Hi Arif,
A good source of information can be large city libraries, which often have research departments. You can ask the researcher for specific information about a topic and they will gather together everything they can find and give it to you to read or photocopy. They may also have access to the likes of Mintel reports, which are sector specific and quite costly to buy.

Hi Arif,
If you live in or near London, I suggest you go along to the Business and IP Centre at the British Library as they have a very wide range of information resources, including market research reports that you can access for free (http://www.bl.uk/bipc/resources.html)

Hi,
The Business and IP Centre at the British Library is definitely where to start, a really good place to give you some information for your secondary market research (existing info).
Then, it is important also to do some primary market research, to test YOUR precise project with YOUR precise target market. Online research has revolutionised this kind of market research because it offers the chance to eliminate the costs involved with face-to-face, postal and telephone data collection.
Have a look or feel free to ask me more information.
