We have been defining and refining the market intelligence mix ever since, to offer our clients a unique perspective on the industry landscape ahead and a clear roadmap to navigate it with.

We scour industry and government data, which our analysts then integrate into meaningful sizing models and future value forecasts for variables within the sector. Is the market growing? Is it in decline? Where is it heading next? With this thorough market research approach, we find the answers to guide your long term planning. Market intelligence stretches further than market research and analysis.

We have the product intelligence you need
Product intelligence adds micro-level relevance to the macro context of our market analysis, bringing our clients real-world examples of the launches and goods that are driving the numbers. Through competitive intelligence we keep our clients abreast of their rivals’ strategies, changes in industry standards, to give them the understanding they need to choose the right response to gain or maintain that crucial competitive edge. From company, brand and product strategies to communications and performance benchmarking, we analyze the competitive landscape of hundreds of distances, form factors and data rates.

The value to our clients is when we pull them all together. We have a dedicated account team and client servicing staff that work together to provide our clients with understanding as well as knowledge. That means they don’t just know what’s happening now, they understand what’s coming next and how they need to react to keep their businesses growing.

That’s our market intelligence. That’s how it helps our clients grow.
