Application of qualitative research

Qualitative research (market research) is a type of research aimed at obtaining information about products, services and entire markets. For this purpose, data is collected from consumers themselves and detailed survey techniques are used. Conducting in-depth research allows companies and organizations to understand consumer behavior, motivations and needs. These surveys use a variety of techniques, including in-depth interviews, focus groups and observations aimed at understanding consumer attitudes, opinions, needs and actions. Market research can be conducted to determine whether a product is able to meet market demands, and how it should be modified to be successful. Qualitative research is particularly useful for companies that want to understand their customers and better tailor their products to their needs. This research allows companies to study consumer reactions to products, changing trends and market needs. The research also allows researchers to determine how their products are perceived in the market and how they should be tailored to meet consumer needs.
