About consumer segments and data collection

When selling a product, you must consider which segment you want to sell it to. Consumer segments can be divided into several groups:

  • geography (e.g. country, region, city),
  • demographics (e.g. young, old, gender),
  • lifestyle (e.g. skaters, vegetarians)
  • organization (e.g. government, retail)

To find data on consumer groups, you can collect data in different ways. You can either go out and talk to the consumers yourself or use secondary sources that have done some of the work for you. Of course, the latter is not adapted to your specific needs, but it is time-saving.

Euromonitor is constantly producing new reports and analyses on consumers around the world. You can find data on all kinds of segments in the Passport database.
