LPG Dealer Consumer Safety Advisory & Brand Recommendation Behaviour Survey
Map how LPG consumers evaluate safety advisories, compare dealer credibility, and choose cylinder brands, so you can sharpen acquisition messaging, fix retention gaps, and benchmark recommendation conversion by dealer segment.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most LPG distributors don't lose consumer trust purely on cylinder availability. They lose it due to inconsistent safety briefings, dealer-level advisory gaps, unverified regulator handling, weak refill-cycle communication, and misaligned brand messaging, none of which fully show up in complaint registers or distributor sales reports.
If you are...
- LPG brand or OMC distributor
- Dealer network head, urban or rural
- Safety compliance or regulatory lead
- Consumer marketing or brand head
- Channel strategy or growth lead
You're likely facing...
- Dealer advisory: inconsistent across geographies
- Safety recall: low consumer awareness
- Brand switch: post-incident trust erosion
- Refill loyalty vs. price sensitivity gap
- Regulator handling: perception vs. compliance
This will help answer...
- Safety advisory influence on brand choice
- Dealer trust gap by segment
- Refill loyalty and switching triggers
- Compliance perception vs. actual behaviour
- Brand recommendation drivers at dealer level

OBJECTIVE
WHAT WE DID
DELIVERED
Cylinder refill channel preference & switching triggers (India)
Dealer safety communication credibility & message territory audit (North India)
Cylinder refill channel preference & switching triggers (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India LPG distributor needed to isolate why domestic household consumers shifted between authorised dealers and informal refill sources , and which service attributes drove repeat booking versus defection.
WHAT WE DID
Ran a structured quant survey across 6 states, sampling 900 households, capturing refill frequency, channel selection criteria, delivery wait tolerance, price sensitivity thresholds, and stated reasons for switching away from the primary registered dealer.
DELIVERED
A channel preference map by household income tier, a ranked switching trigger list by state cluster, and a loyalty driver framework identifying the 4 service dimensions that most strongly predicted repeat dealer engagement.
