Shopper Insight in the Age of Quick Commerce

Q-commerce changes the shopper journey from weekly stock-up to 10-minute impulse. Research has to keep up.

Shopper Insight in the Age of Quick Commerce

Introduction

Dark stores, 10-minute delivery and app-first discovery are rewriting category rules for FMCG, grocery and personal care.

The Trend

Shopper research now blends in-app behavior, receipt scanning, mobile diaries and post-purchase surveys to reconstruct the new journey and identify winning pack sizes, prices and placements.
