The research study involved four major steps in estimating the European smart home market size. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect important information about the market and peer markets. The next step has been to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with the help of primary research with industry experts across the value chain. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate the market size. After this, the market breakdown and data triangulation approaches have been adopted to estimate the market sizes of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources were referred to identify and collect information required for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, and articles from recognized authors. 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, country-level outlook, and developments from market and technology perspectives.
The European smart home report estimates the global market size using 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 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 European smart home market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from demand- and supply-side vendors across major countries— the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand-side vendors and 75% with the supply-side vendors. Primary data was collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which comprised 80% of the total primary interviews; questionnaires and emails were also used to collect the data.
After successful interaction with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce our primary research findings. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts' opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
Note: Others include sales, marketing, and product managers.
