User testing plays a critical role in industrial design by helping designers understand how people interact with products and how they can be improved to better meet the needs of users. During user testing, designers observe and collect feedback from individuals who represent the target market for the product. This feedback can be used to refine the design, identify flaws or usability issues, and ensure that the final product meets the users' needs and expectations. User testing helps industrial designers validate assumptions, test prototypes, and identify areas of improvement for the product, leading to better user experiences, increased satisfaction, and ultimately, greater commercial success.
