Our client required a market overview and specific market segment data for their product categories for the Mexican Automotive Aftermarket. CIMA International provided a complete Mexican Automotive Aftermarket analysis including, vehicles in operation, overall market size in dollars, distribution mapping from manufacturer to end user, major distributors and retailers by distribution segment. Additionally, CIMA provided pricing information, estimated volumes, target clients by geographic territory and forecasted revenue specific to the clients product categories.
Brand Awareness Study Example

Cima International provided a report identifying the top brands for each of this clients product offering in Mexico; as well as, brand recognition by region and territories and Top of Mind brands by product type. This report clearly identified the areas of strength already possessed by the client in Mexico; as well as, the areas which needed additional focus and support to continue to grow.
