RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES

Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. Because there is a chain of markets involved in the report, the markets have been assessed via the top-down method. The macro markets have been analyzed and qualitative information was taken into consideration for forecasting the market values of the segments. The historic and base numbers were derived from both primary and secondary sources. These numbers were further distributed to the micro segments that were effectively validated by the market players and the secondary sources. The other contents of the report were derived from the primary research that includes key market participants, key opinion leaders, and research institutes. Secondary data was gathered from paid sources such as Factiva and OneSource and other free sources such as SEC filings and company websites.
