TECHNIQUES USED IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

TOP-DOWN APPROACH- In the top-down approach, the global market was further divided into a percentage split of categories based on geographies and then the market for major countries. The top-down approach assisted in reaching the global market size of each category. The category’s market size was further broken down into the regional market size of each segment. The global market size was then cross-checked with the market size arrived with the help of bottom-up approach. The top-down approach is majorly used to analyze penetration levels and for new product offerings. The top-down approach comprises extensive use of public and paid databases along with the primary interviews with the key opinion leaders (KOLs), manufacturers, distributors, etc.

BOTTOM-UP APPROACH- In the bottom-up approach, Constancy Researchers arrived at the regional market size of the market, which then added up to reach the global market size. The bottom-up approach is one of the utmost reliable approaches as the data and information related to the specific market are directly acquired from the major players in the market, about their involvement in that market and it also involves the primary interviews with the key opinion leaders (KOLs) associated with the organizations considered during the research for data revalidation and insight collection. Also, if the market is niche with a huge number of private players involved, the market size is achieved with the help of estimating the size of the sub-category at the country level, which is then added up to reach the category size at the regional level and then to the global market size of the specific market. During the bottom-up approach variable analysis for the demand forecast and demand estimation after analyzing company financials, annual reports, and paid databases is done.
