3,000+ Reports, Sharper Decisions: How Speeda Powers Confident Decision-Making
Summary
For professionals working across Southeast Asia, business decisions are only as good as the research behind them. Whether evaluating a new market, defending a transfer pricing strategy, or preparing for a client meeting, having clear, accurate insights at your fingertips is critical. That’s where structured, purpose-built reporting — not just raw data — becomes essential.
Go-To Platform for Asian Company and Industry Research
Reports Designed for Business Decision-Making, Not Just Reading
Traditional industry reports often fall short — they’re either too broad, too outdated, or too generic to be actionable. Speeda reports are built to serve a different purpose: helping professionals apply insights directly into their workflows. These are not recycled third-party summaries but in-house, analyst-led publications structured specifically to meet business needs.
What makes these reports distinctive is how they balance depth with usability. They’re designed to be quickly absorbed, benchmarked, and applied — whether that means building an internal presentation, assessing market feasibility, or defending a pricing strategy.
As BDO’s Executive Director of Transfer Pricing, Tan Chin Teck, puts it, “Speeda plays an important role to cut down our time by providing credible data, especially in terms of benchmarking.” See how BDO cuts down its benchmarking with our reports from their testimonial.
Understanding the Industry Landscape with Structured Reports
Speeda’s industry reports offer a consistent and standardised framework, making it easier to compare sectors and geographies. Each report includes key elements such as market size, value chains, growth drivers, and competitive dynamics — all structured by Speeda’s proprietary classification.

For organisations like Malaysia Debt Ventures (MDV), these reports form the backbone of initial-stage research. As internal consultants working across tech-related financing projects, MDV’s team frequently relies on Speeda to understand the fundamentals of unfamiliar industries. “Speeda plays an essential role in the initial research stage to gain a quick understanding,” the team shared. The reports often serve as templates to shape their internal deliverables.
Similarly, MDV uses industry reports as a research base, particularly in niche sectors. Past reads have included insights into Malaysia’s electric vehicle sector and ready-to-drink beverages — information later used in client discussions and advisory briefs.

Southeast Asia Localised Insight Reports Focused on Trends
While industry reports provide a structured overview, Speeda’s insight reports offer a deeper, more tailored look into Southeast Asia’s evolving market trends. Authored by analysts on the ground, these reports are built from original research, addressing emerging themes like digital transformation, fintech regulation, and supply chain shifts.
Unlike standardised templates, these insight reports adapt their structure and scope depending on the topic. They’re particularly valuable for executives and consultants navigating new terrain in SEA markets — offering both breadth and regional nuance.

Supporting Professionals Across Every Research Milestone
1 | A Head Start for Strategic Planning and Market Entry
For strategy teams, time is always limited — but expectations are high. Whether exploring a new country, industry or customer base, teams need to gain clarity quickly and present options backed by credible data.
Speeda’s industry reports offer a ready-to-use foundation for these planning cycles. They summarise key information needed to evaluate market attractiveness, competitive positioning, and operational risks. Because the structure is consistent, professionals can compare sectors side by side and create frameworks for more in-depth internal analysis.
Whether supporting internal leadership or preparing cross-border expansion proposals, strategy teams get the head start they need without compromising quality.
2 | Faster Preparation for Consultants and Internal Advisors
Time-saving isn’t just convenient — it’s a competitive advantage, particularly for consultants. As BDO notes, benchmarking studies used to take up to a week. Using public databases and directories like SME listings or yellow pages, teams would start with hundreds of companies and manually filter them down. With Speeda’s advanced filters and classification system, this process now takes minutes.
Tan Chin Teck explains, “In one case, we had up to 1,000 companies to review manually. Now we get results instantly, which streamlines the entire research process.”
Beyond benchmarking, BDO also uses Speeda in client-facing moments — such as sales meetings. Before a pitch, Tan checks the client’s financials, compares peers, and uses insights to tailor his approach: “I can say things like, ‘Based on my research your financial year is like this…’ It makes my pitch more relevant.”
At MDV, Speeda plays a similar role in internal consulting. Their team supports multiple departments, from business development to technology evaluation. The reports help them stay informed across diverse sectors like ICT, green energy and biotech — even under tight timeframes.
3 | Enabling Investment and M&A Teams to Act with Confidence
For deal teams, time-sensitive decisions require not only financial analysis but also industry context. Speeda reports enable investment and M&A professionals to assess sectors from multiple angles: competitive landscape, growth outlook, regulatory issues, and recent deal activity.
When combined with Speeda’s company database and M&A transaction records, reports help validate assumptions and uncover red flags early. This accelerates deal screening and supports more informed conversations with potential partners or acquisition targets.
Insight reports also support longer-term thematic tracking — such as spotting emerging subsectors or understanding region-specific challenges. These insights can help deal teams prioritise where to focus their attention next.

Designed to deliver speed, consistency, and context across Asia
Why In-House Research Matters in Emerging Markets like Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s markets can be opaque — with limited public data, fragmented regulations, and diverse business practices across borders. That is why in-house research plays a crucial role. Instead of relying on repurposed third-party content, Speeda’s reports are developed by full-time analysts who bring local context and sector expertise.
This structure ensures every report meets a consistent quality standard while maintaining the flexibility to reflect regional nuances. For organisations operating across multiple Southeast Asian markets, it provides a reliable foundation for comparison, planning, and compliance.
