11 Appendix

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current market size for silicone surfactants. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, peer markets, and the parent market. The next step was to validate the findings obtained from secondary sources, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, sources, such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Dun & Bradstreet, were referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. Other secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, whitepapers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, gold standard & silver standard websites, associations, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.

Primary Research

The silicone surfactants market comprises stakeholders, such as manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. The demand side of this market is characterized by developments in the personal care, construction, textile, paints & coatings, and agriculture end-use industries. The supply side is characterized by market consolidation activities undertaken by silicone surfactants manufacturers. Several primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation:

Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the silicone surfactants market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following:

• Key players in the industry and markets were identified through extensive secondary research.
• The industry’s supply chain and market size, in terms of value, were determined through primary and secondary research processes.
• All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.

Data Triangulation:

After arriving at the overall market size-using the market size estimation process 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, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
