Qualitative vs Quantitative Market Research

It’s important to establish the two categories of market research before having a deeper understanding of the list above. 

The table below shows a summarized breakdown of the difference between qualitative and quantitative research.

What Is Quantitative Market Research?

After getting the general difference between the two categories, let us discuss further why you need qualitative market research
services.

The qualitative data collection process is assessed through two different points of view – The questionnaire and the respondents. 

A respondent may not care about the classification of data he/she is inputting, but this is important to the questionnaire. It helps to determine the method of analysis that will be used. 

Qualitative research provides a depth of understanding, rather than studying issues as the researcher defines them. It seeks to understand people’s experiences, emotions, actions, and interactions in the social world. This can be at the level of the individual or with groups of people.

Furthermore, it examines how people engage with nonhuman aspects of the social world such as technologies, materials, and specific spaces.
