In the rapidly evolving landscape of cross-border e-commerce, proxy shopping services like Bbdbuy rely on agile market analysis to maintain competitiveness. This article explores methods for collecting market trend data within spreadsheets—including industry developments, shifts in consumer demand, and regulatory changes—and utilizes data analytics alongside market research theories to formulate adaptive business strategies.
Spreadsheets (Google Sheets/Excel) can integrate APIs (e.g., customs databases, Shopify analytics) or scrape data via tools like ImportXML. Example formula for real-time currency rates:
=GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDCNY")

Pivot tables visualize YoY demand growth for specific product categories (e.g., 30% increase in skincare purchases from EU markets in Q3 2023).
Linear regression in spreadsheets forecasts demand spikes (e.g., pre-holiday seasons). Tools like Excel's Data Analysis Toolpak enable scenario planning:
=FORECAST(LINEAR)(x, known_y's, known_x's)
Combine with external NLP tools (e.g., MonkeyLearn) to score customer reviews stored in spreadsheets, flagging declining satisfaction (e.g., shipping delays).
Adjust margins automatically via spreadsheet-based triggers (e.g., oil price surges increase logistics costs by 15%).
Identify underserved niches through gap analysis (e.g., rising Japanese hobbyist goods demand unfulfilled by competitors).
Flag regulation changes (e.g., EU’s 2023 VAT reforms) in shared spreadsheets, triggering workflow alerts for legal review.
By systematically capturing and analyzing market data in spreadsheets—a low-cost, collaborative tool—Bbdbuy can iteratively refine strategies. For instance, expanding warehouse networks in response to ASEAN demand clusters identified through heatmap analysis (see Figure 2). Continuous spreadsheet auditing ensures strategies remain data-driven.
