Market Size Estimation Methodology-Top-down approach

The top-down approach prepared an exhaustive list of all the vendors offering solutions and services in the cloud-based contact center market. The revenue contribution of the market vendors was estimated through annual reports, press releases, funding, investor presentations, paid databases, and primary interviews. Each vendor’s offerings were evaluated based on the breadth of software and services according to communication channel, application, vertical, and deployment models. 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 industry leaders, such as CIOs, CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives. The market numbers were further triangulated with the existing MarketsandMarkets’ repository for validation.

Market Size Estimation Methodology-Bottom-up approach

In the bottom-up approach, the adoption rate of cloud-based contact center solutions and services among different end users in key countries with respect to their regions contributing the most to the market share was identified. For cross-validation, the adoption of cloud-based contact center solutions and services among industries, along with different use cases with respect to their regions, was identified and extrapolated. Weightage was given to use cases identified in different regions for the market size calculation.

Based on the market numbers, the regional split was determined by primary and secondary sources. The procedure included the analysis of the cloud-based contact center market’s regional penetration. Based on secondary research, the regional spending on Information and Communications Technology (ICT), socio-economic analysis of each country, strategic vendor analysis of major cloud-based contact center providers, and organic and inorganic business development activities of regional and global players were estimated.
