The study involved four major activities in estimating the current market size of the vehicles for disabled market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across value chains through primary research. The bottom-up approach was employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [for example, publications of Motability Charity in the UK, Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA), country-level automotive associations and government organizations for disabled people, and National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) in the US, National Highway Traffic and Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the US], mobility solutions for disabled people magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, and technical articles have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global vehicles for disabled market.
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of this market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs and third-party customization companies (in terms of equipment supply, country-level government associations, dealers and trade associations) and customization service providers across three major regions, namely, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. Approximately 25% and 75% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand- and supply-side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, LinkedIn, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, marketing, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries.
