婆罗洲市场研究

Borneo is the largest island in Asia and the third-largest in the world. It lies in Southeast Asia near Malaysia. Its beaches and rainforests are well known. Three Southeast Asian nations occupy the island: Brunei and Malaysia are in the north, and Indonesia is to the south. Brunei is one of the world’s smallest yet richest states, with a high standard of living. Malaysian Borneo is known as East Malaysia. Indonesian Borneo is known as Kalimantan.

What Is Market Research in Borneo

Market research in Borneo studies a diverse range of cultures and economic activities, as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei share the island. The research focuses on understanding consumer behavior across different demographics influenced by local industries such as agriculture, tourism, and forestry.

关键方面：

• 经济形势： Borneo is rich in natural resources, including palm oil, timber, and biodiversity, which shape market trends. The region’s unique cultural diversity impacts consumer preferences and purchasing decisions.
• 方法论： Both qualitative (focus groups, interviews) and quantitative (surveys) methods are used to gather data on consumer habits, brand awareness, and preferences, particularly in urban centers like Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
• 挑战： Conducting effective market research involves navigating cultural differences and geographic barriers that can hinder access to rural populations. Regulatory issues related to natural resources also complicate the research landscape.
• 好处： Market research aids businesses in recognizing emerging trends in agriculture and eco-tourism, helping them develop targeted marketing strategies that resonate with local consumers across various demographic groups.

婆罗洲为何重要？

Borneo is one of the most protected areas worldwide. Its forests are diverse and can produce more income than the logging industry. At present, a biotech company in Malaysian Borneo is working on setting up a new bio-economy based on knowledge rather than resource usage.

婆罗洲的城市和地区

三马林达, located on the banks of the Mahakam River, is the most populous city on the island and the capital of East Kalimantan, an Indonesian province.

班贾尔马辛 是第二大城市，属于南加里曼丹省。它位于巴里托河和马塔普拉河交汇处附近的一个三角洲岛屿上。

Kuching 是 the third-largest city on the island and the most populous city in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. It is on the banks of the Sarawak River and has an area of 166 square miles.

市场走向

随着该岛继续保护森林，生态企业可以蓬勃发展。它已致力于保护婆罗洲猩猩。向公众宣传保护这些动物的重要性的活动也很有帮助。事实上，该岛已宣布禁止非法贩运这些猿类的教令（伊斯兰教禁令）。这是有史以来第一个保护濒危物种的教令。该岛还拥有一些生物多样性的热带森林。这一资产可以为生态旅游投资者带来进一步的利益。

频繁的森林火灾仍然是一个问题。在世界许多地区，这种火灾对森林生态系统起着至关重要的作用。但热带雨林的情况并非如此。无论如何，热带雨林很少因潮湿而起火。然而，婆罗洲的森林却因不当做法而起火。该国需要投资者资助能够维持雨林的开发项目。

Wildlife conservation is also a happy trend. As mentioned, the island has large orangutan populations in the upland forests. Habitat loss also threatens Sunda clouded leopards and the Sumatran rhino. Moreover, the loss of Bornean forests releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, which is another threat to species.

重点行业

Oil palm took off in Borneo in the mid-1990s. Today, Malaysia is the world’s largest producer of palm oil. In 1960, the country grew 60,000 hectares of oil palm, and by 2001, this figure had grown to 3 million hectares. One-third of the oil palm plantations are in Sabah, in the northeast. Sabah has the ideal climate for growing the plant.

马来西亚和印度尼西亚都在寻求扩大木材种植园。然而，油棕和木材产业都给该岛带来了麻烦。种植者和伐木工人砍伐、割裂和破坏了婆罗洲的森林。油棕和木浆种植园威胁着该岛的生态环境。

上世纪中叶，森林砍伐开始真正开始。首先是建立橡胶种植园，尽管这些种植园的影响有限。伐木活动在 20 世纪 70 年代开始兴起，并在 20 世纪 80 年代进一步发展。在此期间，马来西亚的大陆森林被砍伐殆尽。与此同时，前印尼强人苏哈托将大片森林赠予军队将领，以巩固政治关系。这一行动导致 20 世纪 80 年代的森林砍伐进一步加剧。该岛目前正受到全球森林保护组织 (Government Forest Protection Organization) 的关注，因为它正努力重建森林覆盖率。

消费者群体

In Borneo, gaps exist between consumers’ wishes and the actual uptake of branded products due to higher prices. People under 35 have also shifted to online buying due to the recent pandemic. Researchers foresee this shift becoming a permanent feature, as many Borneans continue using digital platforms even after things return to normal.

在婆罗洲拓展业务的理由

Are you aiming to do business in the Malaysian states? Malaysia is one of the strongest countries in the Asia Pacific Region. It has a solid infrastructure, a well-educated workforce, and affordable, high-quality living.

印尼方面将给予你贸易协定和投资激励。印尼的另一大优势是人口众多，中产阶级不断壮大，劳动力成本低廉。

Like Malaysia, Brunei is a stable country with a favorable tax policy. Other pluses are the strong oil and gas industry and excellent regional connections.

The island of Borneo is also biodiverse and home to more than 1,400 types of animals. However, there are some issues, such as the terrain, which is often swampy or mountainous. Yet, the island has a lot of potential for growing and sustaining profitable business ventures.
