Information Analysis & Research Approaches
We utilise multiple complementary approaches to ensure comprehensive, cross-validated market estimations and forecasts — tailored to the nature of each research question.
Bottom-Up Approach
Demand estimation built granularly from each country/region, summed upward to derive total market size.
- Demand estimation of each product across countries/regions, aggregated into total market
- Variable analysis for granular demand forecasting
- Company financials analysis via annual reports and paid databases
- Primary interviews for data revalidation and fresh insight collection
- Used extensively for existing market estimation and segment-level forecasting
Top-Down Approach
Start from global market totals and cascade down through penetration and product flow models.
- Used extensively for new product forecasting and penetration analysis
- Invoice product flow and market penetration models
- Regression multi-variant analysis for forward-looking forecasting
- Extensive use of both paid and public databases
- Vendor-based primary research for variable impact analysis
Combined / Mixed Approach
Derived via commodity flow and demand/consumption models for full-coverage analysis.
- Blends bottom-up demand estimates with top-down supply-side data
- Commodity flow and consumption models at core
- QFD (Quality Functional Deployment) modelling for market share assessment
- Triangulation of multiple data sources reduces estimation error
- Preferred for complex, multi-segment global markets
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting
We model markets from both ends of the value chain to arrive at the most robust, cross-validated market figures possible.
Supply Side Estimates
Understanding revenue potential through competitive benchmarking & penetration modelling
- Company revenue estimation via annual reports, investor presentations, and Hoover's
- Segment revenue determination through variable analysis and penetration modelling
- Competitive benchmarking to identify market leaders and their collective revenue shares
- Forecasting via commercialisation rates, pipeline, market initiatives, and distribution networks
Demand Side Estimates
Identifying parent and ancillary markets with heuristic segment forecasting
- Identifying parent markets and ancillary markets for full landscape coverage
- Segment penetration analysis to obtain pertinent revenue and volume data
- Heuristic forecasting with the help of domain subject matter experts
- Forecasting via variable analysis aligned to market-specific growth drivers
Bottom-Up Pyramid Approach
Each level validated independently before aggregation
Statistical Modelling & Forecasting
We design unique econometric and technical models — iterative and customisable to minimise errors and improve forecast accuracy.
