At Emerging Trajectories, we’re fortunate to collaborate with forward-thinking leaders who are shaping how industries evolve.
Recently, Dr. Richard Wong, Head of Advanced Analytics, Market Analysis, & Chief Economist at HP, shared this powerful reflection on LinkedIn — highlighting the transformative role that AI agents and LLMs can play in modern market analysis and forecasting. His words speak to the shift that’s underway in how organizations harness data for real-time insight.
"The analysis and forecast of new markets is an age-old business problem, as the lack of historical structured data prevents rigorous and accurate analysis with traditional methods. This challenge is most acute in predicting the adoption of new and rapidly evolving markets. Turning to AI agents for the solution has fundamentally transformed our approach to market analysis and forecasting, enabling us to gain valuable real-time insights from a multitude of data sources and types.
Collaborating with Emerging Trajectories (ET), efficiently scaled up the ability to leverage advanced LLM-based agents, providing insights into customer sentiment, purchasing intent, and new technology adoption speeds. The results were compelling: faster and valuable insight generation, broader and granular customer segment coverage, with consistent rigor preserved throughout.ET augments and enhances research capabilities with always-on research, operating at a scale that is more cost-effective and efficient than fielding traditional market surveys for insights. It reads local news and niche data sources written in different languages, continuously tracking signals around the clock, producing succinct, structured, importance-scored, and high-fidelity market insights that are precisely tuned to the dynamics of targeted markets.
The shift is both practical and profound, allowing more time to focus on interpretation and action, and less on repetitive research. Market modeling has evolved toward a real-time, adaptive, and multidimensional approach, where constantly changing market signals, sentiment, and dynamics actively inform and enrich the forecasting practice.
The future of market analysis isn’t better spreadsheets; it’s in having the right tool that can detect, analyze, and interpret the complex, interconnected, always-on, invisible signals that can be the difference between success and failure."
His post encapsulates how real-time, adaptive systems are replacing static research methods — enabling organizations to act with more clarity and precision in global markets.
We’re excited to help unlock this kind of progress at scale.
