International Interface conducts market researches in countries across the globe, with a focus on Asia, including Japan, India, China, and the ASEAN nations.

When it comes to market research overseas, an understanding of the national or regional characteristics and language of a country is indispensable from the survey planning and design stage.

International Interface offers one-stop solutions for these problems. The specialized consultants at International Interface offer comprehensive services, from survey planning and design to data collection, analysis, and reports, all handled in English.
