunities and early visibility of risks.
Decisions based on data, scenarios and transparent market assumptions.
Structured external market intelligence for management, strategy, business development, product management and R&D.

Ceresana supports you with independent market intelligence – tailored to your specific decision situation.
Every custom study starts with a specific decision situation: a new market, an investment, a product idea, a technology, a funded project or a strategic growth question. Ceresana develops a suitable study design with a clear methodology, defined scope and directly usable results.
Ceresana supports you with questions such as:
Analysis of market size, growth, demand, applications, regions, segments, trends and future scenarios.
Assessment of relevant suppliers, market positions, substitutes, market-entry barriers, differentiation factors and competitive dynamics.

Upon request, we explain the results in a joint meeting and discuss conclusions, risks and possible next steps.
Depending on your objective, you receive the results in one or more formats:
A custom study provides more than data. It creates a reliable decision basis. It helps assess market opportunities, validate assumptions, make risks visible and set priorities for strategy, investment, financing, product development, technology transfer or funded projects.
Ceresana supports you with tailored market intelligence – from the initial question to a usable decision basis.
Companies, start-ups and research organisations often face similar core questions: Which markets are attractive? Which applications should be prioritised? Which customers are willing to pay? How large is the potential? Which competitors, substitutes and market-entry barriers exist?
