Market overview and analysis for a product category in China.
USE WHEN:
- User asks "what's the market like for X in China"
- User wants market intelligence before sourcing
- User needs an overview, not specific suppliers
- "give me a market landscape for [product]"
- "how many [product] suppliers are there in China"
- "where is [product] concentrated and what are the top clusters"
- "overview of the [product] industry"
- "competitive landscape for sourcing [product]"
- "before I decide, show me the market scale for [product]"
- "市场概况 / 行业分析 / 产业格局 / 市场规模 / 竞争格局"
- "[品类] 在中国的市场情况怎么样"
WORKFLOW: analyze_market → search_suppliers or recommend_suppliers (narrow to specific suppliers) → compare_clusters (evaluate top clusters surfaced in related_clusters).
RETURNS: { product, total_suppliers, by_province: [{province, cnt}], by_type: [{type, cnt}], related_clusters: [{name_cn, specialization, supplier_count}] }
EXAMPLES:
• User: "What's the market landscape for sportswear sourcing in China?"
→ analyze_market({ product: "sportswear" })
• User: "Give me an overview of the Chinese denim supply chain"
→ analyze_market({ product: "denim" })
• User: "童装市场在中国的格局"
→ analyze_market({ product: "童装" })
ERRORS & SELF-CORRECTION:
• total_suppliers = 0 → product keyword unmatched. Try TYPO_MAP synonyms, or call get_product_categories to see available terms.
• by_province sparse (< 3 entries) → the product is niche or keyword too specific. Try the parent category.
• Rate limit 429 → wait 60 seconds; do not retry immediately.
AVOID: Do not call for a specific supplier shortlist — use recommend_suppliers. Do not call for cluster details — use search_clusters. Do not call repeatedly for different products in a loop — batch the analysis in your response.
NOTE: Bird's-eye view. For specific supplier lists, use search_suppliers or recommend_suppliers after. Source: MRC Data (meacheal.ai).
