Why are consumer trials getting more important?

As the global wellness industry surges toward a projected $1.8 trillion market, consumers—especially Millennials and Gen Z—are prioritizing data-driven, science-backed health solutions over vague claims or unverified wellness trends. Data shows that a majority of consumers now expect clinically credible information, with nearly 50% favoring clinically proven products over "clean" alternatives. This shift underscores the mounting pressure on brands to substantiate their offerings with authentic, consumer-derived data.

In parallel, the growth of home biomonitoring and wearable technology—with roughly 50% of consumers owning a fitness device and 75% open to using one—is fueling demand for insights grounded in real-world performance metrics, in addition to satisfaction scores. In this emerging landscape, scientific market research like rapid, non-clinical consumer trials augmented with biomarkers or wearable data offers brands a credible, agile, and consumer-trusted approach to product validation and messaging. It's a real differentiator in a highly competitive market rather than a nice to have.

Partnering with a specialized third-party research provider ensures your consumer studies are credible, unbiased, and scientifically structured. It's a gold standard in the industry.

Key benefits of working with an external partner like us:

• Neutrality & Credibility: Data collected and analyzed independently builds trust with investors, retailers, and end-consumers.

• Scientific Expertise: Protocols are designed by experienced researchers with clinical research and CRO backgrounds, ensuring structured, reliable results.

• Efficiency: A dedicated partner streamlines recruitment, logistics, and data reporting, saving time and resources.

• Scalability: Easily integrate biomarker testing or wearable data as your research needs grow, without rebuilding your systems.

By outsourcing to a third-party vendor, brands avoid internal biases and benefit from fast, data-driven insights that support evidence-based marketing, product innovation, and consumer trust. And your focus stays on your main business.
