- Format
- Tabular — household × item × week transaction files, panel weights, retailer/brand/category aggregates; delivered as licensed panel extracts, dashboards and bespoke cuts
- Volume
- Billions of item-level purchase observations per year: hundreds of thousands of households × multiple shopping trips per week × tens of basket items, barcode-resolved, spanning most consumer-goods categories and all retail channels, held continuously since the late 1980s in the longest-running markets
- Users
- Panel households rather than registered users: est. hundreds of thousands of participating households per major country and several million globally across the panel franchise (inferred from its positioning as the largest consumer panels globally across many markets); the vendor does not publish a single consolidated household count

- Growth
- Mature with active modernisation — the core retail-audit and household-panel franchise is long-established (group revenue band ~$2.5bn, ~25,000 staff, parent group ownership following a merger/acquisition event), and the current estate is being extended with digital/ecommerce and media-measurement panels alongside a data-marketplace route to market
- Launched
- Retail-audit and household-panel lineage traces to the mid-1980s (1983-1987 across markets); consolidated as Kantar from 1993 when the research and consulting arms were brought together
