gather quantitative and qualitative inputs on their operations, performance, strategies and
views on the overall market, including key developments and technology trends. Data from
interviews is consolidated, checked for consistency and accuracy, and the final market
numbers are again validated by experts. The global market was split by products, services
and geography based on different factors like primary and secondary sources,
understanding of the number of companies operating in each segment and also KOL
insights.
We have used various secondary sources such as directories, articles, white papers,
