TO STEER THE SHIP, LEARN THE SEA! Navigation is easier ​with map and compass, even in rough waters.

The Pareto Report offers a comprehensive perspective on Romanian consumers: a critical resource for businesses as they start off their 2026 journeys. A successful project that has confirmed value for clients in financial, retail, FMCG, entertainment and NGO sectors.

What you gain:

  1. More Effective Decision-Making: Contextual insights provide a more complete, real-world picture, empowering you to make effective decisions across strategy, marketing & development.
  2. Broad Perspective: Decisions happen in a social, cultural or economic context. Content alone does not explain a choice.
  3. Competitive Edge: In competitive markets, understanding underlying nuances can truly make the difference.
  4. Stay on top: Societal trends, technology and politics impact consumer decisions. Context helps businesses stay ahead.
  5. Uncover Hidden Opportunities: Understand untapped segments and new needs, often overlooked in traditional studies.

Ionuț Stanimir, Chief Brand Officer, BCR
“We are operating in a rapidly changing environment, where adapting strategies has become a vital condition for success. In this context, it is crucial to have comprehensive information about your consumers — this is the only way management teams may uncover truly distinctive insights that can create impact, before competitor do. The Pareto Report gives precisely this advantage, providing a unique perspective on emerging cues.”

“The Pareto Report has given us a level of clarity that traditional macro data simply cannot offer. In a fast-shifting social and economic landscape, it cuts through the bias of aggregated analyses and reveals a far more accurate picture of reality. Its combination of exceptional granularity and strong statistical validity turned the report into a truly strategic asset for us. Ultimately, the Pareto Report helped us understand Romania as it is today — and anticipate with much greater confidence what tomorrow may bring.”​
Bogdan Turcanu, PRO TV
“The Pareto Report has become an invaluable resource for us, both in internal analyses and in conversations with our central team. We rely on it consistently to explain the unique characteristics of the Romanian market and to put cross-country differences into the right context. The forward-looking perspective has also been extremely helpful as we prepare our plans. For us, Pareto is no longer just a report — it has become a reference tool.” ​
Lucia Antal, Head of Research & Data Strategy PRO TV​
“The Pareto Report began as an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how retail and lifestyle brands are adopted by Romania’s upper consumer segments. In the end, it proved to be much more than that. The final report offers a magnifying lens into Romania’s social, cultural, lifestyle and economic context. It provided essential perspectives for our business and remains a valuable tool for any company looking to stay ahead. We were delighted to contribute to the annual ideation workshop, which continuously opens new cues for investigation and broadens the project’s spectrum.”
Roxana Baias, Head of Group Marketing, Nepirockcastle

Considerations on research limitations:

Representativity
  • Current study is representative for BCT and Paretos, while not mirroring the audience below 18yo and over 65 yo, nor the non-Internet users (22% excluded on this principle).
  • We assume an auto-selection bias, implied by the fact that respondents with higher completion willingness were first to be considered in the sample.
Subjectivity
  • The study presents perceptions of respondents about themselves, about things around them, and does not reflect an objective reality.
  • We assume a desirability bias, respondents mentioning things they like to believe are truthful, which are not necessarily truthful.
Comparability
  • The study focuses on a precise moment in time (August 2022) and includes a comparison to September 2021, but not with the periods in between.
  • The study is a snapshot of the Romanian digitally active population and does not include comparisons to other countries.
