YouGov plc the international market research and data analytics group, is pleased to announce the completion of its acquisition of the Consumer Panel Services of GfK GmbH. CPS GfK is an established leader in household purchase data, with panels across 18 European countries, consisting of over 100,000 households.

As announced on 6 July 2023, YouGov agreed to acquire CPS GfK in an all-cash transaction for a headline purchase price of €315 million. YouGov’s investment into a carefully planned and considered integration programme will ensure a seamless transition for CPS GfK clients and colleagues and enable both companies to capitalise on each other’s strengths from day one.

CPS GfK’s capabilities are strategically aligned with YouGov, adding highly engaged panels across the European market and technology to capture and analyse consumer purchasing data. The acquisition will support our continued growth by expanding our combined offering to existing clients in our current markets, as well as the opportunity to win new clients and roll out into new markets, including in the US which remains our key strategic growth focus. YouGov has a long history of investing in innovative, new technologies and products to drive long-term growth and continuing that journey with CPS GfK will help our combined business to realise our vision of becoming a leading provider of shopper, marketing and opinion data.
