Four Research Capabilities for the Nigerian Market

From understanding how consumers feel about the economy to testing your next product launch, our research services give you the evidence to make confident market decisions.

Consumer Sentiment

Track how Nigerian consumers feel about the economy, their personal finances, and major purchase intentions. Our Consumer Confidence Index is updated quarterly and benchmarked against historical trends. Use it to time product launches, adjust marketing spend, and forecast demand.

Brand Tracking

Measure your brand's health over time with our continuous tracking studies. We monitor awareness, consideration, preference, trust, Net Promoter Score, and attribute associations. Compare your performance against category competitors and identify the drivers of brand equity in the Nigerian market.

Product Testing

Validate product concepts, packaging, pricing, and positioning before launch. Our product testing methodology combines monadic and sequential monadic designs with demographic segmentation. We test in real-world Nigerian consumption contexts, not artificial lab settings, so you get actionable feedback.

Sector Analysis

Deep-dive sector reports combining primary polling data with macroeconomic indicators and regulatory analysis. We cover FMCG, Telecoms, Banking, Energy, Healthcare, and Education. Each sector analysis includes market sizing, consumer segmentation, competitive landscape, and growth opportunity mapping.

Case Study

How a Nigerian Bank Redesigned Its Savings Product Using Consumer Sentiment Data

A Tier-2 commercial bank noticed stagnant growth in its retail savings portfolio despite aggressive marketing. NigeriaPolls conducted a nationwide consumer sentiment study among unbanked and underbanked Nigerians to understand barriers to savings account adoption.

The research revealed that 62% of target consumers associated traditional savings accounts with "hidden charges and confusing minimum balances"—a perception the bank's marketing never addressed. Among rural respondents, 48% preferred savings groups (esusu/ajo) because they offered transparency and social accountability.

Using these insights, the bank redesigned its savings product with zero minimum balance, transparent fee structures, and a community-saving feature. Within 8 months of launch, new account openings increased 140% among the target demographic. The product won a retail banking innovation award in 2024.
