Desk Research Desk Research

Desk research is the collection, study, systematization and analysis of secondary market information obtained from available sources. During desk research, the data collected from publicly accessible sources of information (periodicals, economic publications, statistical reference books, internal reports etc.) is processed in a certain way and consolidated into a report reflecting the objective market situation.

The term of desk research came from the format and the very essence of the researcher not having to leave their desk and conduct fieldwork in order to complete the study, analysis and systematization of the existing, available information.

Desk research is conducted in cases where the information being sought is in the public domain.

Desk research allows you to collect objective indicators without using a large amount of resources.

The reasons in favor of desk research are:

  • Preliminary data analysis for the purpose of formulating tasks needed for further field research can be easily conducted
  • Lower costs than a full field study
  • Easier than a full field study when there is no need for highly accurate data (express estimation);
  • The ability to estimate the influence of factors on the research
  • Changes over time can be easily monitored if needed
