Secondary Research

The market size of companies offering DRaaS was based on the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources and by analyzing the product portfolios of major companies in the ecosystem and rating the companies based on their product capabilities and business strategies. In the secondary research process, various sources were referred to for identifying and collecting information for the study. The secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, product data sheets, white papers, journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, government websites, directories, and databases.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives, all of which were further validated by primary sources.

The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, including Chief Experience Officers (CXOs); Vice Presidents (VPs); directors from business development, marketing, and product development/innovation teams; and related key executives from DRaaS vendors, industry associations, independent consultants, and key opinion leaders.

Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights, such as market statistics, the latest trends disrupting the market, new use cases implemented, data on revenue collected from products and services, market breakups, market size estimations, market forecasts, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding various trends related to technology, service type, deployment, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), the installation teams of governments/end users using DRaaS, and digital initiatives project teams, were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on suppliers, products, service providers, and their current use of solutions, which would affect the overall DRaaS market.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and forecast the DRaaS market and other dependent submarkets. The bottom-up procedure was deployed to arrive at the overall market size using the revenues and offerings of the key companies in the market. With data triangulation methods 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.
