Market research is more to understand the demand (numbers,  like for example selling Valves of a certain type then what is the estimated market size for  valves and which industries use them)  and Marketing research is how to engage the target market (how you will maket to the targetted users)

Market research is essential to starting a business, especially if you are choosing a business with a highly competitive base. I think that it will be useful for all novice entrepreneurs to learn more about the market research service. This will help you make the most intelligent start-up and perhaps think about changing your business niche or finding effective ways to outperform your competitors to grow successfully.
