  • Publications: ESOMAR publishes Research World Magazine Connect, published 6 times a year, exploring issues and developments in international research, alongside the blog platform Research World Connect,[11] offering the latest thinking from the data, research and insights industry. ESOMAR also produces the Global Market Research report each year – the only global analysis of market research spend and the Global Prices study, run every two years - a unique guide in the planning and purchasing of market research.

Leadership
