Everyone at IGD is working to share insight.
From leading research on international business issues to listening to consumer opinion, our goal is always to inspire positive action through information.

It is our people that set us apart. Our 100-strong team includes over 30 analysts, all of whom have industry experience. Our industry knowledge and technical expertise enable us to add real value to our members and customers, equipping them with an understanding of the issues and actionable insights to address them. We regularly meet with retailers and suppliers around the world and travel extensively to gather first-hand knowledge of international markets, both developed and emerging.

We track and analyse retailers, markets and consumers to provide insightful, topical and thoughtprovoking research. In the past year alone, we have undertaken unique projects with over 120 companies in 25 countries. We’d love to work with you too. Let IGD be the extra member of your team.
