Consumer Goods & Retail

The consumer goods and retail sector is highly heterogeneous and is the biggest services sector by a large margin. Due to the position of this sector with linking producers and final consumers, the sector naturally plays a large part in the socio-economic growth of many emerging market countries.<br /><br />The two largest companies that EMIS provides market analysis on are China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and Petrochina Company Limited. These companies are both based in China, exemplifying the significant part that China plays in this industry. In China, the sales from this sector has been rising between 4% and 25% each quarter over the past few years. As an emerging country China has been striving to meet the demand of both online and offline sales and is now responsible for generating significant revenue in ecommerce sales worldwide.<br /><br />As this sector consists of a range of different areas, EMIS extracts its information from a range of top information providers to provide holistic insights into this industry.
