BME Market Research

As part of its market research services, the BME collects a wide range of professional key figures and market information that support purchasing decision-makers in their strategic and operational business and help them to stay ahead of the competition.

With its BME-Benchmark - Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Procurement, the BME defines standards for measuring the performance and quality of procurement and enables anonymous comparison with the competition.

The BME-Benchmark Company Cars contains strategic key figures on costs, processes, organization and contract management, which were queried from the participating companies.

The results thus provide valid comparative values that can be used to classify and improve a company's own performance.

To keep abreast of the general economic market situation and the further economic outlook, the BME offers the HCOB Einkaufsmanagerindex Deutschland (EMI), a monthly leading indicator of the forecast economic development in Germany.

In addition, the BME publishes market information that presents developments and trends in order to better understand market-specific movements and to be able to adequately derive risks and opportunities. We currently offer market information on raw materials and freight. Use our know-how and valid market data for your success!

The benchmark contains the average values of all participating companies and mean values of the individual industry groups and turnover classes in order to create a suitable basis for comparison. The range of performance results is shown for each key figure and makes it possible to locate one's own position in the competition and to recognise the areas in which there is potential for optimisation.

In addition to the average values, the BME publishes an edition with the ‘Best in Class’ values, in which the best results for each key figure are shown in detail. Such a list allows conclusions to be drawn as to how much potential there is in your purchasing and where you stand in comparison to the best and which results are potentially achievable with optimised processes.
