Definitions

Panel member
A registered consumer aged 14 or over who has joined the Global Vox Populi panel to take part in research.
Socio-economic class (SEC A–E)
A household classification from A (highest) to E (lowest), based on local definitions of occupation, education and income.
Specialist layers
Members profiled as retail investors or traders, gamers, or people with disabilities. Layers overlap, so a member can be in more than one.

About this data

Figures come from Global Vox Populi's proprietary panel coverage records and show panel membership as of October 2026. They describe the people available on the Global Vox Populi panel, not the total population of consumers in each country. Countries without current panel coverage are not listed. Totals across different Global Vox Populi panels should not be added together, because some people belong to more than one panel.

For live panel coverage and feasibility for a specific study, see the Consumer (B2C) panel explorer or use the survey feasibility calculator.
