Data availability has increased significantly in many shapes and forms, including online customer reviews. This review data has great potential to be a source of information for manufacturers to understand consumer needs and preferences. Nonetheless, customer reviews are still heavily underutilized by manufacturers due to the unstructured nature of the data.

This study proposes a framework to track and analyze how customer preferences evolve with respect to time through big data analytics with Natural Language Processing. The framework leverages on word frequency analysis and sentiment analysis to derive product feature importance and performance. The following results will be aggregated in a sentiment-based importance-performance analysis model to understand which product features are most in need of improvement.
