How can market research help in identifying potential areas for business expansion?

Market research can help in identifying potential areas for business expansion by gathering demographic information to discover opportunities and limitations for customer growth. This can include data on age, income, family, and interests. By answering questions such as the desire for your product or service, the number of people interested in your offering, the income range and employment rate, where your customers live and where your business can reach, how many similar options are already available to consumers, and what potential customers pay for these alternatives, you can get a good sense of your market. The methods you can use to do direct research are surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, and in-depth interviews.
