LatAm Confidential provides quantitative and qualitative research, framed by informed analysis, designed to highlight the key developing trends in Latin America. Our research provides on-the-ground insight into salient consumer, resource, financial, investment, manufacturing and trade trends.

Our regular proprietary surveys generate macro-, sector- and company-level data covering thousands of consumers and hundreds of businesses across the LatAm region, primarily focusing on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. However, we also are able to draw upon our extensive network of researchers based in the region to provide market-leading insight into less popular investment destinations such as Venezuela and Ecuador, as well as frontier markets, such as Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Panama.

LatAm Confidential incorporates Brazil Confidential, which has been publishing proprietary data on the largest economy in the region since February 2011. www.latamconfidential.com



Netquest is an independent online fieldwork provider for the market research sector in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. We currently have more than 700,000 consumers willing to give us their opinion in 21 countries, and the latest technology in order to manage and survey them.

Founded in Barcelona (Spain) in 2001, Netquest has grown alongside its clients thanks to a firm focus on three strategic values. Firstly, we focus on the development of our own technology. This has allowed us to face up to the challenges of online migration without limitations, with an innovative and ground-breaking focus, and with the most commonly-used online survey tool in the Latin American market. 

Secondly, we focus on creating quality online panels. We wish to contribute to the improvement of market research through online panels designed with high demand, taking on innovative methodologies that clearly impact on the reliability of the data we deliver. We therefore have the only panel in the region certified with the specific ISO26362 standard for access panels.

Our mission is to obtain reliable data via satisfied individuals, thanks to a unique participation incentive system that enables us to obtain plentiful and highly representative samples of the Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese population. Our panels are recruited “by invitation only” and managed locally by country experts in Latin America and Iberia. 

Lastly, we believe in local operations. In these fourteen years of experience working in the sector, we have learned how to value close working relations with our clients. Our local teams in Barcelona, Madrid, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile, Bogotá, New York and Lisbon enable us to maintain these close relations with both the consumers and the researchers. 

Our final goal is to be the Latin American consumer's voice in the world, the company par excellence for any researcher who wishes to obtain reliable data in the region.
