The study involved 4 major activities in estimating the current size of the Ethernet storage fabric (ESF) market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information about the market, the peer market, and the parent market. Validating findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research has been the next step. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods have been used to estimate the market size of segments and sub segments.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information pertinent to this study. Secondary sources include annual reports; press releases; investor presentations; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain important information about the industry’s supply chain, value chain, total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottommost level), geographic markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research has been conducted after gaining knowledge about the ESF market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both demand (commercial application providers) and supply (equipment manufacturers and distributors) sides across 4 major regions: North America, Europe, APAC, and RoW. Approximately 20% and 80% primary interviews have been conducted with parties from demand and supply sides, respectively. The primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.
