Demand analysis gives you a comprehensive view of the customer journey from search to clicks, helping you capture real intent signals. By analyzing search data, you can evaluate genuine intent and analyze a wider audience, complementing social listening and traditional survey insights to paint a more robust picture of consumer trends.

What is the value of Demand Analysis?

Demand Analysis provides powerful consumer demand insights, helping research teams build out their strategies by looking deeper into macro and micro consumer trends. This helps businesses to:

  • Maximize revenue by identifying new growth opportunities and increase digital market share in a highly competitive market 
  • Drive efficiency by aligning products with consumer needs to drive product development efficiency

  Tip: Demand Analysis insights should complement findings from other research methods like surveys and social listening analysis, but also highlight how quickly consumer preferences and habits change - often outpacing the analysis provided by these alternative methods.

With Demand Analysis, you will be able to generate insights quickly and answer market research questions like: 

  • How big is consumer demand in my industry?
  • How is it changing over time?
  • What are the most important macro and micro consumer trends impacting my business?
  • How can I predict trends more effectively to align with product development and marketing efforts?
