Market Research for the
Consumer Durables
Industry

long-lasting
solutions

Unlike other industries, consumer durables have a long timeline for both shoppers and manufacturers. Consumers don’t purchase these pricey items without significant research, discussion, and consideration. And for brands, the process from ideation to  product launch can be as long as five years.

In this way, consumer durable brands have a tougher job than leaders in other industries – they have to predict the future to determine what needs and trends will exist years from now.

key questions
we answer:

  • how will different members of the household use this product?
  • how will future changes in technology impact product performance?
  • which products/features should be in our pipeline?
  • what are the underlying frustrations that inspire new product features? 
  • how can all the features of a complex product be demonstrated in limited retail space?
  • how are consumers researching products throughout their shopping experience?
