DESCRIPTION:
The Freedonia Group publishes about 120 industry research studies annually. Their industry analysis provides an unbiased outlook and a reliable assessment of an industry and includes product and market forecasts, industry trends, threats and opportunities, competitive strategies, market share determinations and company profiles. More than 90% of the industrial companies in the Fortune 500 use Freedonia research to help with their strategic planning.
The Freedonia team works closely together to provide consistency and accuracy. Their team includes an Economics Group, Industry Research Groups, a Corporate Analysis Group, and an Editorial Group. This in-house structure not only ensures accuracy and consistency, but it also provides a valuable system of checks and balances and allows research teams to share information from all industries.
A team of analysts begins by scouring trade publications, government source books, proprietary databases, product literature, and annual and industry reports to find out what industry professionals have to say. To this Freedonia adds information gained by extensive interviews with major players as well as knowledgeable industry participants.
The information is then analyzed and distilled into a Freedonia study - complete with product and market forecasts, critical industry trends, threats and opportunities, competitive strategies, and market share determinations. Then the conclusions are verified through intensive interviewing of top ranking companies in the industry.
The major industries covered by Freedonia studies include chemicals, plastics, packaging, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, building materials, industrial components, equipment and machinery, automotive and other transportation equipment, and security services and equipment. Freedonia industry studies are used to determine market and sales potential, learn about competitors, assess new products and technologies, identify merger and acquisition targets, complement internal research and planning, gather data for presentations, and obtain unbiased viewpoints.
Freedonia Group analysts thoroughly investigate an industry by extensively interviewing key industry participants - both major players and other knowledgeable individuals in an industry - and by reviewing trade publications, government information, trade association data, product literature, annual reports, and relevant industry reports. Freedonia’s customers include major US and international companies in the manufacturing, services, and financial sectors. Ninety percent of the Fortune 1000 companies, as well as smaller organizations and consultants, are regular users of Freedonia studies.
