What Is FMCG Market Research?

FMCG market research encompasses the qualitative, quantitative and behavioural research methods used to understand consumers, shoppers, competitors and category dynamics across fast-moving consumer goods markets.
It enables organisations to clarify evolving needs, test propositions, optimise pack and format strategy, refine pricing, evaluate in-store performance and validate new product opportunities.
Research also supports retailers by improving shelf layout, merchandising, promotional strategy and category role definition.
Ultimately, FMCG market research provides the evidence required to guide decision-making across brand, product and retail environments—ensuring investments in innovation, communication and experience consistently align with what matters most to consumers and shoppers.

Logos-9-1 FMCG Market Research Services

We worked with Brandspeak on a brand awareness project and we were extremely pleased with the quality of service and the process. They understood the complexity of the briefs and asked plenty of questions to make sure they fully understand the objectives. They interacted with all levels of people in our business and understood the differences within the market and suggested ways to tie the research together so it was still comparable. The results were delivered with easy to digest summaries that could be used across the business. We would highly recommend using them.

Very informative, easy to work with and a really friendly team. I would recommend Brandspeak to help any business grow. They are great quality for money, help niche sectors and present their findings in an understanding manner. They have provided a brand review, market review post-covid to ensure we are still up to date, along with two very valuable website reviews. Working with them for qualitative and quantities research has a been fantastic for us. Thank you for all your help!

We wanted to understand how elements of our brand were perceived by consumers and identify opportunities where we could make improvements. Brandspeak clearly understood the brief and worked closely with us to develop a research approach that would answer our questions. The insight has been used to inform the development of our creative and also applied to other areas of our marketing communications. It was a pleasure to work with Brandspeak.

From their initial proposal they displayed an understanding of financial services and a clarity of thinking that made them stand out. Since then they have consistently delivered to demanding timescales. But what really sets them apart are their actionable and business focused recommendations which give them the credibility to influence senior internal stakeholders. I have really enjoyed working with them and look forward to doing so again.
