TUP 2022 released! (TUP’s 40th year)

We are pleased to announce that we have released results from the 40th annual wave of the ongoing TUP/Technology User Profile study. Four continuous decades of research results have helped guide most of the top technology firms with solid information. With its focus on the people who use and enjoy technology products and services, the TUP study continues its mission of helping our clients create the future.

Current subscribers may access the results through their own insights systems, the MetaFacts subscriber portal, or by contacting MetaFacts.

While most of our clients dive directly into the data and tables, we also offer our analysis. At present, we are analyzing the results, beginning by addressing the following questions. Many of these questions have been growing in importance for years, so we have earlier analysis and data available to provide a trend analysis and solid background on the changes in the market.
