What is market research?

Market research is the process of determining the viability of a new service or product through direct contact with consumers. It enables a company to reach out to people in order to identify the target market and obtain opinions and other feedback about their interest in the product. Furthermore, market research provides detailed insights into competitors, as well as understanding customers' pain points and preferences, as well as the most recent market trends, consumer buying patterns, economic shifts, and demographics. This type of research is carried out in-house, either by the company or by a third party. Typically, businesses undertake the task to gain first-hand knowledge of research and market scenarios. Businesses use this data to create better products, improve user experience, and develop a marketing strategy that attracts quality leads and boosts conversion rates. The following are some of the most common types of market research:

•  Brand research

•  Usability testing

•  Campaign effectiveness

•  Competitor research

•  Customer segmentation research

The economy moves in a zigzag pattern. From now on, it is always a good idea to be well-versed in the concerns and preferences of every important stakeholder. Despite the fact that businesses always have a general view of their customers, market research serves as an ice breaker in the company's progress. Market research provides answers to 'why' questions rather than general 'what' questions. Companies frequently use technologies such as big data analytics to answer 'what' questions, but by implying market research, they gain insight into 'why' customers do what they do. Surprisingly, market research outperforms assumptions and provides precise solutions for everything. It also assists businesses in expanding their bases to different geographical locations by making them aware of cultural and linguistic differences.
