Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided data sources (or suggest using public sources if none given) to identify at least 3 potential emerging markets.
- For each market, describe the key trends, consumer behavior shifts, and competitive landscape.
- Evaluate attractiveness based on market size, growth rate, ease of entry, and alignment with company capabilities.
- Highlight potential risks (e.g., regulatory, cultural, economic) for each market.

Output format — A structured report with sections: Market Overview, Trend Analysis, Opportunity Assessment, Risk & Mitigation, Recommended Entry Strategy. Use bullet points and a comparison table or matrix. Keep tone objective and evidence-based.
Guardrails — Do not make up data; base findings on provided sources or clearly state assumptions. Do not recommend entering a market solely based on trend without considering company readiness. Flag any high-risk opportunities that require further validation.
