Methodology
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 Hoovers 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 impacts
• Regulatory scenario and expected developments
• Technological developments and demographic trends
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. All our estimates and forecast are verified through exhaustive primary research with Key Industry Participants (KIPs) which typically include:
• Market-leading companies
• Technology distributors and vendors
• Vendors
These exhaustive primary interviews help our analysts in validating market and segment estimates and forecast. Additionally, we also gain significant industry insights, key developments and expectations. Grand View Research only utilizes validated and authenticated secondary data sources. Some of the secondary sources used for this report include but are not limited to:
• IEEE
• Energy Storage Association
• American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)
• SNIA
• ACS Publications
• Company Annual Reports
• Hoovers
