THE DRIVERS BEHIND
TIER-2 INDIA'S D2C PURCHASES
AS OF Q2 2026.

A ground-up D2C consumption study of 1,000+ real, Aadhaar-verified respondents across Tier-2 India: how they discover, decide, and spend on direct-to-consumer brands. Fieldwork is underway now; the full dataset goes online September 2026.

Inside The Study
Discovery & Influence

Where Tier-2 buyers first hear about D2C brands: regional creators, WhatsApp, quick-commerce shelves, and vernacular ads, and who they actually trust.

Category Spend

Real basket data across beauty, food & beverage, apparel, health, and home: frequency, ticket size, and the price ceilings that stop a purchase.

Loyalty & Churn

What makes Tier-2 consumers stick with a D2C brand versus switch, and the exact friction points where they drop off.

Socio-Economic Spread

A read across the full socio-economic spectrum, built on expert sampling techniques so income tiers, occupation, and spending power are all fairly represented.

Methodology

Primary market research, custom-designed to extract insights on Tier-2 consumption habits. Highly trustworthy, gathered from real, identity-verified people, not rented panels, synthetic data, or digital duplicates.
