IFR Monitoring are
experts in Shelf Analysis. Instead of examining market share,
IFR analyses
'Shelf Share', i.e., the presence of goods and brands in the market,
and reflects the market shelf-offer.
Considering the constant shortening of the product shelf life
and life cycle, and rapidly changing
consumer preferences, there is a need for a fast information system
to aid manufacturers and retailers
in evaluation and analysis of market trends, pricing, product
life cycles etc. Shelf Analysis fulfils this
need in that it presents a reflection of the market shelf offer
as seen in the eyes of the consumer.
