Digital Signature Market

Secondary research was conducted to collect information useful for this technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the digital signature market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain using primary research. Different approaches, such as top-down and bottom-up, were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakup and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the size of the segments and sub-segments of the digital signature market.

Secondary Research

The market size of companies across the globe offering WCM products was arrived at based on the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources. It was also arrived at by analyzing the product portfolios of major companies and rating companies based on their performance and quality.

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources were referred to identify and collect information related to the study. Secondary sources included the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of digital signature vendors, forums, certified publications, and whitepapers. The secondary research was used to obtain critical information on the industry's value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation from the market and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the digital signature market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.
