Market & Competitor Monitoring

Monitor what specific goods your competitors are exporting or importing, how frequently, and through which ports. View HS codes, shipment volumes, shipment values, origin-destination pairs, and time-series trends to uncover where they're focusing efforts — whether it's a new product push or increased volume in a particular trade lane.

Detect early signs of strategic shifts by tracking when a competitor initiates or ceases trade with specific countries or regions. Sudden upticks in shipments can signal market expansion, while fading activity may reveal retreat due to regulatory challenges, cost issues, or supply disruptions. This intelligence helps you anticipate moves before they’re publicly known.

Compare trade activity across a set of competitors to measure relative growth, volume changes, and geographic focus. Understand who’s gaining or losing market share over time, identify emerging players, and track sector-specific dynamics that impact your position. Use these insights to refine pricing, positioning, and sourcing strategies in competitive markets.

Monitor when a company begins sourcing from new regions, ports, or suppliers. These changes often reflect cost-saving initiatives, diversification strategies, or responses to geopolitical pressures. With yTrade, you can pinpoint new supplier relationships by tracking shipment origins, volumes, and counterparty identities.

Changes in shipment frequency or volume from existing partners can signal increased reliance or potential supplier exits. Use this data to infer supply stability, identify potential bottlenecks, or spot signs of supplier consolidation or risk mitigation.

Spot patterns where companies reduce dependence on a single country or region — such as China-to-Vietnam transitions or nearshoring shifts. yTrade provides the visibility needed to understand how supply chains are being reshaped in response to trade wars, sanctions, or cost changes.

Analyze shipment frequency, volume, and trade routes of key players in your sector. Whether you're watching a longtime rival or a fast-scaling newcomer, yTrade lets you track their global footprint — month over month, market by market.

Detect when a competitor increases shipments into a key market, signaling a strategic push — or when their presence declines, revealing an opening you can capitalize on. These benchmarks help you understand not just your own trade performance, but the broader landscape you're competing within.

Use sector-wide benchmarks to monitor demand volatility, geographic pivots, and industry-specific trade activity. With yTrade, you’re not reacting to lagging reports — you’re making decisions based on what’s actually moving across borders now.
