Market Research

What are synthetic populations, how real are they and where do their biggest opportunities lie?

Synthetic data is a hot topic in market research. Buzzwords like “virtual audiences” and “persona bots” are dropped quickly, while clear definitions and tangible value often remain unclear.

What’s inside:

  • Definition: What synthetic populations are and how they differ from AI personas and synthetic respondents.
  • Practice: How these models are created, which quality criteria apply, and why Statista+ deliberately does not use generative LLMs.
  • Value: Where synthetic populations add real benefit and how they can support traditional market research.
