Summary

“City Profile - Edinburgh” provides historical and forecast data on key city level metrics along with analytical coverage of the latest political, economic, social, technological, infrastructural, legal and environmental issues affecting Edinburgh.

The report contains detailed tourism, retail, construction, technology and public infrastructure data and insight into economic, social, and industry trends.

Edinburgh city, located in central eastern Scotland, is the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh is the UK's largest financial services center after London, a major banking center, and a key European center for asset management and asset servicing. In 2024 the metropolitan area contributed 1.7% of the UK’s total GDP and recorded 1.4% real growth, supported by resilient business conditions, strong employment, and expanding innovation activity.

Scope
  • The service sector remains the key contributor to the regional economy and the major employer.
  • Edinburgh’s visitor economy is expanding, with demand supported by its strong cultural calendar, distinctive heritage offer, and coordinated destination management, but the benefits are being tempered by weaker spending performance and cost pressures across the sector.
  • Construction is being propelled by a strong mix of public infrastructure upgrades and large, multi‑year housing-led regeneration schemes that are reshaping key gateways and waterfront areas.
Reasons to Buy

  • Analyze and understand the business environment in the city to align your investment and expansion strategies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
