Consumer Goods & Retail Market Research & Consulting
Consumer goods and retail markets are decided at the shelf, the checkout page and the subscription renewal, where a price change, a packaging rule or a new sales channel can move demand within a season. This page brings together the Douglas Insights studies on products households and shoppers buy, from beauty and personal care to home and garden equipment, luxury and leisure goods, packaging, personal care and small kitchen appliances, pet technology and toys and hobby products. Buyers come here to see units and prices separately, so they can tell whether growth comes from more buyers or from trading up. The largest markets covered are cosmetics, worth USD 98.6 billion in 2025, luggage at USD 43.6 billion and luxury yacht building at USD 11.6 billion, followed by smart home security cameras at USD 8.45 billion, analysed in the Smart Home Security Cameras Market study, where subscriptions now matter as much as hardware. The fastest growth comes from connected and monitored products: pet health monitoring systems grow 13.0% a year, the Cold Chain Temperature Monitoring Labels Market grows 11.6% a year as food and medicine retailers track every pallet, and smart textiles grow 11.3% a year. The Health Self Monitoring Technologies Market study follows the same shift from prescription devices to consumer purchases. Every forecast runs to 2035.

Answers at a glance
Questions the Consumer Goods & Retail practice answers
Is e-commerce modelled separately from retail?
Yes. Online and offline demand carry separate volume and price lines, because channel mix is where most consumer categories are gaining or losing value today.
Do you cover private label?
Yes. Private label share and price gaps are tracked per category where data allows, since they set the ceiling on branded pricing power.
Can you run consumer research for a launch?
Yes. Launch programs combine sized category demand with primary consumer research on proposition, price and channel, delivered as one engagement.
