The organic growth figure was up from the 0.8% registered in the first half of the year, with good performance in China, in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea) region and Ipsos’ Citizens business helping to boost Q3 performance.

Emea had organic growth of 3.5% for the quarter, with Asia-Pacific seeing organic growth of 4.3%. In Emea, the Middle East was adversely affected by ongoing conflict, but western, central and eastern Europe and Africa all recorded growth.

The Americas, meanwhile, saw a 1.2% fall in organic growth for the quarter, and 0% for the first nine months of the year. Ipsos said this was due to delays in implementing its Horizons strategic plan in the region.

The first nine months of the year has seen an overall 0.9% rise in revenue, with organic growth at 1.2%.

The latest figures come following the appointment of Kelly Beaver as chief executive of Ipsos in July. She has since reaffirmed the Horizons strategic plan for the business, with a focus on speeding up its execution.

Since July, Ipsos has entered into a strategic partnership with Google Cloud on agentic AI, launched a programme promoting the prioritised use of digital research platform Ipsos.Digital and released new AI tools.

Given performance over the first nine months of the year, Ipsos has revised its organic growth outlook for the full year to between 1.2% and 1.5%, compared with 0.6% in 2025.
