Multicultural Market Research & Insight Services


What is The New Mainstream?

The New Mainstream is MCCSA’s multicultural market research, insight and advisory service. We connect businesses, industries, and researchers with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across Australia.

Why Research Multicultural Markets?

Over half of Australia’s population has a culturally diverse background, with 25% speaking a language other than English at home. This market is too significant to ignore.

Common Challenges:

  • Lack of insight into CALD market needs and preferences
  • Missed business opportunities
  • Risk of alienating target markets
