Trend market research

Books & white ted market research trends for sarah schmidt, on december 15, market research trends should you expect to see in 2017? This blog post shares different perspectives from a wide variety of market research professionals, suppliers, and executives in the out the quotes below to find out more about what the future may hold for market researchers and the industry as a ration of technological changes. The one thing we can all expect to happen in the market research field in 2017 is an acceleration of the technological trends that are ceaselessly impacting market research work. Simultaneously, the industry will struggle ever more with how to implement and handle all of its latest research possibilities. 2017 will be a boom year for market research, given the level of macro, political, monetary, and economic uncertainty across the globe. Leaders will engage strong primary and secondary research firms to objectively understand the drivers of their evolving customer, competitive, supply chain, and macro dynamics. With both clients and colleagues, i see a renewed emphasis on our need as researchers to consolidate/interpret data and communicate to senior leaders only the core set of issues that really need to be addressed. Today, we find ourselves in the ‘water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink’ scenario, but there seems to be a major shift in client/leader expectations for us as researchers to expertly simplify and consolidate the data for them. Whether we’re talking about ‘big data’ or a year’s worth of research studies, finding ways to synthesize and position for senior management consumption has proven difficult for researchers. Part of the challenge is that we as researchers are trained in research — not communication. We tend to expand upon findings and flash numbers/trends — when senior management wants concise direction and a clear point of view. Throughout the industry, there is a bias toward more storytelling, less “researchy” presentations, and tools like dashboards that are providing initial dents into this issue. I fully expect to see more emphasis here from clients and the research industry as a whole.

The soaring growth of big data and related tools will drive the implementation of exciting new reports and platforms based on automated market research. So much so that automated software, carefully fine-tuned to suit specific market research needs, is the only way to take full advantage of the data options available. Research firms that are capable of seeing the possibilities and developing the software tools to capitalize on them will deliver exciting new market research options. However, the best and most reliable research products will put a layer of human filtering and analysis on top of algorithm-driven data, in order to weed out bad results, deliver value-added analysis, and convey the meaning of data points that seem to be outliers or anomalies. We expect desk research to be more demanded and robust on results than ever in 2017 for three reasons. First, as the focus of marketers has ultimately shifted to digital, desk research methods provide a way of synthesizing various insights into behavior of the connected consumer and capturing the key market trends. Secondly, in view of economic stagnation predicted for many advanced economies around the world in 2017, businesses will search for more cost-effective ways of doing or sourcing research, giving desk research a competitive edge over other approaches. Lastly, the availability of published information has increased immensely over the past several years, presenting an opportunity for desk research professionals focused on specific areas of expertise. Over the last several years, the market research industry has been focused on ‘big data,’ using quantitative data to try to target the specific needs of the customers. But all that emphasis on quantitative data can’t provide any perspective on the future market, future opportunities, and future needs of the customers. Today, more and more companies are realizing the failures of big data, so that the big market research trend for 2017 and beyond will be qualitative market research where we can uncover new needs, new insights, new opportunities that will guide innovation. Big data answers the who, what, where, and when, but only qualitative market research can answer the why — why people shop and why people buy — and that is where the future lies for market research. I do sense a growing realization among buyers of marketing research, however, that mr is more than software and assembly-line operations.

Marketing research is research, grounded in the behavioral and social science, and not software or canned solutions. 2017 will be the year we stop thinking about market insights in terms of market research projects, and instead, build continuous dialogues with our key stakeholders. We’ve increasingly seen our clients ask for market research that ties customer attitudes and behaviors to real financial performance of their company. Tools such as text analysis of customer reviews, actual store traffic, and in-the-moment research will be useful only if they actually predict financial outcomes. Our recent presidential election has shown that surveys don’t always synch with real world results and marketers can’t afford this luxury. One market research trend we expect to see in 2017 is the increased demand by management for providers of insights and analytics to deliver concise recommendations that are more visually compelling. So, while employing technology to gather more data on consumers, truly savvy marketers will also strategically deploy qualitative research, including behavioral science, in order to:Better observe the real behaviors of our consumers;. See marketers who truly want to understand the critical ‘why’ behind all the data digging deeper and getting to the personal dimension so that they can act with impact. The driving force in research in 2017 is going to be the continued relentless move toward faster/better/cheaper research. As c-suite executives push for faster, more collaborative, and rapid-iteration product development, research must fit into that realm.
