Consumer Packaged Goods

Whether old favourites or innovative challengers, FMCG brands touch the lives of most consumers multiple times each day. Kantar helps you deliver the goods. Consumers' desire for physical goods covering both life's essentials and lifestyle choices remains a constant. But everything about meeting these desires is in flux. Personal health and the shared environment have moved up the agenda for many individuals and governments. How, where, what and why people consume is influenced by the evolving world they live in. Not only do FMCG brands need to anticipate trends, they also need to deal with changing routes to market and retailer offers.

Energy & Utilities

As perceptions around energy change, we provide vital insights around sustainability, growth and purpose, in order to spark innovation and create a powerful brand. With an accelerating change in consumer perception around climate change and the environment, the energy industry finds itself at a crossroads – maintaining their reputation and preparing their brands for a world beyond oil and gas into sustainable energy and adjacent categories, while continuing a progressive and transparent debate on the important role fossil fuels play in sustaining consumers' modern-day lives.

Fashion, Beauty & Luxury

The worlds of fashion, beauty and luxury goods are changing in various, often contradictory, ways. Technology and new entrants are changing consumer expectations, pushing innovation, and encouraging established brands to think differently about products, packaging and routes to market. Understanding the lives and beliefs of your target consumer is crucial, as these are sectors where emotional connections really matter. We are increasingly choosing to purchase fashion, cosmetics and other goods based on a brand's ethics; environmental credentials, related messaging, and inclusive advertising. We help you define what your portfolio of brands stand for, in a way that connects meaningfully with consumers, and to create the right impression in all your marketing and retail channels.

Financial Services

With insights around changing customer expectations and the competitive banking landscape, Kantar can ensure you stay on the money. Many forces are shaping financial services: government intervention to increase competition, disruptors challenging long-standing business models, new digital currencies, and advances in technology. Barriers to entry are falling all the time and those that aren't disruptors themselves will be disrupted. Brands need to be imaginative in rethinking what their role is in consumers' lives.
