Market research around care, cosmetics, fashion and baby products
An industry that requires a lot of flexibility and agility!
Care products, cosmetics and fashion are subject to fast-moving trends and sometimes short product life cycles. They are among the most researched consumer goods sectors. Accordingly, the demand for speed and flexibility as well as the pressure to innovate are often particularly high. This is all the more true today, as consumers are increasingly questioning and in some cases changing their value systems and consumer behavior due to multiple social challenges - be it the Corona crisis, inflation or climate change.
