Market research, competitive analysis and ecosystem mapping
You need to size a market, understand who already operates in it and decide whether to enter it. A traditional firm will quote three months and a six-figure fee. Hymeria delivers a board-ready market research in 5 to 10 days, for a fixed fee starting at €5,000. A domain expert frames the question, challenges the analysis and presents the conclusions to you, with our dedicated AI agents to prepare the production.
When to Run Market Research
Market research, sometimes called a market study, delivers clear ROI when strategic decision-making is blocked by information gaps, and the exposure of an uninformed decision is substantially higher than the investment in research. Key engagement scenarios typically include:
Entering a new country or region
Sizing the addressable market, understanding local players, regulation and route to market, and assessing the viability of the investment.
Launching a new product or service line
Measuring real demand, identifying who already answers that need, and positioning the offer against them on price and value.
Preparing an investment or acquisition
Delivering the sourced market evidence that supports your business plan and board-level projections.
Challenging an internal assumption
Providing an objective, third-party validation for markets under consideration before committing significant budget.
Deliverables

Frequently asked questions
How long does market research take?
Five to ten working days from the scoping session, depending on scope. A standard engagement runs in five days; studies covering several countries or requiring expert interviews run closer to ten.
How much does market research cost?
Standard engagements start at €5,000 and run to €10,000. Complex engagements range from €10,000 to €15,000. Every engagement is fixed fee, agreed before we start.
Who actually does the project?
A domain expert from our network, chosen for your sector, owns the engagement: they qualify the need, steer the production, challenge and complete the analysis, and present the findings to you. AI drives the collection, structuring and synthesis, and our expert challenges, validates and enriches the analysis.
How is the expert selected?
By subject. We assign the expert whose field matches your question, and we identify them at the scoping session so you know who will be working on your study before you commit.
What do I receive at the end?
A board-ready deliverable: executive summary, market analysis with sourced data, competitive mapping, and a recommendation with its underlying assumptions. Delivered in slides or as a document, and presented by the expert who validated it.
How is this different from a traditional consulting firm?
You get a sector expert on the analysis instead of a pyramid of junior consultants, weeks become days, and the fee is a fraction of a traditional engagement. The trade-off is scope: we answer a defined question precisely rather than running an open-ended multi-month programme.
Which markets and sectors do you cover?
Specialized in Western and Asian B2B and B2C verticals. Should a question exceed our scope, we establish this upfront during initial alignment to ensure strategic clarity.
How large is the global market research industry?
Companies spent more than $150 billion on market research and analysis in 2024, according to ESOMAR (Global Market Research 2025). Commissioning research is standard practice; the real question is what it costs and how fast it lands.
