What AMA Research does

AMA Research is a privately held UK-based market research publisher founded in 1989 and headquartered in Cheltenham, United Kingdom. The company produces off-the-shelf market reports, forecast bulletins, and databases, with documented coverage spanning the construction and building products sector (distributed through partners such as Barbour ABI's report store) as well as emerging growth verticals including electric vehicles and renewable energy certificates.

The company's core product is sector-specific market intelligence reports delivered as discrete publications tied to defined forecast windows (e.g., UK 2024-2028, 2025-2029 editions). Reports contain market size projections, CAGR forecasts, competitive landscape analysis, and identification of market drivers and challenges. The underlying capability is proprietary market sizing and forecasting methodology accumulated over 35+ years of continuous publication, repackaged across editions and verticals.

AMA Research operates with a small team of 11-50 employees under founder-led ownership (Keith Taylor, Founder/Owner) with marketing led by Anna Eriksson (Head of Department / Marketing Manager). The company has no publicly disclosed pricing, no app or API products, and no documented AI or ML capabilities. Revenue is generated through direct sales of report subscriptions and one-off purchases, distributed through industry news publications (altenergymag), press release channels (openpr), and sector-specific storefronts (Barbour ABI). The customer base is broad and horizontal, targeting industry stakeholders in construction, EV, renewable energy, and adjacent sectors seeking market intelligence on a global basis.
