Currently, North America has the largest market size, estimated to be worth over $19.2–20.2 billion and growing at a rate of 1-2 percent.

Prominent trends in the MR services market are the growing geographic footprint of MR Agencies, usage of big data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), consolidation of panels, social media research and communities, and wearable-based research. Smaller boutique agencies offering niche services are growing in popularity and are also actively engaged by full-service agencies through sub-contracting.

The project-based pricing model is the most commonly adopted approach in the pricing of MR services as it allows buyers flexibility in sourcing as per the demand, but limits the potential opportunities to drive cost savings. The rate-card model is followed by large buyers, who can estimate their MR services spend in a given period enabling buyers to better negotiate prices and work out cost savings.
