MOLDOVA AT A GLANCE
Moldova is a compact but geographically and linguistically diverse consumer market in Eastern Europe.
Chișinău is the country's main commercial and economic centre, while Bălți, Cahul and other regional communities contribute to a varied consumer landscape.
With a substantial rural population and widespread internet connectivity, Moldova offers opportunities for both nationwide online research and studies focused on specific consumer segments.
Understanding regional differences, language preferences and local purchasing behaviour is important when designing research for the Moldovan market.

BUILT FOR THE MOLDOVAN MARKET
Local expertise

- Local RecruitmentOur Moldova online panel is developed through recruitment channels selected for the local market and managed directly by DATACTION. We oversee respondent registration, profiling, communication and ongoing quality control, helping maintain access to consumers across different demographic and geographic groups
- Local ProfilingOur profiling reflects the products, services and consumer categories relevant to Moldova, including local banks, mobile operators, retailers, marketplaces and automotive categories. By incorporating locally familiar brands and services, we can target specific consumer groups and make questionnaires more relevant to respondents' everyday experiences
- Local LanguageMoldova's multilingual environment makes questionnaire localisation particularly important. We support survey versions in Romanian and Russian. Romanian questionnaires are adapted to the language usage, terminology and everyday expressions familiar to respondents in Moldova, rather than simply reusing versions developed for Romania. We also tailor wording, examples and answer options to respondents' language preferences and the local market context. When surveys are programmed by DATACTION, respondents can switch between available questionnaire languages at any stage without losing their progress
- LOCAL MARKET UNDERSTANDINGOur approach takes into account differences between Chișinău and regional markets, as well as the characteristics of Moldova's urban and rural consumer communities. Through ongoing online panel management, local profiling and market-specific questionnaire adaptation, we support research that reflects the practical realities of the Moldovan market
