What a supplier should look at

  1. Which multi-brand importers buy my product, at a price close to mine, and don't buy from me? That is the list of possible channels in each country.
  2. Which other suppliers does my importer buy from, and at what price? That tells you how much of its portfolio is yours.
  3. Who bought in 2025 and has not bought again in 2026?

How we measure it

Harmonized System headings 0810. Values are declared invoice values at import, at each shipment's incoterm. In Mexico only definitive imports count. Importers are companies: individuals are neither counted nor published. Multi-brand: three or more suppliers in 2025, the largest at 60% or less, with no declared link to the importer. Changes compare the same months of 2025 and 2026, up to the latest month available in each country. Details in our methodology.
