Our Solution

Statista has developed a project approach that combines various research and data collection methods. In order to create a data substructure, secondary research was conducted, with the aim to aggregate existing data on consumers, similar products, and other information. In addition to this secondary research, a quantitative consumer survey was carried out in Europe, Asia, and North America to determine consumer preferences and behavior as well as their willingness to pay. The data collection was complemented by qualitative focus groups to identify consumer attitudes directly related to the product. In sum, the secondary and primary data collections formed the basis for the statistical market model. With this model, well-founded and robust forecasts as to the market potential in the respective countries could be produced.

  • Combination of different methods
  • Consumer survey in 3 continents
  • Focus groups
  • Statistical market and forecast model
