Ignatov & Company Group was established with Mr. Alexander Ignatov and his partners in 1998, so last year we celebrated 20 years in the market!

Our initial coverage in 1998-2005 was presented with the countries of Central and East Europe. In 2005-2006 we initiated a geographical expansion – we started to make market research and company study projects in Latin America and APAC. Later we have done a series of further expansions – so now we do market research and company intelligence projects literally globally, in entire Europe, in Asia-Pacific (including countries like Japan, China and India), USA, MENA, Sub-Sahara Africa.

In 20 years we have grown from a small company with only few experts to a multinational team working in 40+ research offices worldwide and covering 50 countries in all habitable continents.

2/3 of our people have by two and more higher degrees, and we have 5 Sc.D. and 14 Ph.D. in our staff – all of them are leaders in the industry expert teams. The average work experience of our experts and consultants counts for 25 years – we do not hire people directly after university and prefer to work with those having practical experience in manufacture, business or science; our experts are not those "consultants" who know mining or pharma only by university textbooks – but they are people knowing well the industries and markets we are working in.

Since 1999 we manage a network of more than 600 freelancers worldwide. These freelance experts, consultants and analysts actively participate in these or those of research and consulting projects – expending our full-time staff’s expertise and abilities, and bringing deep knowledge in many specific areas.
