X Ray Machine Market

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the X ray machine market for tire inspection. 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 top-down 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.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [for instance, publications of X ray machine manufacturers for tire inspection, American Society for Non-destructive Testing, International Committee for Non Destructive Testing, European Federation for Non Destructive Testing, ASTM International, International Organization for Standardization, International Electrotechnical Commission, Tire Industry Association, U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association, European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers Association, China Rubber Industry Association, Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association, All India Rubber Industries Association, and Society of Automotive Engineers)], X ray machine related magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, government organizations websites, and technical articles, company websites, whitepapers, databases, and articles from recognized associations and government publishing sources. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which was further validated by primary research for an extensive commercial study of the X-ray machine market for tire inspection..

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring an understanding of this market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and component manufacturers across four major regions: Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. Approximately 50% of primary interviews were conducted from the demand side and the supply side each. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, LinkedIn, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report.

Brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants were conducted to reinforce findings from primaries after interacting with industry experts. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, led to the findings described in the remainder of this report.

In the primary research process, various primary sources from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for the report. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts, such as Vice Presidents (VPs), marketing directors, technology and innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations. The primary sources from the demand side included end users, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), consultants, service professionals, technicians and technologists, and managers at public and investor-owned utilities.

Note: Others include purchase and sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.

Market Size Estimation

The top-down methodology was followed to estimate the size of the X ray machine market for tire inspection by technology. More than 30 companies were covered, and their X ray machine for tire inspection revenue was mapped after discussing with industry experts. Supply-side analysis was done, by technology, for understanding the revenue size of 2D and 3D CT. Revenue share breakdown for each of these segments was mapped by considering the revenue share of respective companies, mapped & verified by industry experts. Market penetration was mapped at the regional level for technology through secondary research, and insights were verified from industry experts. Segmentation for technology was determined by multiplying the market size by the penetration rate. Similarly, it was done for the system type and use case.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size using the market size estimation processes as 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, 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.
