Global Trade Perspectives
Companies are racing to become more international, if not global in their strategies. For over 2000 product/industry categories, these reports give the reader a concise summary of latent market forecasts, pro-forma financials, import competition profiles, contacts, key references and trends across 200 countries of the world. Some reports focus on a particular product and region (up to four regions per product), while others focus on a product within a particular country.
World Statistical Outlooks
This series was created for international firms who rely on foreign markets for a substantial portion of their business or who might be threatened by international competition. The estimates given in this report were created using a methodology developed by and implemented under the direct supervision of Professor Philip M. Parker, the Eli Lilly Chaired Professor of Innovation, Business and Society, at INSEAD. The methodology relies on historical figures across countries. Reported figures should be seen as estimates of past and future levels of latent demand.
World Market Forecasts: Imports/Exports
This series was created for international firms who rely on foreign import/export markets for a substantial portion of their business or who might be threatened by foreign trade competition. The methodology, relying on historical figures of economic growth and trade flows, estimates the market shares of some 150 countries for over 500 industrial or product categories. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical records, as these are projected for the current year of trade.
Economic and Product Market Databooks
These studies cover the outlook products in various countries. For the year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the nation (in millions of U.S. dollars). Comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge each country vis-à-vis regional and global totals. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. These reports do not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. These studies also do not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. These studies, therefore, are strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
City Almanacs
These studies cover the outlook products in various cities. For the year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the nation (in millions of U.S. dollars). Comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge each city vis-à-vis regional and global totals. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each city, latent demand estimates are created. These reports do not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. These studies also do not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. These studies, therefore, are strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
