The study involved significant activities in estimating the current market size for PTaaS. Intensive secondary research was conducted to collect information about PTaaS and related ecosystems. The industry executives validated these findings and assumptions and sized them across the value chain using a primary research process as a next step. Top-down and bottom-up market estimation approaches were used to estimate the market size globally, followed by the market breakup and data triangulation procedures to assess the market segment and sub-segments in PTaaS.
Secondary Research Process:
Various sources were referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect PTaaS information. These sources include annual reports, press releases, PTaaS software and service vendor investor presentations, forums, vendor-certified publications, and industry/association white papers. These secondary sources were utilized to obtain critical information about PTaaS's solutions and services supply & value chain, a list of 100+ key players and SMEs, market classification, and segmentation per the industry trends and regional markets. The secondary research also gives us insights into the key developments from market and technology perspectives, which primary respondents further validated.
The factors considered for estimating the regional market size include technological initiatives undertaken by governments of different countries, GDP growth, ICT spending, recent market developments, and market ranking analysis of primary PTaaS solutions and service vendors.
Primary Research Process:
We have conducted primary research with industry executives from both the supply and demand sides. The primary sources from the supply side include chief executive officers (CEOs), vice presidents (VPs), marketing directors, and technology and innovation executives of key companies operating in the PTaaS market. We have conducted primary interviews with the executives to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for PTaaS.
The market engineering process implemented the top-down and bottom-up approaches and various data triangulation methods to estimate and forecast the market segments and subsegments. During the post-market engineering process, we conducted primary research to verify and validate the critical numbers we arrived at. The primary analysis was also undertaken to identify the segmentation types, industry trends, the competitive landscape of the PTaaS market players, and fundamental market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, industry trends, and key strategies.
Market Size Estimation Process:
Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were implemented for market size estimation to estimate, project, and forecast the size of the global and other dependent sub-segments in the overall PTaaS market.
