1.5 Key Considerations and Assumptions in Market Engineering and Validation

  •  Detailed secondary research to ensure maximum coverage of manufacturers / suppliers operational in a country.
  • 1Exact revenue information up to a certain extent will be extracted for each company from secondary sources and databases. Revenues specific to product / service / technology will then be estimated for each market player based on fact-based proxy indicators as well as primary inputs.
  • Based on the classification, the average selling price (ASP) is calculated using the weighted average method.
  • The currency conversion rate has been taken from the historical exchange rate of the Oanda and / or other relevant websites.
  • Any economic downturn in the future has not been taken into consideration for the market estimation and forecast.
  • The base currency considered for the market analysis is US$. Currencies other than the US$ have been converted to the US$ for all statistical calculations, considering the average conversion rate for that particular year.
  • The term “product” in this document may be refer to “service” or “technology” as and where relevant.
  • The term “manufacturers / suppliers” may refer to “service providers” or “technology providers” as and where relevant.
