Market research database Euromonitor Passport replaces MarketLine Advantage
19-11-2021
Practical experience (tested within education at THUAS) has shown that the database Euromonitor Passport offers more detailed (coverage and granularity) and more targeted information (for B2C and B2B market research) for marketing plans. We therefore decided to replace the database MarketLine Advantage with Euromonitor Passport. Until December 31, 2021, both databases are still accessible via the A-Z databases list. From January 1, 2022, MarketLine Advantage will disappear from the list and you can only use Euromonitor Passport to conduct international market research.
