Mintel’s new methodology identifies where the next wave of growth opportunities will emerge – and how to act on them.
CPGs invest in innovation, often without the confidence that they’re backing the right opportunities.
Too many decisions are still made in the dark, with incomplete signals and unclear direction on where future growth will come from.
The result is a constant tension: high stakes, high spend and uncertainty about impact.
Demand & Supply brings together Black Swan Data’s demand signals with Mintel’s product launch data to create a complete, predictive view of opportunity.
It’s helping innovation teams prioritise the right growth opportunities for investment and bring bold new ideas to market.

Case Study: Uncovering flavour whitespace in Vodka, powered by Demand & Supply
With vodka flavour innovation crowded around familiar fruit and sweet profiles, a global spirits brand needed to find where future flavour demand was heading and real whitespace existed.
We mapped 13 flavour platforms across 12+ consumer conversations and product launch data – to reveal where the greatest whitespace opportunities existed.
Revealed where consumers’ flavour demands was outpacing innovation.
Identified two whitespace flavour platforms where the brand could own and win.
Analysed the consumer needs, occasions, cocktails and pairing in each platform.
Created three innovation-ready concepts per platform ready for validation.
