Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the automotive actuators market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from demand (OEMs) and supply sides (automotive actuator and component manufacturers) across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Approximately 30%, 40%, and 30% of primary interviews were conducted with automotive actuator manufacturers, Tier 2 suppliers, and OEMs, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and marketing, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from primary areas. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led to the findings described in the remainder of this report.
