ARIA was established in July 2010 to support and improve the business and integrity of market, opinion, and social research in the Americas. Among the major issues that ARIA will focus on are standards and guidelines, education, self regulation, emerging technologies, business management and development, and relationships with clients and research participants.
ARIA has ten member associations: CEIM-Argentina, ABEP-Brazil, MRIA-Canada, AIM-Chile, ACEI-Colombia, AMAI-Mexico, APEIM-Peru, CASRO-United States, CEISMU-Uruguay and AVAI-Venezuela. These countries together represent about 39% of the global research industry, or US$12.3 billion (€9.3 billion).
