Custom Market Research

Even the most basic data is not readily available for many product markets in the Arab world, especially for companies outside the narrow field of consumer products.

IMES Consulting uses a research approach which is proven across a wide range of sectors to deliver comprehensive and accurate information. It is properly defined as “stochastic and iterative” – or put more simply, we keep asking questions until we’re confident of the answers.

Insights are obtained through primary discussions with the key market participants themselves – manufacturers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, Government departments, trade associations etc. All data is of course cross-checked and analysed against secondary sources such as official statistics and trade press articles.

Some of the key sectors in which we have successfully used this approach: 

• food and beverages
• other fast moving consumer goods
• packaging
• clothing and textiles
• consumer durables
• food service
• retailing
• the service sector
• building and decorative materials
• industrial products
