FRANCE – Revenue at Ipsos was up 4.9% in the second quarter of 2026, with organic growth rebounding to 3% after registering a decline in the first three months of the year.

Ipsos’ quarterly financial update said that overall revenue was at €615.2m, and meant that for the first half of the year, revenue was up 1.3% on the same period in 2025, with a total €1.17bn.

Organic growth for the first six months was therefore at 0.8%, which Ipsos said reflected the improvement in revenue performance in the second quarter.

Scope effects amounted to 3.9%, reflecting the acquisition of The BVA Family in June 2025 and partially offset from Ipsos’ sale of its majority stake in its Russian subsidiary.

Growth was also impacted by adverse foreign exchange effects due to the appreciation of the euro against currencies including the US dollar, with a negative impact of 3.4%.

Europe, Middle East and Africa saw revenue grow 5.6% in the first half of the year, and organic growth rose from 0.1% in the first quarter to 0.9% in the second.

The Americas had a 3.1% fall in revenue in the first six months of 2026, although organic growth of 5.5% for the second quarter meant an overall 0.7% rise in organic growth for the first half of the year.

Asia-Pacific registered a 1.9% drop in revenue, but had 0.8% organic growth for the first half of the year following 3.8% organic growth in the second quarter.
