Its 2025 annual report records revenue of US$4,198.4m, up from US$3,972.6m in 2024, and gives its corporate headquarters as Chicago, Illinois.[1] The company completed a combination with GfK SE on 10 July 2023 and listed through an initial public offering in July 2025.[1] NIQ says its coverage spans 90 countries and about 82% of the world’s population, and that it leases or owns property in about 206 locations across 81 countries.[1] Its main clients are consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, which use its data for market share, pricing and promotion analysis.
