Trackers
Consumer Edge has created regular tracking surveys to keep clients on top of key trends in the US and the most important emerging markets. All Consumer Edge Trackers are conducted among large representative samples in each country.
Geographic Market Intelligence Trackers use an extensive battery of economic and attitudinal questions to track macro trends and understand how they drive purchase behaviors for a broad range of consumer product categories and services.
Industry Trackers are designed to provide an in-depth view of recent customer purchase behaviors across all channels and key insights into the drivers of those behaviors.
Thematic Trackers provide clients with an in-depth assessment of a key trend impacting consumers, assess the drivers and sustainability of the trend, and identify which companies are best-positioned to succeed.
