The study involved four major activities to estimate the current global size of the syntactic foam market. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to gather information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizes with the industry experts across the value chain of syntactic foam through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the overall size of the syntactic foam market. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to determine the size of different segments and sub-segments of the market.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, sources such as Business Standard, Bloomberg, World Bank, and Factiva were referred to, to identify and collect information for this study on the syntactic foam market. These secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.
Primary Research
Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the syntactic foam market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), vice presidents, marketing directors, sales professionals, and related key executives from various leading companies and organizations operating in the syntactic foam industry. The breakdown of the profiles of primary respondents is as follows:

Market Size Estimation
Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the global size of the syntactic foam market. These approaches were also used extensively to estimate the size of various dependent segments of the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following details:
-
The key players 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.
-
All possible parameters that affect the markets covered in this research study were accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data.
-
The research includes the study of reports, reviews, and newsletters of key industry players, along with extensive interviews with key officials, such as directors and marketing executives.
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and sub-segments. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments of the syntactic foam market. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand- and supply-side.
In addition, the market size was validated by using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches. Then, it was verified through primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there are three sources—top-down approach, bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. The data were assumed to be correct when the values arrived at from the three sources matched.
Market Definition
Syntactic foam is a lightweight, high-strength composite material made by incorporating micro or macro-spheres within a matrix. The spheres are made from glass or ceramic or metal. The matrix can be made from polymer, ceramic, and metal. Most of the syntactic foam is made using glass micro-spheres and polymer matrix. It is used in marine and subsea applications for buoyancy purposes.
