“New entrants have become the main driver of luxury car sales volume growth and have rebuilt the competitive landscape of the luxury car market. All brands are stepping up their efforts on intelligence and electrification. Compared to the past, luxury car owners today are no longer satisfied with comfortable driving and riding experience when the car is in motion, but they are increasingly expecting to enjoy satisfying and diversified car space usages when not driving the car. These usage occasions can include entertainment, eating, drinking and even reading as well as working. At the same time, relatively niche and unique experiences such as outdoor activities like camping can also be an opportunity to attract luxury car owners.”

                                                                Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

                                                                It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

                                                                Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

                                                                There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

                                                                However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

                                                                Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

                                                                At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.

                                                                Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman

                                                                We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

                                                                Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

                                                                Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson

                                                                When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

                                                                They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

                                                                So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
