The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were employed to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information important for this study. These secondary sources include thermal printing technology journals and magazines, IEEE journals; annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; certified publications and articles from recognized authors; and directories and databases such as Factiva, Hoovers, and OneSource.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both supply and demand sides have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information important for this report. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as CEOs, VPs, marketing directors, technology and innovation directors, and related executives from key companies and organizations operating in the thermal printing market. After complete market engineering (including calculations regarding market statistics, market breakdown, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation), extensive primary research was conducted to gather information as well as to verify and validate the critical numbers arrived at.
