Research Methodology | Polaris Market Research

1. Comprehensive Data Mining

Our research journey begins with extensive data mining to construct a reliable and expansive data foundation. We leverage both historical and real-time data sourced from:

• Verified proprietary databases and paid subscription platforms
• Company websites, SEC filings, product literature, and investor presentations
• Industry association publications and trade consortium reports
• Government databases and policy/regulatory repositories
• Reputable media, trade journals, white papers, and academic publications

This multi-source data architecture enables us to map the entire market ecosystem—spanning supply chains, regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, consumer behavior patterns, and emerging industry disruptors. We employ whitespace analysis, IP trend tracking, and patent landscape assessments (where applicable) to identify innovation zones and strategic whitespace opportunities.

2. Customized Statistical Modeling and Forecasting

Our market estimates and forecasts are derived from proprietary statistical models that are specifically designed for each research study. These models integrate:

• Econometric modeling for short-term forecasting (1–3 years)
• Technology lifecycle models for long-term projections (4–10 years)
• Time series analysis, correlation/regression modeling, and scenario-based simulation

Each model incorporates macroeconomic indicators, industry-specific growth drivers, technological evolution, demand elasticity, pricing shifts, and competitive intensity.

Key forecasting parameters include:

• Market drivers and restraints with real-time weight assignment
• Raw material supply-demand dynamics and pricing volatility
• Technological adoption curves and disruption patterns
• Regional capacity utilization and production additions
• Regulatory impact modeling and policy change scenarios

We follow both bottom-up and top-down estimation approaches. The bottom-up approach ensures granularity from regional and segmental perspectives, whereas the top-down approach allows consistency with broader industry indicators.
