Secondary research has been mainly done to obtain key information about the market’s value chain, the pool of key market players, market segmentation according to industry trends, regional outlook, and developments from both market and technology perspectives.
In the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market report, the global market size has been estimated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches, along with several other dependent submarkets. The major players in the market were identified using extensive secondary research, and their presence in the market was determined using secondary and primary research. All the percentage shares splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both demand- and supply-side vendors across 3 major regions—Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA). Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand-side vendors and 75% with the supply-side vendors. Primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which consist of 80% of the total primary interviews; questionnaires and emails have also been used to collect the data.
After successful interaction with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings of our primary research. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the report.
