Market Assessments

A market assessment is a rapid snapshot of which goods and services are available, and an idea of how satisfied consumers are with those goods and services offered in markets. Forcier conducts market assessments at the grassroots level, as well as in-depth market research and labor studies for private sector clients in major market locations.
