Providing Trade and Market Intelligence

Access to trade and market intelligence is critical to international business success. The provision of innovative, cutting-edge market information to enable improved business decision-making has been at the heart of ITC’s mandate since its foundation in 1964.

ITC’s work in the area of trade and market intelligence is focused on:

• Enhancing global public goods as the foundation for trade and market intelligence;
• Strengthening the skills of local partners in effectively using trade and market intelligence to make business decisions;
• Working with local trade and investment support institutions to improve their trade and market intelligence-related portfolio of services;
• Developing new and innovative approaches to intelligence, including competitive intelligence;
• Facilitating evidence-based policy reform, with a focus on addressing non-tariff obstacles to trade in goods and services.
