IMS Research

IMS Research was founded in 1989 and is now one of the leading suppliers of detailed, quality market research to the global electronics industry. The company publishes close to 100 reports annually, and sells to more than 40 countries worldwide.

IMS Research’s initial success as a provider of market research was heavily influenced by its close ties to the semiconductor industry.

Over the last ten years, however, the company has broadened its focus and now provides detailed information on a wide range of electronic markets, such as wireless communications, automotive, consumer, power, factory automation and security.

Although a significant part of IMS Research’s business is centred around the production of off-the-shelf or syndicated market studies, increasingly it is focusing on client-specific research. In recent years IMS Research’s archive of electronics market statistics has proved invaluable in developing marketing solutions for a wide range of companies.

A Global Perspective

Our global research is supported by offices in Europe (Wellingborough, UK), North America (Austin, Texas) and Asia (Shanghai, China), as well as agents in South Korea and Japan. IMS Research’s presence on three continents, the global acumen of our analysts, and the international focus of our research, allows for a sound worldwide perspective on a range of markets.

Proven Success

Since its inception, IMS Research has experienced an unprecedented level of growth. From humble beginnings in the UK, the company now has over 60 analysts, offices spanning 3 continents, sales to over 40 countries worldwide, and 30%+ annual growth for the last five years. IMS Research has been so successful that it was awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade. Our client base serves as further testament to the value of our research and unfailing commitment to quality. We serve the top ten suppliers to each of the wireless communications, automotive, consumer, power, industrial automation, security, and medical markets.

Unparalleled Customer Service

IMS Research was founded on the principle that the customer comes first. Throughout our expansion and rapid growth as a company, that value has remained central to our core philosophy. This is demonstrated by the unprecedented level of analyst access provided to our clients, the consistently prompt and personal response of analysts to queries, and in the auxiliary services offered to clients, such as individual discussions of research results, analyst presentations, and marketing collaboration. We combine the attention typically afforded by small firms, with the research power and proven success of a larger firm.

Integrity

We are privately-owned and independent, allowing us to remain unwavering in our tradition of honesty and integrity as a research and consultancy firm. Many of our clients, who have become wary of the hasty and over-called market assessments of our competitors, appreciate our unfailing commitment to quality, which is evident in our rational and unbiased approach to market forecasts. Our information is highly regarded by clients who know that they can depend on us to produce well constructed and argued market forecasts.
