Global Markets And Competition

The 5 phases of Xerfi Global’s
Global Markets And Competition reports
Identification of the playing field

At Xerfi Global, we believe that international classifications are not the only valid definition of a market. It is the companies that make the sector and not vice-versa. During our first brainstorming session, we strive to give a clear-cut definition of the scope of the report.

Identification of market leaders

During the second phase, Xerfi Global’s analysts identify the players who will be studied in the report. Our aim is not only to classify by total sales, but also to detect tomorrow’s movers and shakers, especially those from emerging markets.

Identification of the main market indicators

Using the best and most up to date international sources, Xerfi Global’s experts handpick the most relevant indicators pertaining to both supply and demand.

Identification of corporate strategies

During a further brainstorming session, the Xerfi Global team aims to decipher the main corporate strategies and key future trends.

Identification of the key conclusions

Thanks to a final brainstorming session, drawing on the knowledge of all the members of Xerfi Global, the main conclusions are debated and ultimately summed up in no more than a dozen slides. Concision, precision and accurate forecasts are our main aims.
