Market Research & Public Opinion Polling in the UK - Industry Market Research Report
Market Research & Public Opinion Polling in the UK
Over the five years through 2023-24, revenue will contract at a compound annual rate of 1.9% to £5.3 billion. This is mainly due to falling business confidence caused by a combination of Brexit, the COVID-19 outbreak and rising inflation putting off business investment. However, the growing demand for online and digital research services and intense political activity have supported industry growth. Facing a highly competitive environment, market research and public opinion polling companies have had to gain an edge over their competitors, seeking new ways to expand operations while maintaining their profit margin. Investing heavily in technology, players have endeavoured to develop more sophisticated data collection and analysis methods. In addition, advertisers' use of digital tools led to industry firms adopting advanced data collection methods and research tools to better understand online consumer behaviour.
