Consumer panel

At Normec Foodcare, real consumers evaluate food products, concepts, recipes and packaging. After all, they are the ones who buy the product, buy it again and decide whether it will be successful or not. Every month, more than 1,000 products are tested by our panel.

Benefit from a test in the consumer panel

At least 75 consumers per test
Consumers between the ages of 18 and 67
Approximately 65% women, 35% men
Individual target group definition possible
Panel surveys in test centres, online or in-home possible

Panel composition

At least 75 consumers between the ages of 18 and 67 are surveyed per test. Our panels are made up of around 65% women and 35% men, thus representing a cross-section of the purchasing population.

Target

The panel participants can also be selected individually according to customer specifications. It is possible to filter the panel according to various criteria such as gender, age or dietary preferences. This means, for example, that only participants who follow a vegan diet can be surveyed.

Panel tests throughout the entire product life cycle

Surveys by our panel can be conducted during the development phase, before and after market launch. Whether in a test centre, online or in-home.

Consumer panel testing – why?

With a test in the consumer panel, you will receive

insight into the consumer preferences of your target group
immediate consumer feedback on current and new products
a quick and efficient sensory comparison of various recipes, or of your own products with those of your competitors
