Best New Product Awards is an annual consumer packaged goods awards (CPG) program focusing on food, health, beauty, and household products. Winners are 100% consumer voted, who participate in a yearly independent survey conducted by BrandSpark International in conjunction with IMI International. Consumers vote on products based on several criteria, focusing on the products' appeal and repurchase intent. Currently, the program operates in 5 countries around the world: Canada, the United States, Turkey, China and Mexico, and is continuing to expand internationally.

About
The annual Best New Product Awards is an awards program based completely on consumer votes, which helps in the decision-making process for consumers, and increases ROI for companies that decide to leverage the logo. Consumers vote for the winner based on a number of criteria and are also asked to give their feedback on a range of questions related to media habits, interests, purchasing behaviours, attitudes, and more. The study helps to provide marketers with valuable and applicable consumer insights in CPG and the development of new products.
Survey
In 2017, over 10,000 American consumers and over 20,000 Canadian consumers participated in the North America making the Best New Product Awards one of the largest consumer studies on new product development & innovation.
