About Ginger Research
Survey and market research with deep expertise in Turkey, expanding across the US and MENA.
Our Story
Ginger Research was founded in 2026 in New Mexico, USA as part of the Bappfun group of companies. The company brings together a team with years of hands-on experience in Turkey's survey and market research industry — from field data collection and CAPI surveys to retail audits and mystery shopping programs.
Before establishing its US presence, the team behind Ginger Research built a strong track record in Turkey, executing projects in collaboration with the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and metropolitan municipalities across Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. This experience with large-scale Turkish government and private sector research programs formed the operational foundation that Ginger Research now applies across multiple markets.
With its US headquarters in Albuquerque and its main operational hub in Istanbul, Ginger Research serves clients across seven US states, Turkey, and the broader MENA region through offices in Dubai, Riyadh, Cairo, and Amman. The company focuses on delivering reliable, high-quality field research for enterprise clients, international organizations, and government institutions — with a particular strength in markets where cultural insight and local knowledge make the difference.
Ginger Research operates as part of the Bappfun group of companies, which provides shared technology resources, financial infrastructure, and strategic support across its portfolio. This structure allows Ginger Research to focus on what it does best — field research — while benefiting from the operational backbone of a larger organization.
