    Global Drivers and Constraints : Primary Market Research

    The market research industry is strongly driven by the tech-enabled segment of research. While the traditional research activities is facing a slow growth, the focus of Fortune 500 companies has moved to data mining, social listening and online communities. This change is positively impacting primary market research industry.

    Drivers

    • The main growth of the market research industry was driven by the technology enabled segment of the insights sector.

    Segmented Market Research:

    • The constraints posed by COVID-19 forced data collection to move online. Remote research and data companies saw a significant surge demand as it became the only way to capture data.

    Constraints

    Decline due to Face-to-face Research:

    • The traditional research activities suffered a decline of 4.4 percent between in 2022 due to the decrease in face-to-face research activities and the shift od budgets to other automated and technological solutions.

    Data Reliability:

    • Most buyers are finding concerns about innovative approach, creating new use cases for insights and deep understanding of business needs from traditional research players. Buyers look forward to innovative ideation, full coverage of consumer touchpoints in media & consumer interaction tracking to stay relevant in era of digital/social.

    Cost Structure of Primary Market Research

    • Unbundling panel requirement is the key approach that majority of buyers across industries (food and beverages, consumer packaged goods, etc.) adopt, in order to have better control over the cost and also suppliers. This is usually done after a preferred supplier is selected for undertaking major services. Ensuring visibility into each of the market research cost component is essential to achieve significant cost savings apart from negotiations with market research suppliers.

    Industry Outlook Opportunities

    • With the advent of DIY technologies, online research, AI and research automation in market research services, in-house research has gained momentum among companies, especially in the US

    • Opportunity for the regionalization of sourcing exists in several markets across LATAM where top global MR companies have a significant presence.

    • Markets with a high level of maturity enable the consolidation of sourcing activities while markets with lesser maturity can be clubbed together and examined at the regional level to effectively mange the supply base. 

    • The supply market is witnessing a lot of restructuring in the form of M&As and organic growth, with global suppliers set to open new research offices in this region.

    • Buyers are expected to increase their spend in market research activities, offering opportunities for market growth in the region.

    Challenges

    • Lack of innovative solution in story-board format, lack of consultative approach, and demand for insights aligned to business problems are the key challenges that matured buyers are experiencing with established suppliers

    • Some countries have low supply market maturity in MR services, thereby limiting the possibilities of following a regional approach in sourcing the category. Also, higher than average inflation rates in several markets make it challenging to keep costs under control.

    • Fragmented levels of maturity in the European region make it challenging for the buyer to approach sourcing MR services using a homogenous approach.

    • The fragmented nature of the markets and presence of regional agencies that are strong in fewer markets across the region make supply base consolidation difficult to achieve.

    • The lack of presence of global suppliers will lead to service quality inconsistency.

    • The low level of technology penetration in Africa will result in decreased service quality.
