• In-depth company reports on both developed and emerging markets, their consumer preferences and the competitive picture of national companies, shares and brands and distribution.
• Global reports which assess the key issues affecting the international market performance.

How do people connect to the Internet and what is their online spending behaviour is included in the The Digital Consumer. This data assists in identifying markets that are digitally attractive for product development and marketing reasons.

Flexible search options
Passport offers different search options depending on the complexity and nature of the enquiry.   

• Using the standard search tool, you can perform a keyword search on a single category or topic.  An example being 'coffee in Ireland.'
• The search dashboards allow you to visually explore an industry to understand large data sets and you can also change different statistical types.
• The 'Full Tree Search' facilitate searching for different categories and topics for comparison.

COVID-19 and its impact
The Euromonitor recovery index is a 'composite index' which helps businesses predict recovery from the impact of the pandemic using a quarterly timeline. The Global Recovery Tracker applies to a number of countries. A score of 100 or above indicates full recovery,
The Economic Scenario Model uses 2019 as its baseline to forecast industry recovery for selected countries. This is of significant interest to the business community.
