Further Sources

In this section we include important websites such as trade bodies or trade associations relevant to the market. All sources whose data we have used in the report and who have given us permission to use their data are represented here.

All secondary sources in local and global languages are scoured, from government statistics to trade magazines. As the Snapdata model is unique as a product and non-competitive to specialist publishers, the company has also been able to develop strong relationships with companies such as Gartner and ACNielsen, who provide secondary data points to cross check research.

Snapdata aims for 3 to 4 data points for each table, and no secondary data point will be used without written permission from the original source, which not only verifies the quality, but also provides the integrity to use the data. Once all secondary sources have been exhausted, the language specialist researcher will then complete semi-structured telephone interviews with the major companies in the industries to cross check and verify all data available.

Benefits of the Snapshots Reports

The Snapdata product range is designed to save time for clients by providing an industry data overview, market size, shares and forecasts; verified with full sourcing.

Easy to search, quick to access, and clear and concise to use: Snapdata reports can save 40% of resources in those early stages of a project. Sometimes just a report from the Snapshots Series is all that is required for an internal client's first request. But when the project develops, the reports also help your internal research team prepare a fuller picture for their end-users utilizing the further sources provided in each report for industry drivers and analytical information, enabling them to provide a more detailed document based on solid figures but tailored to the end-users' requests.

Production schedule

Snapdata reports are published throughout the year. Focusing on when the most reliable data is available to research, additional new requested titles and expansion of the range follow market demand. For example 200 automotive titles were published before March 2005 with full year-end 2004 data across 35 countries. Retail, which is a hugely fragmented sector, especially in developing markets, is published throughout the year, as the most reliable data becomes available and can be verified from multiple sources.
