Simple:

 

1) Market Research

and

2)Research and Development (R&D)

 

These two are critical to understanding the market as well as predicting the market. Apple did that well for a couple of years. Samsung has been doing that very well with its line of Galaxy phones as well. They spend millions of dollars into R&D to make this happen.
