Kids market research

Back to glossary

Kids market research

Kids market research refers to qualitative or quantitative research conducted with children, typically under the age of 16. This type of research requires specialist skills, as working with children and young people involves additional ethical and safeguarding considerations, including consent, age-appropriate questioning, and creating a comfortable, safe environment for participants.

Research with children can explore a range of topics, from product use and brand awareness to attitudes, behaviours, and preferences. Methods may include focus groups, interviews, online surveys, or interactive techniques such as gamified exercises or creative tasks, all designed to engage younger respondents effectively while ensuring reliable and valid insights.

DJS Research has a dedicated children and young people research team with extensive experience in conducting kids’ market research. Our team combines expertise in research design, engagement techniques, and safeguarding practices to deliver high-quality, actionable insights while maintaining the highest standards of care and compliance.
