There’re five elements to market research feasibility studies:
Stakeholder In-depth Interview
Discussing your venture with stakeholders is a good starting point because it allows all groups to gain ownership of the process and support market research and helps market researchers become acquainted with project objectives.
Trend Analysis and Demographic Evaluation

Quantitative Surveys
Primary data is gathered from end users with a questionnaire that targets current and predicted use and evaluates what impact a new product venture may have on the market.
Competitive Evaluation
Determines how competitors can impact a new business via competitor profiling, which helps businesses identify product gaps that they can take advantage of.
