In an effort to expand our growing research capabilities, Euromonitor is proud to announce the launch of Passport: Automotive - a unique look into the consumer dynamics that are shaping future automotive industry demand.

New Data on Countries & Consumers: Monthly and Quarterly Economic Forecasts

Euromonitor International is pleased to announce the introduction of forecasts for our key monthly and quarterly economic indicators. The database has been expanded to include one-year forecast data (12 months for monthly data or 4 quarters for quarterly data). Monthly/quarterly data is also now fully integrated into Passport's data tree and covers 69 indicators and 58 countries in total.

Short-term forecasts are hugely important in these uncertain times as highlighted by the volatility in world markets following the global economic downturn of 2008-2009 and subsequent sovereign debt crisis. Euromonitor's forecasts will help to look into the future and understand how commodity price fluctuations, changes in economic growth, government expenditure policy, unemployment or consumer confidence will affect consumer markets and business environments in the year ahead. This data will enable businesses to strategise and adapt to changing economic conditions and consumer sentiment.

The WTM Global Trends Report 2010, in association with market research company Euromonitor International, has done it again when it comes to accurately predicting future travel and tourism trends.

The launch of the  WTM Global Trends Report 2011, taking place on Monday November 7 at World Travel Market, will be no exception when the next key industry trends to hit the sector will be shared with the international media.

In 2011 - It’s China vs. Japan in Asia's Retail Scene

The 8^th edition of the Retail Asia Pacific Top 500 report bore witness to the recovery of the retail scene in Asia, which chalked up an impressive $834 Billion in sales and 10% growth in 2010, as Asia shook off the remnant effects of the recession. In contrast to the previous years’ rankings, 2010 also saw no country posting declines in overall value sales in local currency and US dollar terms, yet another strong sign of the recovery in Asia Pacific’s retail scene.

New Data in Economic Observer: Expansion of Economic Indicators and Commodity Prices

Not just a "man's world" - Female breadwinners' growing influence in consumer spending

While unemployment rates remain high, female employment is rising and wages for women are higher than ever before, creating a significant impact on purchasing behavior among female consumers. In its latest strategy briefing: Female Breadwinners - How the Rise in Working Women is Influencing Spending Patterns, Euromonitor International  looks at the growing buying power of the female worker.

Women are earning more than ever before, and in some cases are becoming the sole or principle earner in the family. According to the report, women currently represent 40% of the global economically active population, reaching 1.25 billion in 2010. Euromonitor’s analysis suggests that with more female money makers, marketers need to consider new ways to target this consumer group.  “Women are more easily reached via viral campaigns, and are more interested than men in causal marketing and fair trade issues,” says Gina Westbrook, Euromonitor International’s editorial director. “Their natural desire for interaction and propensity to “spread the word”, along with the advent of web- and GPS-enabled phones, will make viral marketing and fun mobile phone apps more effective ways to reach female consumers in the future,” adds Westbrook.
