- China (17%), the United States (16%) and New Zealand (8%) were the most important markets for respondents, by international revenue;
- The biggest barriers to doing businesses internationally were culture and/or local business practices (29%), payment issues (10%) and regulations that
favour local firms (9%);
- Over three-quarters of respondents placed significant emphasis on personally visiting overseas customers in order to develop and grow their international markets.
