customer needs

What buyers want

Customer needs are the requirements, desires, or problems that drive someone to seek a product or service.

The phrase dominates business and marketing contexts, where understanding customer needs shapes everything from product development to sales strategy: We conducted surveys to identify customer needs.

The term encompasses both explicit demands customers articulate and latent needs they may not recognize until a solution appears.
