If a business satisfies a customer’s needs better than competitors do, then it is likely that a consumer will buy their product.
Market research into a business’ target market will give the company insights into their customers’ wants and needs and how they are changing over time.
Businesses can benefit from both qualitative and quantitative research.
Qualitative research generally collects information about opinions and views rather than things that can be quantified.

For example, research into the number of cans of Coca Cola sold in the UK last year is quantitative research.
