Background information

Job Security ESOMAR's GMR does not give a global industry employee number, per se.

A proxy

However, it reports that the 25 largest market research companies employed 135,700 people at the end of 2015. We gross up this number with their share of turnover, which gives us an estimated number of 267,700 employees worldwide.

Productivity declined

In recent years, the number of employees has risen stronger than turnover of the Top 25. This fall in productivity gives food for thought regarding the overall trend of adoption of improved technology, the increasing potential for automation, and price pressures from commoditisation.
