AVEM International is constantly striving to improve the quality of the data collected. The data is processed in a strictly confidential manner through the services of a CPA accounting firm and the AVEM data analyst. Data submitted by a specific company cannot be identified in the final report. A copy of the AVEM International Statistical Program Procedural Guide is available upon request to any interested person.
Consolidated data for each category is presented in tables and charts which illustrate trends and movements in the market. This format allows members to determine the product areas that have potential for growth. Thus, the statistical report assists in planning and updating marketing strategy for each member company. The report also presents total sales data for the domestic and export markets. A representative portion of the Quarterly Statistical Report is shown below.
Members are mailed all reporting forms each quarter, However updated versions of these forms in pdf format are also available on this website for their use.
