The document discusses interpreting customer needs for chemical product design. It explains that customer needs should be organized into groups of essential, desirable, and useful needs. The new product must meet all essential needs to succeed, and ideally meet many desirable needs that competing products do not. For existing products, defining needs is easier since how the current product is used is known. For new products, needs may need to be grouped by target market or function, and customers may need to be re-engaged to more tightly specify needs.
