What do market research companies do?
Market research companies design questionnaires, interview consumers and businesses, run panels and focus groups and analyse sales and media data. Their clients are brands, retailers, media owners, political parties and public bodies that want evidence before they decide.
Our data comes from the business registers of 31 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for market research companies: they sit in SIC codes 8732 (commercial economic, sociological, and educational research) and 8742 (management consulting services), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for market research firms.
