"de 15 à 20 expositions sur la route et de 4 à 5 en études de marché. " There are market studies being done on several projects. Is there an English equivalent for the French phrase, that will allow me to retain the sentence structure?

: Yes, roadshows. I'd like "surveys" though, unless there's a difference

Market research
Market research is definitely the phrase to use.
"...and market research is (still) being done on 4 to 5 exhibitions"
How does that sound?

4 or 5 [projects] that are currently the subject of market studies
That's my guess, but it's very hard to tell without the entire sentence.

; four or five of them, market studies
I agree with William that it is extremely difficult to understand this sentence fragment without the rest of the sentence and even a little more context.
I suspect that "sur la route" here realy means "under way" as Karen surmised.
What exactly they mean by "exhibitions" perhaps only you can judge.
Shows? Exhibitions? I think they may mean exhibits, that of the 15-20 exhibits being prepared, four or five of them represent market studies.
...between 15 and 20 ?? being prepared; four or five of them representing market studies.
OR
.between 15 and 20 ?? being put together/set up; four or five of them representing market studies.
