The current EPS methodology consists in the collection of empty packs thrown away by consumers in the streets of the main cities of a given market. Each pack is individually recorded in a datasheet and analyzed by Industry experts, who assess whether it is a domestic or non-domestic pack and whether it is a genuine or counterfeit pack. Data is consolidated and a report is issued.
Focused Market Survey (FMS)

Focused Market Surveys (FMS) are designed to isolate and analyze problems in a specific location or a specific distribution channel. Our focused surveys are a powerful tool for thoroughly examining the scope of a well-defined and geographically limited phenomenon.
Manufacturers and organizations can gain preliminary information, investigate market trends and complaints regarding the availability of illicit products or unfair competition in particular distribution channels or points of sale.
The FMS can be used alone or as a supplement to a larger General Market Survey or Industrial Market Survey. Surveys are highly tailored to meet clients needs and to address the specific issues in question.
