Euromonitor International Releases State-Level US Data

We are pleased to announce the addition of United States regional and state-level data and analysis to its Passport market research database, identifying unique differences within the world’s largest economy.

“The US market is diverse and trends can vary significantly by state and region. For example, popular brands in the Southern region may not be well received in the Pacific,” said US Research Analyst, Jared Koerten. “This data allows users to identify regional trends, making it easier to develop existing products in new regions and enhance their chances of success.” 

The new data covers 22 of the largest states, equaling 80 percent of the US population, and helps retailers and brands target specific regions or states with potential growth opportunities. 

Regional-level reports and breaking news articles will help better understand trends and socioeconomic conditions in each region as they are happening.  

“While domestic businesses gain an obvious advantage from using regional data, international companies also benefit by finding potential opportunities for new business growth within a niche market in the US,” Koerten said.

Ten facts from Euromonitor’s new state-level data:

1. One-fifth of all bottled water sold in the US is in California.
2. More than 53 percent of variety stores in the US are located in the South.
3. Per capita disposable income in the Northeast is 15 percent higher than the national average.
4. The average consumer in Ohio spends nearly US$200 per year at discounters like Save-A-Lot and Aldi – nearly three times the national average.
5. Walgreen Co, the national leader in drugstores with an outlet share of over 26 percent in 2012, trails both rivals CVS Caremark Corp and Rite Aid Corp in the Northeast.
6. With per capita disposable income of $28,300 per year, Mississippi was the country’s poorest state in 2012.
7. The average consumer in the Midwest purchases more than 200 litres of carbonates every year.
8. The population in Arizona is projected to grow faster than any other state – growing more than 15 percent by 2020.
9. Per capita coffee consumption in the Northeast is nearly 12 percent higher than the national average.
10. Were it an independent country, California would rank just behind Canada as the world’s 12th largest retailing market, with total retail sales of nearly US$307 billion in 2012.

Introducing New Analysis on Cities Around the World

We are excited to announce the launch of Passport: Cities - a database providing fully comparable data and in-depth analysis on 850 cities worldwide. 

Passport: Cities provides localized city economic profiles and analysis on consumers.  Analysis is based on urban economic theory and was developed by Euromonitor’s extended global network of in-country analysts.

“Passport: Cities looks at consumers and the economic profiles of cities around the globe.  For example, in terms of both population and real per capita GDP, we can look globally to find extremely strong growth through 2020 in Chinese cities. Since Chinese economic growth and job creation takes place primarily in cities, people migrate from rural to urban areas on a very large scale,” explains Kotryna Gailiute, City Project Manager at Euromonitor International. “In per capita GDP creation the winners will not be Beijing or Shanghai, but the less well-known metropolises, such as Wuhan and Tianjin.”

The database covers 850 cities and features in-depth city reviews, regularly updated reports and breaking news analysis.  Reports cover the economic make-up, demographic trends, level and distribution of household income, consumer spending preferences, cities infrastructure and affordability at the city level.

“The population that moves from rural to urban areas will become more accessible to businesses due to better infrastructure in cities. Consumers will also switch from rural to urban consumption habits and lifestyles. Increasing per capita GDP means that demand will rise for higher-end products, such as high-quality goods and services, organic food, leisure and recreation services, hi-tech gadgets and branded clothing,” said Gailiute.

• Americans are drawn to countries coming in from the cold, such as North Korea, Cuba and Myanmar, while Nigeria's film industry, Nollywood, is a magnet for intra-regional African travel.
