Market Research in Hong Kong
Market overview of Hong Kong
Economy
Hong Kong is a service-oriented economy, with more than 90% of its GDP accounted for by the services sector. It used to be the most business-friendly economy before Singapore took over this spot.
Consumers
Hong Kongers are embracing e-commerce, albeit slowly. Retailers and landlords are also very optimistic about the growth in online sales.
This is largely due to sales promotions that e-commerce platforms like Taobao and Amazon offer, such as Black Friday sales or 11.11 sales.
Market Research in Hong Kong
Although Mandarin and English are the official languages of Hong Kong, Hong Kongers actually speak Cantonese, a Chinese dialect. Just like Taiwan, they use Traditional Chinese characters instead of the Simplified Chinese used in Mainland China. Hence it is important to have a Cantonese-speaking moderator or interviewer to conduct fieldwork, who can also read Traditional Chinese characters. Hong Kongers also behave differently from the Chinese in Mainland China, hence they cannot be generalised to be the same.
