Market Share Reporter is an annual publication that offers exactly what the title suggests: comparative market statistics for companies, brands, and services. How does Tim Hortons stack up against the competition, globally? Who are the top craft beer makers worldwide? Where in the world is the strongest market for future sales of smartphones? And will Samsung succeed in its bid to dominate the smartphone market?
Data is pulled from articles in a wide range of business publications, and all data sources are cited.
Also available online is a related publication,
Market Share Reporter: Trends over Time, which offers a collection of market share data from the top 50 subjects covered in over 20 years of
Market Share Reporter, including industry overviews, timelines, and more.
