Pearl River Metrics provides a granular lens into cross-border commerce. Beyond basic import statistics, we map the complex causalities that drive the modern supply chain.
Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, we specialize in ASEAN trade corridors and their intersection with global manufacturing hubs.
Removing noise from raw trade data to ensure 98.4% attribution accuracy across product codes.
Real-time port throughput monitoring forms the baseline of our predictive export analysis.
Our approach to trade data is built on the principle of triangulation. We do not rely on a single source of truth; instead, we synthesize three distinct layers of economic activity.
We begin with official import statistics and export registries. Our proprietary software audits HS codes to correct misclassifications—a common error in bulk commodities and intermediate electronic components. This ensures that the volume metrics we provide reflect the physical reality of the goods moved.
To validate the financial data, we cross-reference it with oceanic and air freight manifests. By tracking the vessel-level capacity used, we can identify discrepancies between reported value and actual physical flow, providing a more reliable foundation for export analysis.
For public-facing entities, we integrate quarterly earnings and supply chain disclosures. This qualitative layer allows us to interpret "why" a trend is shifting—whether it is a strategic pivot toward reshoring or a temporary reaction to regional port congestion.
Forecasting is not about predicting the future; it is about quantifying the probability of multiple futures. Pearl River Metrics utilizes a 5-step modeling sequence to identify trade trend inflections before they appear in mainstream economic reports.
We analyze how consumer demand shifts in primary markets affect the manufacturing pipeline in Malaysia and Singapore.
Incorporating tariff adjustments and trade agreement renegotiations into cost-of-goods-sold projections.
