A market requirements document (MRD) in project management and systems engineering, is a document that expresses the customer's wants and needs for the product or service.

It is typically written as a part of product marketing or product management. The document should explain:

• What (new) product is being discussed.
• Who the target customers are.
• What products are in competition with the proposed one.
• Why customers are likely to want this product.
