Business Description

Business Description: MarkLines operates an automotive industry portal with three pillars: "Search Site: Information Platform", an online information service specialized for the automotive industry; "Promotional Advertising: LINES", a B2B promotion support service; and "Problem-solving Service: Experts", focusing on consulting, recruitment, and the sale of market forecast data.

Search site: Information Platform
This is a members-only information service that provides information in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese, on suppliers from around the world (orders and deliveries, facilities data, activities and trends, and more); statistical data on automotive production and sales; reports on technology and market trends; and model change data including forecasts. This information is commonly needed by companies related to the automotive industry but can be time-consuming and costly to obtain. This information is collected independently through press releases, individual interviews, purchases from external organizations, partnerships with other companies, etc., and is then centrally collected, organized, and analyzed before being compiled into a database and provided to industry practitioners.

Promotional Advertising: LINES
This service efficiently supports sales promotion activities by promoting a company's products, technologies, and services to subscribers of the Information Platform through PR e-mails, product information postings on the website, banner ads, and other means.

Consulting and customized research
We respond to individual requests from clients to conduct research on technology and market trends and activities, as well as supply chains and other procurement status surveys. We provide high-value-added services by making full use of the information we have accumulated, our unique knowledge, and our network of internal and external experts.

Recruiting Solutions
This is a recruitment business specializing in the automotive industry. We introduce the most suitable personnel to meet the various recruitment needs of automotive-related companies, including engineering, sales, management, and planning positions.

Sales of GlobalData Plc products (market forecast information)
This is a service that provides automobile market forecast information from the British research company GlobalData (formerly LMC Automotive). We offer a wide range of information, from passenger car production forecasts by region and passenger car sales forecasts to forecasts for medium and large commercial vehicles as well as forecasts for emerging markets.
