One of the main reasons for conducting user research is to validate or invalidate assumptions about users. Without user research, designers may assume that they know what users want or need, but in reality, these assumptions may not be accurate. User research helps to confirm or disprove these assumptions, and it provides designers with a deeper understanding of users’ needs and goals.

Another important purpose of user research is to identify any usability issues with a product or service. Usability refers to how easy and efficient a product or service is to use. User research can be used to identify any usability issues with a product or service, and it can be used to make improvements to the design.

User research also helps to identify any accessibility issues with a product or service. Accessibility refers to how easy a product or service is to use for people with disabilities. User research can be used to identify any accessibility issues with a product or service, and it can be used to make improvements to the design.

User research can also be used to gather data about users’ preferences and behaviors. This data can be used to inform the design of a product or service and to ensure that it meets users’ needs.

Finally, user research is important because it helps to ensure that a product or service is user-centered. A user-centered design approach focuses on the needs and goals of the user, rather than the goals of the designer or the company. User research helps to ensure that a product or service is designed with the user in mind.
