Market Research
A Pillar of Success at Ranchen International Pvt Ltd.
At Ranchen International Pvt Ltd, a leading buying and sourcing company for fabrics, apparel, accessories, and home furnishings, market research is integral to our operations. Understanding target markets and customers is essential to staying competitive and delivering value-added products to global brands.
What is Market Research?
Market research is a structured effort to gather critical information about markets, consumers, and competitors. It involves identifying and analyzing market needs, determining market size, and evaluating competition. By leveraging both qualitative methods—such as focus groups, in-depth interviews, and ethnography—and quantitative techniques like customer surveys and data analysis, we gain valuable insights that guide decision-making.
Why Market Research Matters for Sourcing Companies
For a buying house like Ranchen International, market research ensures we align our sourcing strategies with market demands. From identifying trends in organic fabrics and sustainable fashion to understanding global preferences in home textiles and accessories, this process helps us stay ahead of the curve.
Market vs. Marketing Research
While often used interchangeably, market research focuses on understanding markets and distribution, whereas marketing research delves into processes like advertising and sales effectiveness. At RIPL, we employ both to enhance our sourcing strategies and provide tailored solutions to our clients.
By integrating market research into our business strategy, we continue to deliver premium, sustainable products that meet the evolving demands of the global market.
