Important Note

Israeli Union of Research Institutes restates 2011 market growth rate

The Israeli Union of Research Institutes has provided ESOMAR with new information regarding the performance of the Israeli Market Research industry in 2011, reflecting an absolute decline of 2%.

This feedback – which was received by ESOMAR only after the publication of the 2012 Global Market Research (GMR) report in September – suggests the Israeli Market Research sector is more likely to have an estimated value of USD 55 million in 2011.

The Israeli Union of Research Institutes now provides the following contextual information, explaining the weakened performance of the Israeli Market Research sector in 2011:

  • ‘‘Massive public protests in 2011 in Israel, which paralysed marketing activities for most major companies in the Israeli retail market, led to budget cutting in: advertisement, market research and even product development. Most Israeli market research agencies (union members) have reported a negative effect on respective research funds.’’
  • ‘‘The aforementioned protests have led to changes in the Israeli consumer's shopping habits. The prices of products and services have become much more significant factors in customer acquisition decision making, so that today most of the companies' strategies are tactical, i.e. adapting prices in order to match consumer expectation. In a situation such as this, assigning funds to market research decreases, as well as the need to examine strategic decisions due to research.
  • ‘‘In addition, Israeli regulators have become more involved in some Israeli consumption affairs. For example in the telecommunication sector, the government has increased the allowed quota for active players in the market, resulting in a dramatic reduction in telecommunication prices. This reduction, positive as it may be for the consumer, has taken its toll on the research market. The veteran telecom companies, which used to lead this market, have suffered heavy losses, thus cutting back on marketing and research activities.

ESOMAR recommends taking into account the above statement when using data pertaining to the Israeli market research sector. For more information on Global Market Research 2012, please contact Eelco Snip via e.snip@esomar.org
