Approach 2: End user-based market estimation
During preliminary secondary research, the total sales revenue of analytical standards was estimated and validated at the regional and country level, triangulated, and validated to estimate the global market value. This process involved the following steps:
-
Generating a list of major customer facilities across each Region and country
-
Identifying the average number of analytical standards product supplies used by major customer facilities across each product type at the regional/country level, annually
-
Identifying the percentage contribution of major customer facilities to the overall analytical standards expenditure and usage at the regional/country level, annually
-
Extrapolating the annual usage patterns for various products across major customer facilities to estimate the size of each product segment at the regional/country level, annually

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the market size estimation process explained above, the global analytical standards market was split into segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Additionally, the analytical standards market was validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches.
