What sets BCG Expand apart:
Our methodology and organization
We collect raw data and apply it to our proprietary industry taxonomy, creating a mirror image of a client’s business. This allows for detailed, like-for-like comparisons across firms and functions.
The granularity and relevance of our data
Built over two decades, our database is continuously refreshed—monthly or annually—giving clients access to timely, highly detailed insights across markets, business lines, and regions.
Low client lift, high-impact delivery
We take the operational burden off our clients. From data extraction to normalization and mapping, we handle the heavy lifting to deliver clean, comparable insights with minimal client effort.
Independent insight with integrated support
As part of BCG, we offer clients the best of both worlds: access to independent, high-quality data and the option to work with BCG’s expert strategic teams where needed.
