About Desk Research

Desk research is the review and synthesis of secondary data. It is well suited to market overviews, regulatory and industry context, trend analysis, and preparing the ground for primary research.

It shows what is already known and where the gaps are, so that any further fieldwork can focus on the questions that existing sources cannot answer.
