When Do You Need B2B Market Opportunity Research?
Cascade Insights’ B2B Market Opportunity Research is the perfect way to stay ahead of the game. Don’t get disrupted, be the disruptor.
You’re a New Company
Insights from market opportunity research can help a new company allocate resources effectively. Instead of frantically trying to do everything, this research can help new companies focus on marketing and sales tactics that will work.
Changes In The Market
With market opportunity research, established organizations can check their share of the total addressable market (TAM) relative to competitors and/or see if the serviceable addressable market (SAM) has changed.
Routine Checkup
Because the B2B tech landscape is rapidly changing, we recommend rerunning this research as frequently as every three years. For emerging high-value markets, it may be a good idea to rerun market opportunity research even more frequently.
15 Years In the Tech Sector, Thousands of Conversations With B2B Buyers
Our long history working exclusively in B2B tech means you won’t have to waste valuable time and budget getting us up-to-speed on the basics.
Our background allows us to customize study design and tap the most relevant data sources to give you a comprehensive view of your TAM and its edges. Of course, our research covers the basics like whether the market will be saturated with competitors or if you’re creating a new category. Our research also goes deeper to illuminate the kind of revenue this segment can provide and, most importantly, if it’s even worth going after.

“I am very impressed with Cascade Insights’ capability to deliver critical projects on time and with quality.

“Decision Lens is a small and growing software company, still trying to figure out the exact motivations of our market and our buyers. After watching our own efforts at market analysis drag along with all of our internal biases attached to them, we decided we had to enlist the help of experts. Cascade Insights stood out to us in our review of firms for their knowledge of technology, experience in B2B, and willingness to personalize the work to what we needed. And our experience during the project lived up to the expectations. The Cascade team delivered very thorough and targeted market interviews and provided the external analysis of the information that our organization and executives needed to see. We have since completed more market analysis initiatives with Cascade and will continue to do so into the future.”
— Matt Ipri, VP of Marketing, DecisionLens
“Making the right decisions. That is really what this is all about. Cincom needed better information, and we needed to be able to develop a consensus around the information that we ultimately would need to use. Cascade provided clarity. They shared thoroughly their process, made sure my team understood the value, and then they delivered. The research they provided will be a key ingredient to new growth and a coherent strategy for our entire business.”
— Larry Sumpter, Director of Brand and Corporate Strategy, Cincom
