In stepping up its efforts to market the products of MSMEs, NSIC has set up a Specialized Marketing Intelligence Cell, NSIC Marketing Intelligence Cell to help MSMEs in getting appropriate information at one place and at the right time which will enable MSMEs in enhancing their ability to gauge and be at par with the global demand.

In the current era of globalization, MSMEs need marketing information about the changing pattern of fashions / tastes in the domestic and international market besides information about the trends in exports and potential for exports. These are the vital inputs for making MSMEs aware about their marketing strategy. MSMEs need to be provided with market related information, new avenues for their products, new business practices, both domestically as well as overseas. MSMEs are handicapped because of the non availability of information pertaining to Centre Government / State Government policies and programmes.
