There are also emerging technologies or platforms, such as big data, artificial intelligence, social media, etc., which may also replace or complement the services of market research companies.

There are not only static relationships such as cooperation, competition and influence between market research companies and other industries, but also dynamic relationships such as interaction, communication and learning. On the one hand, there is a need for effective interaction and communication between market research companies and other industries to improve service quality and effectiveness. For example, market research companies need to fully communicate and negotiate with customers, understand their needs and expectations, design appropriate research programs and methods, and provide clear reports and suggestions; market research companies need to have good interaction and communication with the investigated objects, obtain true and effective data and information, and protect the privacy and rights of the investigated objects; market research companies need to actively interact and exchange with peers or other institutions, share experience and knowledge, and participate in the formulation and implementation of industry standards and norms. On the other hand, market research companies and other industries also need to continue to learn from each other and learn from each other to improve service levels and innovation capabilities.
