Glossary of Marketing Studies and Research
Sensory analysis is a marketing approach aiming to analyze organoleptic
characteristics of a product, meaning product criteria that can be experienced by senses (sight,
hearing, touch, taste, smell).
This approach is useful in the launch of new products (packaging, price, name of the
product…) or to compare a product against the competition. Used in the final phase of
launching a product, it highlights possible areas of improvement.
