Control fields and values based on market

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Salesforce, do any of you have experience with country/market specific fields and/or values? 

The company (Saas) I work for is growing fast and we are realizing we need to add more and more values to a few picklist fields to adapt to the different markets and we don't want to have a long list of picklist values.

I've done a bit of research on this and a possible solution would be to control picklist values based on the User Profile. That means we would need to create new user profiles. 

Is there anyone who can share the pros and cons of this? Is there smarter solution?

Hi Ankaiah,

Thanks for the answer. That means that I need to create record type for each market, right?
