Market Monitoring & Tracking

Not having a good overview of your own market is one of the most common reasons for companies to fail. Continuous market monitoring helps you to recognize changes and trends in the market at an early stage and to react to them proactively. ​

Market observation thus provides important and fundamental prerequisites for many entrepreneurial decisions, such as product development, expansion of a company or the marketing approach of a product.​

  • Keeping an eye on customers in order to be able to respond appropriately to wishes and requirements

Our methodology

Qualitative market research

At the beginning of market monitoring or tracking, it is recommended to identify usage habits, attitudes or preferences of consumers within the framework of small group discussions or individual interviews. Particularly in rapidly changing markets, this approach offers insights into trends or needs that may not yet be known. The (newly) gained insights and hypotheses serve as a basis or as a supplement for the content of the actual market monitoring and tracking.

Quantitative market research

To quantify the findings from qualitative market research, it is suitable to conduct a survey with a sufficiently high number of respondents, e.g. a population survey. You can already gain initial insights into the current usage habits, attitudes, preferences of different subgroups (e.g. by gender, age category) from the first wave of monitoring of tracking, through the possibility of cross-sectional analyses. This allows you not only to identify differences and commonalities of these subgroups but also to use them proactively for your strategic decisions.

From the second wave onwards, so called longitudinal analyses are possible, which show changes with regard to usage habits, attitudes and consumer preferences over time, i.e. compared to the previous waves. In order to reliably detect longterm trends, we recommend continuous market monitoring and tracking over a longer period of time, be it quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
