Founded in 1993, Xerfi is the essential reference for sectoral studies to shed light on understanding the real economic world, and stimulate decision-making through excellent knowledge of companies, their environment, their competition and their performance. For 30 years, the group has developed around 3 areas:
Xerfi Etudes: publishing of sectoral studies and competitive analyzes;
Xerfi Specific: tailor-made studies, data collection thanks to its survey center;
Xerfi Canal: production and distribution of video content on the economy, business strategy and management.
The group is one of the only players to control the entire information value chain, from data collection, digital processing, analysis to their dissemination via written and audiovisual electronic media. This internalization of skills has enabled the group to continually improve the quality and diversity of its offering as well as the productivity of its teams.
