The market information comes from official sources and includes insights from at least 20 market experts (representatives of the main market participants), gathered through semi-structured interviews. A detailed methodology is available upon request.
A crucial component of the methodology is the consumer behavior survey, an indispensable tool for monitoring customers sentiments and preferences. The survey methodology utilizes precision targeting to identify and engage 250 respondents who closely match the profile of your target audience. Depending on your requirements, a survey with a larger sample of respondents can be commissioned and you can directly ask your target audience specific questions to get verified insights.
The approach also includes an in-depth financial analysis, which is built on carefully researched data, with the ultimate goal of creating actionable insights for your business. The classic valuation method of discounted cash flow (DCF) is utilized. In the process, some key financial indicators are developed to serve you as a tool for quantifying and validating your vision. The collected data and insights are then applied in the analysis of your project, to assess its commercial viability in light of the market dynamics, trends, and challenges.
