Founded in the 1980s, IMS Research is a privately-owned and independent supplier of consultancy services and market research on a wide range of global electronics markets. The company also has a conferences division, which focuses on the organization of international summits that explore the real world implementations of leading edge technologies.

IMS Research’s initial success as a provider of market research was heavily influenced by the founding analysts’ experience in the semiconductor industry. However, since its establishment, IMS Research has consistently experienced strong growth and has broadened its focus to provide detailed information on a wide range of electronic markets in addition to semiconductors, such as wireless communications, automotive, consumer, power, factory automation, security and medical. The company publishes close to 100 reports annually, and sells to more than 40 countries worldwide.

Today IMS Research has analysts spread across three locations: offices in Austin, Texas, USA, and Shanghai, China, and its headquarters in Wellingborough, UK. A global presence enables the company to provide clients with comprehensive and detailed research on today’s international markets.
