RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research study for the 3D imaging market involved the use of extensive secondary sources, directories, as well as several journals, such as the Journal of the American College of Radiology, Journal of Imaging Science and Technology, and the International Journal of Imaging Processing to identify and collect the information useful for the comprehensive market research study on the 3D imaging market. The primary sources were mainly industry experts from the core and related industries, preferred 3D imaging hardware and solution providers, third-party service providers, consulting service providers, end users, and other commercial enterprises. In-depth interviews were conducted with various primary respondents, including key industry participants and subject-matter experts, to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information, as well as assess the prospects.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various sources were referred to, for identifying and collecting information for this study. The secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. The data was also collected from secondary sources, such as journals, and related magazines. Additionally, 3D imaging spending of various countries was extracted from the respective sources.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s value chain and supply chain to identify the key players by various hardware, solutions, services, market classifications, and segmentations according to offerings of the major players and industry trends related to components, verticals, and regions, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both supply and demand sides have been In the primary research process, various primary sources from both supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information of the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from 3D imaging solution vendors, system integrators, professional service providers, industry associations, and key opinion leaders.

Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights, such as market statistics, data of revenue collected from the hardware, solutions, and services, market breakups, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to technology, application, deployment, and region. Stakeholders from demand side, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), and Chief Strategy Officers (CSOs), and installation teams of the governments/end users who are using 3D imaging solutions were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, service providers, and their current usage of 3D imaging hardware and solutions which would affect the overall 3D imaging market.

Market Size Estimation

For making market estimates and forecasting the 3D Imaging market and the other dependent submarkets, top-down and bottom-up approaches were used. The bottom-up procedure was used to arrive at the overall market size of the global 3D Imaging market, using the revenue from the key companies and their offerings in the market. With data triangulation and validation through primary interviews, this study determined and confirmed the exact value of the overall parent market size. The overall market size was then used in the top-down procedure to estimate the size of other individual markets via percentage splits of the market seents.

In the top-down approach, an exhaustive list of all the vendors who offer the hardware, solutions, and services in the global 3D imaging market was prepared. The revenue contribution of all the vendors in the market was estimated through annual reports, press releases, funding, investor presentations, paid databases, and primary interviews. Each vendor was evaluated based on its offerings by deployment mode, organization size, and vertical. The aggregate of all the companies’ revenue was extrapolated to reach the overall market size. Each subsegment was studied and analyzed for its global market size and regional penetration. The markets were triangulated through both primary and secondary research. The primary procedure included extensive interviews for key insights from the industry leaders, such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives. The market numbers were further triangulated with the existing MarketsandMarkets’ repository for validation.

In the bottom-up approach, the adoption of 3D imaging hardware and solutions among different end users in key countries with respect to their regions that contribute the most to the market share was identified. For cross-validation, the adoption of 3D imaging hardware, solutions, and services among different industries, along with different use cases with respect to their regions, was identified and extrapolated. In addition, weightages have been given to use cases identified in different regions for the market size calculation.

All the possible parameters that affect the market covered in the research study have been accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to get the final quantitative and qualitative data. The data is consolidated and added with detailed inputs and analysis from MarketsandMarkets.

• The pricing trend is assumed to vary over time.
• All the forecasts are made with the standard assumption that the accepted currency is USD.
• For the conversion of various currencies to USD, average historical exchange rates are used according to the year specified. For all the historical and current exchange rates required for calculations and currency conversions, the US Internal Revenue Service's website is used.
• All the forecasts are made under the standard assumption that the globally accepted currency USD, remains constant during the next five years.
• Vendor-side analysis: The market size estimates of associated solutions and services are factored in from the vendor side by assuming an average of licensing and subscription-based models of leading and innovative vendors.
• Demand/end-user analysis: End users operating in verticals across regions are analyzed in terms of market spending on geospatial analytics based on some of the key use cases. These factors for the geospatial analytics per region are separately analyzed, and the average spending was extrapolated with an approximation based on assumed weightage. This factor is derived by averaging various market influencers, including recent developments, regulations, mergers and acquisitions, enterprise/SME adoption, start-up ecosystem, IT spending, technology propensity and maturity, use cases, and the estimated number of organizations per region.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size using the market size estimation processes as explained above, the market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation and market breakup procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The overall market size was then used in the top-down procedure to estimate the size of other individual markets via percentage splits of the market segmentation.
