NIQ and Google plan to enrich AI-assisted shopping with product data

NIQ and Google announced a partnership on 30 October 2026 combining NIQ product and store data with Google’s commerce tools. Their stated aim is to improve AI agent recommendations and information on local availability.

The companies say NIQ data covers more than 250 million products and stores in 90 countries, while Google’s Shopping Graph holds over 60 billion listings. These are different measures, not counts that can be added as unique products.

NIQ also plans to use Google Cloud as a major provider and deploy Gemini for Business to staff. The announcement does not establish immediate availability of every integration or measured shopping improvements.
