Banknotes as an exemplary representation for purchasing power in general

Purchasing Power Overview

HOW WE DEFINE PURCHASING POWER

Purchasing power refers to the disposable income of a region’s population (net income excluding taxes and social insurance contributions, incl. transfer payments received).

As a supplier of globally consistent and comparable market data, MB-International offers you a wide range of purchasing power indicators and retail-relevant data for numerous countries around the world.

Purchasing power is the most commonly used indicator of consumption potential. It is a suitable planning indicator for the sales of your products and services if their demand depends predominantly on the consumer’s income, and you sell directly or indirectly to the consumer. Particularly in the case of higher-value goods and services, demand or sales depend directly on the level of purchasing power.
