In a nutshell
There is going to be more research in the future
more surveys, more depth interviews, more focus groups,
more ethnography, more usability testing, more semiotics,
more build/test/learn, more analytics …
But there is going to be less ‘market research’
2 Key Changes
More than 50% of research is ‘No Questions Research’
Nearly 50%
of research
conducted
internally
by clients

Traditional MR Turnover 2019 ESOMAR GMR Qualtrics 2021 IPO valuation
USD $ Billions
The frog in the MR well thinks Qualtrics is overpriced
Market Capitalisation
Yahoo Finance 5 April 2021
Ipsos $1.4 Billion
SurveyMonkey $2.7 Billion
Medallia $4.5 Billion
MR is becoming a minnow in the business of helping organisations
make better decisions through the use of human-centric information
Why?
1. Customer Centricity
2. Agile
Democratisation

A zappi example
“…we just rolled out an instance of zappi to 800
marketers in a global alcohol company- it was
bought and vetted by insights.”

Key Questions
? What will happen to quality?
? What will happen to MR agencies?
? What will happen to client insight teams?
? What will happen to trade associations?
? What will happen to MR ethics?
? What should a new market researcher do?
What will happen to quality?
The median project will be of HIGHER quality
Innovative, non-standard or complex problems will still be
handled by specialists
The weakest link is going to be the sample – which is also true
of agencies
What will happen to MR agencies?
Continue to
grow in
absolute
terms
But lose share
to internal
And lose
share to non-
MR
companies
The HX pie
will grow
much faster
than the MR
part will grow
What will happen to client insight teams?
1. Some will shrink, following
democratisation
2. Some will become assistants to others
3. Some will transform insights to be
coaches, arbiters of value, and strategy
consultants
What will happen to trade associations?
Live in a world without clear boundaries
– Advocacy
– Standard setting
– Education
– Networking
– Business opportunities
What will happen to MR ethics?
For commercial research, anonymity is going to
be much less common
– Informed consent is going to be the new norm
– Selling and marketing to participants will be the
norm
– Social research will need to separate itself from MR
What should a new market researcher do?
1. Able to understand business questions and needs in the context
of human behaviours and beliefs
2. Able to choose and implement a solution from a range of
possible option solutions
3. Able to turn the findings from the research into
recommendations
4. Able to persuade organisations to implement the
recommendations
* Focus on using machines when machines can do the job, develop
skills in the area where machines can’t do the job
What is the future of MR?
i. The need to understand people will grow
ii. The use of tools and approaches to understand
people will grow
iii. There will be more semioticians, ethnographers, data
analysists, strategists, cultural specialists etc
iv. But there will be fewer market researchers, doing
less ‘market research’
