Market and sector research

You can access the following market and sector research services.

Online Market Information Service (OMIS)

OMIS provides tailor-made market reports produced by commercial officers at embassies and other diplomatic posts throughout the world. The cost of these reports ranges from £400 to £1600, depending on the amount of time spent researching the information. The website offers more information on pricing and how to commission a report.

Export Marketing Research Scheme (EMRS)

Successful exporters consider their entry into new markets with care. You may wish to carry out export marketing research to obtain intelligence on a number of specific topics.

Companies with fewer than 250 employees may be eligible for a grant of up to 50 per cent of the agreed cost of market research projects.
