Spire Research and Consulting was established in 2000 to address a gap in the research and consulting industry in global emerging markets. Unlike most agencies that focus on traditional consumer research, our founders saw a profound need for holistic research projects.
These projects integrate traditional customer research with knowledge of the broader business eco-system; for instance, competitors, channels, legal and regulatory factors. They support strategic decision-making for market growth and entry. Our studies provide indispensable tools for creating business plans, setting sales quotas, quantifying budgets and investment as well as making product launch decisions.
Spire exists to undertake such projects with distinction.
Our Name & Logo
A spire literally refers to a tapering conical structure on the top of a building. It has a strong and sturdy base that tapers upwards towards a tiny point.
At Spire, these attributes symbolise our mission and values. We build on strong fundamentals in the form of a great team and great processes. The towering heights of excellence are attained from this solid foundation. Like the sharp pinnacle of the spire, Spire is at the leading edge in research execution and client service.
Spire’s logo is in contrasting shades of grey and orange. Grey is the color that best represents the truth. Most often, reality is neither black nor white but a shade of grey. Orange is a breath of freshness that portrays creativity and innovation.
Spire is the strategic market research firm that reports the truth to our clients – without fear or favor.

Spire has worked with over 50 Global Fortune 1000 firms to solve strategic market growth and entry problems – with the majority of them engaging us on multiple projects and across multiple countries globally. We have also worked with government agencies located in over 15 countries to support export promotion, foreign direct investment attraction and policy formulation programs.
Spire’s footprint spans 18 Asia-Pacific countries as well as the global emerging market regions of Latin America, Russia/CIS/Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa – collectively, the world’s fastest growing region since 2001.
We are the only firm of our kind to be based in, and to focus primarily on, global emerging markets.
Most emerging countries have commonalities that affect research activities; such as a lack of reliable published data, a lack of transparency in industry value chains, as well as cultural and legal issues that impede access to honest customer insights.
A relentless focus on solving emerging market research challenges is a central part of who we are at Spire.
