With speed, quality and accuracy, Mintel Leap delivers research and recommendations on people, products and categories—vital for businesses looking to inform their innovation and marketing strategies.

By quickly exploring Mintel's wide-ranging data and expert human analysis, Leap delivers succinct responses to brands’ everyday prompts—such as: “Analyse the changing demographics of beauty e-commerce consumers and the impact on purchasing habits”, “Provide an analysis of the competitive financial services landscape” or “What are current supply chain challenges in the foodservice industry and some potential solutions?” It’s so easy to use that everyone from a Junior Strategist to a CMO can quickly understand a new category or shifting consumer trends, freeing their time to focus on more value-added work.

Matt Nelson, Mintel CEO, said that Mintel Leap was an AI game-changer. By utilising cutting-edge generative AI, billions of data points and years’ worth of Mintel’s unparallelled analyst expertise can now be discovered and summarised in seconds.

“Our clients are beginning to leverage the power of AI to drive organisational efficiency; however, understanding how and where to incorporate AI into business practices isn’t always clear."
