The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the UQD coupling market. Exhaustive secondary research helped collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. 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 complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect necessary information for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, websites, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain critical information about the industry’s supply chain, the market’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottom-most level), regional markets, and key developments from market- and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary data has been collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.

Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for this report. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts, such as chief executive officers (CEOs), vice presidents (VPs), marketing directors, technology and innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations operating in the UQD coupling market. After the complete market engineering (calculations for market statistics, market breakdown, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation), extensive primary research was conducted to gather information and verify and validate the critical numbers arrived at. Primary research was also conducted to identify the segmentation types, industry trends, competitive landscape of UQD coupling solutions offered by various market players, and key market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, industry trends, and key player strategies.
In the complete market engineering process, the top-down and bottom-up approaches and several data triangulation methods were extensively used to perform the market estimation and market forecasting for the overall market segments and subsegments listed in this report. Extensive qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed on the complete market engineering process to list the key information/insights throughout the report.
Note: Other designations include sales, marketing, and product managers.
The three tiers of the companies have been defined based on their total revenue as of 2023: tier 1: revenue greater than USD 1 billion, tier 2: revenue between USD 500 million and USD 1 billion, and tier 3: revenue less than USD 500 million.

Market Size Estimation
In the complete market engineering process, top-down and bottom-up approaches and several data triangulation methods have been used to estimate and forecast the overall market segments and subsegments listed in this report. Key players in the market have been identified through secondary research, and their market shares in the respective regions have been determined through primary and secondary research. This entire procedure includes the study of annual and financial reports of the top market players and extensive interviews for key insights (quantitative and qualitative) with industry experts (CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives).
All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources. All the parameters affecting the markets covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data. This data has been consolidated and supplemented with detailed inputs and analysis from MarketsandMarkets and presented in this report. The following figure represents this study’s overall market size estimation process.
