We’ll help you accelerate NPD and innovation

The CPG innovation process is often slowed by subjectivity and operational noise. This costs time, resources, and speed to market.

Mintel replaces this subjectivity with objectivity. We help you focus on Stage Gate Left—the crucial discovery phase—to filter out the noise and optimise your time in NPD and innovation.

We ensure:

  • Objectivity: Fact-based, impartial insights for confident decision-making
  • Clarity: A crystal-clear view of consumer demand and opportunity
  • Confidence: The conviction to make bold, data-backed decisions
  • Speed: A faster time-to-market that drives competitive advantage

Providing clearer, objective inputs to deliver confident, predictive outputs

We make sure the input is as precise as the output needs to be.

Our unique strength lies in owning Stage Gate Left, the discovery stage where we highlight the most viable ideas and filter out noise before it infiltrates your entire process.
