ChangeWave Research, a service of 451 Research, is an independent survey research firm that identifies and quantifies "change" in consumer spending behavior, corporate purchasing and telecom industry trends.

ChangeWave publishes syndicated research reports based on a weekly series of proprietary large sample surveys of its ChangeWave survey network, a group of more than 25,000 business and technology professionals – along with early-adopter consumers. These individuals represent a broad cross section of vertical markets – including software, hardware, telecom, energy, healthcare, manufacturing and multiple retail sectors. The intelligence provided by ChangeWave provides a real-time view of changes in both corporate demand and consumer spending, as well as company, technology and business trends.

ChangeWave offers research reports via subscription to its three different survey series – ChangeWave Corporate Buying & Business Trends series, Telecom series and Consumer Spending & Electronics series. The research tracks the rate of change in demand trends well in advance of other sources and provides the results through a weekly service of published reports.
