Qualitative research is booming.
What once relied on in-person interviews and post-it-note analysis has transformed into a dynamic ecosystem of digital ethnography, AI-assisted synthesis, multimodal feedback, and always-on qualitative intelligence.
More than 70% of all qualitative research now happens digitally, supported by platforms that blend video, text, emotion and behaviour with GenAI-powered analysis.
But if technology can add speed and scale to research, only human creativity, empathy and storytelling can make it meaningful.
