About GfK TEMAX

GfK Retail and Technology has developed a comprehensive index to track technical consumer goods markets in more than 30 countries worldwide. GfK TEMAX (Technical Market Index) is designed to support decision makers from Industry and Retail in obtaining substantiated facts about their markets.

Reporting is on a quarterly basis at macro level for the following markets:

Reports and press releases are published on a quarterly basis in February, May, August and November.

A like-for-like comparison with the same periods in previous years reveals fundamental developments in the technical consumer goods market in general - one subject to constant change - and also identifies trends and volumes specific to particular market segments (e.g. Information Technology). Explanatory background information, such as the impact of major trade fairs, major sporting events or changes in tax policy, complete the picture.

The statistics are produced in tabular and diagram form. Starting with full year 2008 data, GfK TEMAX reports are available for selected countries together with corresponding press releases in English and local languages on this website. 

The GfK TEMAX findings are based on the retail panel surveys of GfK Retail and Technology which are carried out continuously in over 80 countries worldwide.

GfK Retail and Technology is the world's leading market researcher tracking technical consumer goods in more than 80 countries.
