etc. USP has extensive experience conducting quantitative research in
the European garden market and initiated the first European Garden
Monitor in the second half of 2020. This multi-client study provided
customers with detailed information on the garden market and a better
understanding of the position of brands in different product categories.
This helped our customers to develop the right strategic actions and
gain market share. While markets are changing continuously, we
decided to repeat the study of 2020 in April of 2023.
