Market Size Estimation

For making market estimates and forecasting the Social Media Analytics 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 Social Media Analytics 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 segments.

The top-down approach prepared an exhaustive list of all the vendors offering Social Media Analytics. 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 solution and service offerings, analytics types, business functions, and verticals. The aggregate of all the companies' revenues 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.

In the bottom-up approach, the adoption rate of Social Media Analytics hardware, 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 Social Media Analytics hardware, 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.

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 Social Media Analytics solutions and services based on some of the key use cases.
