Advancing Southeast Asian Market Access for a US Mobile Device and Repair Services Firm
Orissa International conducted a market brief for a US-based client specializing in mobile device and wireless repair parts. With over 20 years of industry experience and strong technical expertise in device repair services, buyback programs, and protection plans, the client sought to explore opportunities for expansion in Southeast Asia.
The study examined regional market conditions, with a particular focus on the supply and servicing of liquid-crystal display (LCD) components, modules, and screens for mobile phones and consumer electronics. It mapped out the manufacturing and repair ecosystem across the region, profiling key global and local players, and highlighting the rising demand for repair services and components in major ASEAN markets. The report provided actionable insights into the competitive landscape and local capabilities across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, serving as a strategic reference for the client’s regional expansion plans.
In addition, Orissa International conducted an in-depth business matching exercise to support the client’s market entry. We identified and shortlisted prospective partners in Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, targeting companies aligned with the client’s focus on refurbished mobile device components and repair parts. Each candidate was assessed based on its business activities and fit with the client’s offering. We facilitated connections with relevant stakeholders, including specialized repair centers, resellers of used electronics, and suppliers of mobile accessories and LCD components.

Orissa International assisted a global leader in perimeter security solutions, with over 40 years of experience and serving clients in high-security sectors, in exploring business opportunities in the Philippines. As part of a customised Market Visit Program during an international security conference, we arranged pre-qualified meetings with key organisations in sectors such as railway, power generation, civil aviation, and electricity transmission. Additionally, the company delivered presentations to maritime defence and security agencies, which expressed interest in its perimeter security solutions. The meetings enabled the client to assess market demand, validate opportunities, and identify qualified prospects for collaboration and procurement discussions, laying the foundation for market entry and generating follow-up opportunities.
Market Entry Report on Singapore for Estonian Exporters
Orissa International was engaged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia to develop a comprehensive market entry guide for Singapore. The goal was to identify export and partnership opportunities for Estonian companies across key technology sectors. The report provided an in-depth analysis of Singapore’s business environment, trade regulations, and commercial practices, followed by detailed sectoral insights in areas such as EdTech, CleanTech/GreenTech, HealthTech, Defence, F&B, Maritime/MarineTech, Food Technology, Smart City, Cybersecurity, and DeepTech. The study also included primary research through interviews with key stakeholders and explored the ecosystem, policy landscape, procurement trends, and competitive positioning in each sector. Export opportunities were identified through a gap analysis and a five-year roadmap, offering actionable insights to support Estonian companies seeking to enter the Singapore market.

Market Entry Support in Malaysia and Singapore for US Motion Control Distributor
Orissa International facilitated a business matching program for a Michigan-based distributor of motion control, fluid power, and automation products to explore opportunities in Malaysia and Singapore. The program included 11 meetings: 6 in Malaysia, 4 in Singapore, and 1 virtual. These meetings connected the distributor with OEMs, system integrators, and distributors in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, medical, mining, and industrial automation. In Malaysia, one company expressed interest in becoming a reseller, while several others agreed to evaluate the products further. In Singapore, a distributor was identified as a potential alternative supplier, driven by sourcing challenges with an existing manufacturer. Orissa International’s support provided the client with valuable market insights, facilitated key connections, and helped lay the groundwork for market entry in Malaysia and Singapore.
Business Matching in Singapore for a Supply Chain Automation Software Provider
Orissa International facilitated a customized business matching program for a Virginia-based provider of supply chain automation and visibility software, aimed at exploring market opportunities in Singapore. Commissioned by a state economic development agency, the program connected the software provider with key stakeholders in logistics, marine services, and cold chain industries. A selection of potential companies was identified and prequalified, leading to high-value meetings with decision-makers from relevant sectors. These meetings provided valuable insights into operational challenges like manual cargo tracking, inventory management inefficiencies, and temperature-controlled logistics. The discussions facilitated next steps, including NDA exchanges, pilot trials, and collaborative opportunities tied to upcoming contracts. As a result of the program, the Virginia-based software provider was able to evaluate market opportunities, engage with potential partners, and assess the regulatory landscape to establish its presence in Singapore’s supply chain sector.
