Market Size Estimation

Multiple approaches were adopted to estimate and forecast the game-based learning market. The first approach involved estimating the market size by companies’ revenue generated by selling game-based learning products.

Market Size Estimation Methodology- Top-down approach

In the top-down approach, an exhaustive list of all the vendors offering products in the game-based learning market was prepared. 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 software, services, deployment mode, game type, integration type, application, and region. The markets were triangulated through 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 game-based learning products among various verticals in key countries relative to the regions that contribute most to market share was identified. For cross-validation, the adoption of game-based learning products among enterprises, along with different use cases concerning their regions, was identified and extrapolated. Use cases identified in different regions were given weightage for the market size calculation.

Based on the market numbers, the regional split was determined by primary and secondary sources. The procedure included an analysis of the game-based learning 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 game-based learning providers, and organic and inorganic business development activities of regional and global players were estimated.

Data Triangulation

After determining the overall market size using the market size estimation processes as explained above, the market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakup procedures were employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment. 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.
