New market research database

Global market research company Euromonitor International announced today the launch of Passport: Cities, a database providing fully comparable data and in-depth analysis on 850 cities worldwide.Passport: Cities provides localized city economic profiles and analysis on consumers. Analysis is based on urban economic theory and was developed by Euromonitor’s extended global network of in-country analysts.

“Passport: Cities looks at consumers and the economic profiles of cities around the globe. For example, in terms of both population and real per capita GDP, we can look globally to find extremely strong growth through 2020 in Chinese cities. Since Chinese economic growth and job creation takes place primarily in cities, people migrate from rural to urban areas on a very large scale,” explains Kotryna Gailiute, City Project Manager at Euromonitor International. “In per capita GDP creation the winners will not be Beijing or Shanghai, but the less well-known metropolises, such as Wuhan and Tianjin.”
