What is HM Market Research?

You may know Heavy Manufacturing by another name: Heavy Industry. HM focuses less on the consumer than the light industry sector. But, it uses much more capital. Further, it often involves extracting and using raw materials to produce goods. Thus HM has quite an impact on several industries.

Examples of HM are:

1. Shipbuilding

2. Machine tool building

3. Steel production

4. Mining

5. Chemical products

HM also includes the making of equipment used for agriculture and construction.

One of the leading market drivers in this sector is the increase in construction spending around the world. But, coming up with new products in the HM sector calls for huge capital outlays. Thus, small companies in this sector can only produce specialized machinery.

Here are four reasons why Market Research benefits the HM industry:

1. It helps industry players to get primary insights. As a matter of fact, it’s rare to get such insights from secondary sources.

2. It helps makers of HM products to identify buyer personas

3. It helps them to identify content and methods that will keep them relevant

4. It helps them to reduce risk
