The European view
One market is a read. A continent is a map.
What it is
The cross-market layer. The same five behavioural families across a first wave of Europe, on one comparable footing, so you can see what is structural across the continent and what is specific to your market.
How it's built
Every market is normalised to the same method: search baskets anchored to a stable local term, international brands de-meaned across markets so only the local residual remains, and origin measured from genre so "home-grown" means the same thing everywhere. A number in Spain reads like a number in Sweden.
What you get
- The continental mood map, market by market.
- What is sweeping the whole continent at once versus what is local to you.
- Where a wave breaks differently: the same entrant winning in one market and losing in another.
- The cultural-sovereignty map: where home-grown culture leads and where international travels.
From the data
Revolut is rising across seven of nine markets, but the local champions hold the line in some and cede ground in others: Bizum out-growing it in Spain, bunq in the Netherlands, while it gains on Poste in Italy and mBank in Poland.
