An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.
The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

This report analyses the market for building thermal insulation in the UK and segments the market by:
MSI have a policy of rounding numbers from five up to the net significant figure. Consequently, financial data may differ from source documents. All values quoted are at current prices, unless otherwise specified.
MSI believe that the market for internal wall insulation is in long-term decline. It is estimated that the value of the market decreased by 8 percent to £13.2 million (21.3 million) between 1996 and 1999, with a further decline of 2 percent projected to occur in 2000.
In comparison with other types of wall insulation, internal wall insulation requires extensive alterations to the inside of a property. MSI believe that this has constrained its penetration in to the refurbishment market and has been one of the main reasons behind the decrease in the size of the market in recent years. The construction industry is believed to have been affected by a period of stagnation in the UK economy from the fourth quarter of 1998 to the second quarter of 1999.
MSI believe that this impacted in particular on industrial construction output, as manufacturers cut capital expenditure programmes. However, in the latter half of 1999 significant increases in UK economic activity were recorded.
