13 Appendix  

The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size for water soluble packaging. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, 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 were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Dun & Bradstreet were referred to, in order to identify and collect information for this study. These secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, food safety organizations, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.

Primary Research

The market comprises several stakeholders, such as raw material suppliers, processors, end-product manufacturers, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. The demand-side of the market is characterized by the presence of various industrial products processors such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, water treatment and agriculture, importers/exporters, and research institutions. The supply-side is characterized by the presence of key water-soluble raw material manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, researchers, and service providers. Various primary sources from both the supply- and demand-sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Given below is the breakdown of the primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation

Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the water soluble packaging 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 includes the following:

• The key players were identified through extensive primary and secondary research.
• The value chain and market size of the water soluble packaging market, in terms of value, were determined through primary and secondary research.
• All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
• All possible parameters that affect the market 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 included the study of reports, reviews, newsletters of top market players, along with extensive interviews for opinions from key leaders, such as CEOs, directors, and marketing executives.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process described above, the total market was split into several segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments, 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. In addition, the market size was validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches. It was then verified through primary interviews. Hence, three approaches were adopted-top-down approach, bottom-up approach, and the one involving expert interviews. Only when the values arrived at from the three points match, the data is assumed to be correct.
