Secondary data has already been collected by and readily available from other sources. It is cheaper and easier to obtain than primary data. It helps provide an understanding of the problem and allows for comparison of the primary data collected. Secondary data can also be used as study to determine if and where mistakes or deficiencies exist in either set of data.
