Qualitative research provides the depth and nuance that quantitative data often lacks. When businesses want to understand the “why” behind customer behavior, brand perception, or product feedback, qualitative research becomes essential. For instance, market analysis can complement qualitative research by uncovering broader market trends and audience insights.
