Desktop Research
What is Desktop Research?
Desktop research is the process of gathering and analysing information from existing sources to answer specific business questions. Unlike primary research methods such as surveys, interviews or focus groups, it uses published information from databases, industry reports, government publications and reputable online resources. Businesses use desktop market research to understand industries, evaluate competitors and identify market opportunities.
This approach offers several advantages:
01
Faster access to relevant information
02
Cost-effective research compared to field studies
03
Access to a wide range of global data sources
04
Ability to analyse historical and industry data
05
Efficient support for decision-making
