We implement a mix of primary and secondary research for our market estimate and forecast. Secondary research forms the initial phase of our study, where we conduct extensive data mining, referring to verified data sources such as independent studies, government and regulatory published material, technical journals, trade magazines paid data sources such as Hoover’s, Factiva, ICIS and so on. This forms the basis of our estimates. For forecasting, the following parameters are considered:

• Market drivers and restraints, along with their current and expected impact
• Regulatory scenario and expected developments

We assign weights to these parameters and quantify their market impact using weighted average analysis, to derive an expected market growth rate. Further, we use correlation, regression and time-series analysis to evaluate key industry dynamics.
