Research Methodology

Euromonitor International has a network of more than 600 research analysts worldwide, tapping the best local sources and providing real local flavour in the reporting of each national market. This is costly and hard to manage but we believe it delivers the best quality research.

Field researchers are co-ordinated and supported by teams of project managers and analysts in London, Chicago, Singapore, Shanghai and Vilnius who ensure the consistency of data and interpretation of trends across international markets.

The sources we use vary across different data types:

Country statistics

Euromonitor International researches country statistics from official organisations such as national statistical offices, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations. Sourcing this data is time consuming, because of the large number of organisations we contact. Also, because there are no standardised methods of reporting data, analysts must fully understand the definitions of national statistics, model data so it meets our own strict category definitions and consolidate information into a format that can be compared across countries.

Lifestyle statistics

Lifestyle statistics are researched from census data and household surveys published by national statistical offices, plus a range of other international sources including the World Tourism Council, International Labour Organisation, Council of Europe, World Health Organisation. Again, in order to ensure international comparability, definitions are authenticated and supplementary analysis is carried out as necessary.
