1.1 FORECASTING TECHNIQUES

We at MRFR follow an extensive process for arriving at market estimations, which involves the use of multiple forecasting techniques, as mentioned below.

Forecasting Techniques

Description

Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

A combination of qualitative approach, i.e., primary interviews with industry experts to understand the interviewees’ opinions and judgments, more commonly known as the Delphi method, and quantitative analysis to forecast future data based on historical and current data.

Weighted Average Approach

Via this approach, future data is calculated based on the mean of the past data under the assumption that some factors affecting the market in the past will continue to have a similar impact in the future.

Drift Method

This approach is used to vary the forecast, that is, increase or decrease market factor over time depending on various parameters affecting the change in the trends of the market.

Time Series Methods

The integration of several time series methods such as moving average, moving weighted average, linear prediction, and trend estimation is applied while determining the year-on-year growth rate and the compound annual growth rate of the market being studied.

Causal/Econometric Forecasting Methods

Various economic factors such as inflation rate, fiscal policies, changes in government regulations, taxes, labor costs, and interest rates are taken into consideration while determining the current market size and predicting the future market growth rate.

Judgmental Methods

This involves a collection of intuitive judgment, opinions, and probability estimates from industry experts in the case of new or upcoming markets/technologies for which no prior data is available.

Regression Analysis

This type of statistical modeling is carried out for predicting and forecasting dependent and independent variables that will directly or indirectly impact the market.

Probabilistic Forecasting

This forecasting method is carried out to assign a probability to every possible outcome ranging from the least optimistic to highly optimistic, which helps in gauging the market under stable conditions.

PESTLE Analysis

Political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors are taken into consideration while deriving the fluctuations in the growth rate of the market.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis

By understanding the supplier-side and demand-side factors, the current market scenario can be estimated, and future market scenarios predicted, which aid in deriving the growth rate of the market.

1.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY FOR MARKET SIZE ESTIMATION

Understanding the market in terms of valuation is a crucial task. This becomes significantly important while investing in and choosing the correct business opportunities. In this regard, we at MRFR undertake two market sizing approaches simultaneously, namely, the top-down and bottom-up approaches. In this step, we assess different data points, numeric attributes, information, and industry trends to arrive at the estimates and forecast values for the coming years. We use different mathematical models to estimate the market sizes of different economies and segments, each of which is further summed up to define the total market.

We at MRFR employ a proprietary statistical tool for market estimations, which helps us to arrive at market size estimates and forecasts for different markets and industries.

1.1.1 BOTTOM-UP APPROACH

In the bottom-up approach, the revenue of key companies and their shares in the market are assessed to deduce the market size.
