Subscribers have privileged access to restricted sections of the site for all the Product Maps to which they subscribe.

The Product Map Web site consists of 72 Market Analysis Portals, each focusing on a product cluster ranging from agricultural machinery to fruit juice or wood products. Each Product Map has been designed to offer extensive business information 'for going global' and cover both quantitative and qualitative market information. The combination of both qualitative market intelligence and statistical data in a web-based portal offers visitors and subscribers to the Product Map Web Site a virtual one-stop platform designed to assist in the preparation of strategic and operational trade development plans.

Over 5,000 products, grouped in 72 clusters and traded by over 180 countries and territories are covered in the Product Map Web Site. View Cluster List.

Each Product Map provides three types of tools:

1. Market Positioning tools, only available to Subscribers, which offer in an interactive environment, extensive international trade statistics on over 180 countries and 5,000 products, as well as detailed information on best performing products, market sizes, trade flows, regional trends and country-based macro-economic indicators.

2. Networking Tools, which identify business contacts and companies, or 'Market Makers', active in the product sectors covered by each Product Map. In addition, this module offers storefront facilities allowing companies to set up their own presence on the net. Rights to create and post a Storefront requires a subscription.

ITC welcomes contacts from Trade Support Institutions (TSIs) willing to assist in the dissemination of Product Map to enterprises and trade associations in their own country. Special subscription rates have been designed for TSIs.

Fast reaction to global market developments, knowledge of competitors' activities and a clear understanding of international clients' needs are one of the keys to successful export marketing. But the challenge remains for companies and organizations in developing countries where relevant, reliable and structured market intelligence is not always instantly accessible. Product Map's high quality, deeper insights into global markets, ideally complement ITC's other market analysis tools - Country Map and TradeMap, to assist companies and TSIs in addressing this challenge.
