Talk to our retail team

Our retail and consumer economics practice covers advisory across a range of industries focusing on analysing and interpreting the multifaceted relationships between consumers, retailers, and the overarching economic environment.

Private sector economic and consumer behaviour analysis

The consumer sector is characterised by its dynamic nature, where shifts in consumer preferences and spending patterns can significantly impact business outcomes. Our economics consultants specialise in deciphering these patterns and predicting future trends, offering invaluable guidance to retailers and consumer goods companies.

Using economic tools and methodologies to analyse consumer data, assess market potential, and identify growth opportunities our expertise extends to advising on product development, marketing strategies, and supply chain management.

Public policy and regulatory guidance for the retail sector

The retail and consumer sectors are a critical component of the global economy. We’ve advised policy makers and regulators in these sectors on their goals to achieve fair practices and market stability. From regulations and policy that foster healthy competition, ensure market transparency and promote sustainable business practices, to encouraging innovation, protecting consumer rights, and ensure ethical business conduct. We’ve worked across product safety, advertising standards, fair pricing and more.
