CONSUMER SCIENCE

Consumer Science is a scientific discipline consisting of a set of validated theories and methodologies through which it is possible to focus attention on the behavior of the consumer and on the perceptions that generated in relation to the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of the product with different objectives:

  • Identify consumer preferences,
  • Analysis of the gap between real and expected expectations,
  • Analysis of factors useful to minimize market risks, depending on product, packaging or price,
  • Analysis of potential market insights that anticipate consumers’ desire.
