Need to deeply understand tomorrow’s, today’s, and yesterday’s technology markets — who’s using which products and services?

Then you need the Technology User Profile – Datasets from MetaFacts.

Benefits

In TUP/Technology User Profile datasets, you’ll find extensive details on buying habits, usage, and plans in a variety of technology categories, enabling you to drill down to the key information you need to answer questions such as the following:

  • Market size: What is the size of the market? What is the size of the installed base, in total as well as within specific segments? What was that size at a given point in time, and how has that changed within my own market segments?
  • Market opportunities: What are the opportunities in the market? Which segments are under-penetrated, and which are saturated or well-served? How has this changed over time?
  • Demographic landscape: What is the demographic landscape, both for key segments and specific target markets?
  • Activities: How do customers use technology products and services? Which types of users use which devices do which activities?
