Market Research is any organized effort to gather information about markets or customers. It is
a very important component of business strategy.
Market research is a key factor in maintaining competitiveness over competitors. Market research
provides important information to identify and analyze the market need, market size, and
competition.
Market research, which includes social and opinion research, is the systematic gathering and
interpretation of information about individuals or organizations using statistical and analytical
methods and techniques of the applied social sciences to gain insight into support decision-making.
Market research is for discovering what people want, need, or believe. It can also involve
discovering how they act. Once that research is completed, it can be used to determine how to
market your product.

Industry Overview
12
Industry Overview
The marketing research industry in India is about 38 years old and its turnover is about INR 325
cores. In the last few years, the market has been growing at about 30% annually. Marketing
research in India has been focused more on fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Besides, the
most significant growth area for the marketing research industry in India is the media
measurement business. Next would perhaps be the AI, Auto, Telecom, Healthcare sectors, and
Durablegoods industries. Customer satisfaction and customer insights in all industry sectors are
thegrowing segments for the market. Large companies are spending anywhere between $5
million to $100 million on marketing research these days.
It has been posited that research expertise available in India is truly top of the rung, and
methodologies used in India are comparable with the best in the world (Abraham, 2004). And
this is part of the reason that India is heading towards becoming an outsourcing hub in market
research for the rest of the world. But where India is falling behind is in the area of use of
technology for data collection. That is because most of the technologies used for data collection
in the advanced world today are internet and telephone-based. With low internet penetration and
tele-density, Indian marketing research firms have to rely on face-to-face interviewing along with
paper and pencil methods of data collection. The market for rendering outsourced marketing
research services seems to be growing in the country.
2020’s crises profoundly changed the relationship between consumers and brands – altering
expectations and redefining relationships. At the same time, it presented an opportunity for
businesses to rethink and re-invent their approach to market research.
Economic growth was put into reverse, supply chains were tested to and beyond breaking point,
consumers turned to stockpiling and their relationships with brands shifted from a position of
choice to one of necessity.
While some brands pivoted smartly, others, especially in the hospitality and leisure sectors, were
overwhelmed by the crushing pressure of COVID-19. Knowledge-based industries were perhaps
the least hard-hit, with a shift towards remote working keeping the lights on. Overall,though,
there were few winners. Our research showed that almost 2 in 3 companies canceled orpostponed
some of their planned research.
Those that weathered the storm were frequently those who turned to technology for
a competitive advantage. Economizing and cutting costs were the goal for market researchers,
who leaned on consumer foods and food and beverage to take the pressure off resource-heavy
human-led operations.
Though nothing new, market research technology came into its own during 2020 as a means to
alleviate cost burdens and do more with less. Growth in MR tech accelerated rapidly, especially
when it came to tools for consumer goods.

Conclusion, Learning and Suggestions
41
Conclusion
In a nutshell, this on-the-job training (OJT) has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can
conclude that there have been a lot I’ve learnt from my work at Allied Analytics LLP. Needless to
say, the marketing components of the work I’ve done are not flawless and could be enhanced with
enough time. As someone with no prior experience with market research work whatsoever I believe
my time spent in research and discovering it was well worth it and contributed to finding an
acceptable solution to build fully functional modules in Allied Analytics LLP Market Research.
The necessity of time management skills and self-motivation are two major lessons I've learned.
Moreover, I have gained newknowledge, skills and met many new people. I achieved several of
my learning goals, however for somethe conditions did not permit. I got insight into professional
practice. I learned the different facets of working within an organization. I have experienced on-
the-job training was also good to find out what my strengths and weaknesses. I have learned the
better of writing research that can be understandable and scalable.
I have learnt about market research basics and have received the chance to work on many modules
including company profiles, report description, executive summary, and different other segments
which was a great learning experience for me. This helped me to define what skills and knowledge
I have to improve in the coming time.
My job as a secondary research associate entails conducting extensive study into the market's
difficulties and prospects as assigned by the team leader. Inworking environment, teamwork is vital
in contributing to a strong organization. Teamwork is also essential in reaching the goals of the
organization as an entity. Thus, communicating and sharing is much needed in the working
environment. Therefore, we should be respecting each other in work, and working together as a
team, instead of working alone. This is because working together as a team is easier in reaching
our targets, rather than operating individually.
42
Suggestions for Improvement
➢ Expand on Data Privacy and Compliance: While the report mentions the importance of data
privacy and compliance with regulations, consider providing more detailed information on specific
regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) that may apply to your industry and how your company ensures
compliance. This will demonstrate a thorough understanding of legal obligations.
➢ Include Case Studies: To illustrate the practical application of your research and database creation,
consider including case studies or examples of how the database has been used for successful
business development. This can provide concrete evidence of the database's value.
➢ Discuss Data Verification Strategies: Elaborate on the specific strategies and tools used for data
verification and quality assurance within the database. Detailing these processes will enhance the
report's credibility.
➢ Address Ethical Challenges: Explore any ethical challenges encountered during the database
creation process and how they were addressed. Discussing ethical dilemmas and their resolutions

Limitations
o Insufficient sample size for statistical measurement: My research report has 50 respondents
only, due to covid, I had to survey over the social media platforms, which has its own
demerits, such as I am unable to understand the mindset of my respondent on biasness
o Time constraints: I had a limited time to cover up for my project report, which tends to be a
limitation.
o Issue in the portal: Sometimes while making the reports portal stops working due to this, we
have to make the report from the starting.
o Language Barriers: Gathering information from various countries may require dealing with
language barriers, potentially leading to inaccuracies or misunderstandings in data collection.
o Missed Opportunities: Due to not having the opportunity to work from the office, my exposure
to the work environment was restricted, resulting in missed opportunities.
o Resource Expertise: Access to subject matter experts with in-depth knowledge of each industry
is essential for accurate analysis and report curation. However, resource limitations in terms of
expertise may limit the ability to cover all industries comprehensively.
