Luxury goods, automotive market, products by ingredients and more! Passport GMID enhancements

Published by Mark Bodnar

Our main marketing data source has recently gotten even better!

Passport GMID has always been a great source for data on consumers and producers of fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs), not to mention the economic and demographic data covering every country in the world. Now they've added...

1. Coverage of Automotive, Luxury, and Ingredients industries.

This means you can now find details such as...

  • * An examination of the competitive landscape of the luxury cigar industry in Canada.
  • * Data from 2004 to 2016 (actual and forecasted) for the volume of the ingredient "phytoestrogens" consumed in many countries.
  • * Analysis of the pick-up market in Indonesia, the effect of government incentives on Spanish automobile buying, and expected car sales in Vietnam up to 2020.

2. Additional datasets for many industries and products, covering such things as:

  • * Distribution: Example: What portion of contact lenses are sold in optical shops vs over the internet?  Globally?  In China?  How much beer is sold off-trade vs. on-trade in Russia?
  • * Analysis by flavour for selected industries: Example: How do the main ice cream flavours rank in Malaysia?
  • * Analysis by market segment for selected industries: Example: What are the premium vs mass market sales of deodorants in Mexico?
  • * Ingredients: Example: What is the percentage breakdown of ingredients found in soups sold in France and Egypt? How is the supply of cocoa liquor divided among products in Australia?

All this in addition to the usual data on market value & volume, brand & company shares, etc.!  If you haven't explored Passport GMID before, give it a try.  Let me know if you need help: Mark - mbodnar@sfu.ca
