Alterations/Additions

All additions and new functionality will be incorporated at no additional charge

New additions as of the renewal of this Agreement in December 2021 include the following:

• New Passport Interface.  The Passport Interface was updated October 25^th November 2021 to make it both easier to navigate, and more accessible. More information can be found here: 2021 New Passport Interface Video.
• Accessibility Changes.  The new Passport Interface has brought with it increased keyboard and screen-reader compatibility, allowing users to know where they are on the page, tracing their way up and down hierarchy trees. Further alterations are planned for older Passport pages to ensure full accessibility across the platform.
• Increased Industry Coverage – Packaged Food Industries 2021-22.  We’ve split the “Packaged Foods” industry into 4 distinct Industries in their own right, elevating and increasing the content available under each. Expect 3-4x the number of briefings, content pieces, webinars, and blogs than were previously available on Packaged Foods. The new industries are listed below
  • Cooking Ingredients and Meals
  • Dairy Products and Alternatives
  • Snacks
  • Staple Foods
• Increased Industry Coverage – Future Industry Additions.  Over the next year we’re planning to increase the number of industries available under the base Academic subscription from 27 to 32 Industries. The industries being added to the subscription are still TBD but work is under way to adapt and introduce content that’s currently not available under the base subscription.
• Increased Pricing Coverage – Future Pricing Data Additions  Utilising our new web technology, we’re looking to incorporate E-Commerce pricing into a variety of industries as a guide to fluctuations or changes in a wide range of markets. This should give a more up-to-date and reliable picture of product pricing.
• COVID Content.  Toward the beginning of the pandemic, new reports were released to tackle the initial impact of Coronavirus on the global market, and has time has gone on, COVID analysis as been incorporated into the body of most reports to help users both understand the challenges local markets face, and to help guide users to new opportunities and changes in consumer expectation.
• COVID Models.  We developed and introduced visual models to forecast the impact of Coronavirus on markets around the world. This model has a baseline scenario, alongside positive and pessimistic scenario modelling to help users understand the potential impact of Coronavirus if circumstances change. This allows for better planning and discussion about the future.
• Forecast Changes.  We’ve introduced quarterly forecast updates for 14 industries, and up to 54 countries, to ensure you’re getting up to date information that accounts for an ever-changing and uncertain market environment.
  • Alcoholic Drinks
  • Beauty and Personal Care
  • Consumer Appliances
  • Consumer Electronics
  • Consumer Health
  • Home Care
  • Hot Drinks
  • Cooking Ingredients and Meals
  • Dairy Products and Alternatives
  • Snacks
  • Staple FoodsSoft Drinks
  • Tissue and Hygiene
  • Tobacco
• New Access Methods.  We’ve introduced “Domain Access” to the Academic space to make accessing Passport easier for everyone involved! Domain Access allows users with the correct domain identifier (@Uni.ac.uk) to register an account directly with the Passport database. From there on, they can log directly into the system from anywhere, whether that’s on campus or at home.   Multiple Domains can be registered if you have additional or partnered users.
• Updates to Existing Access Methods.  User registration has been a topic of discussion over the past few years, and we’ve listened. We’ve introduced a new “Basic Registration” page as our first step toward removing the need for registration pages completely. The new Basic Registration page simply asks for an email address, so that we can verify the user’s access permissions for the database.  Future plans are to remove the need for the email address at all if using Shibboleth or OpenAthens.
• New Political, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) Reports.  We’ve begun releasing new PEST reports to the Passport database that utilise our extensive socioeconomic data and forecasts from multiple Economic and Consumer systems. PEST reports include both graphic and textual analysis and are presented in a standardised layout across the full 210 countries we cover, enabling cross-country comparison regardless of the geography you’re working with.  
• Updated Search Methods.  We’ve introduced a new search method that utilises report tagging. You’ll find a list of “themes” on your Passport industry pages, that allow you to search our reports database for any analysis related to the topic you’re interested in. This will hopefully make content discovery easier for students and staff accessing Passport.
