Acacia Research Group conducts primary research via interviews and surveys with product vendors, technology suppliers and, where possible, distributors, and end users of the given technology. Based on that survey data, Acacia analysts make certain assumptions to extrapolate market sizing and forecasts.
Where primary research is not available, forecast assumptions are based on extensive analyst knowledge of given industries and the market dynamics necessary for growth or decline in that market.
In assessing the installed base of a certain technology, Acacia analysts make assumptions on the life span of those technologies and calculate the possible retirement rate to arrive at the installed base.
Occasionally Acacia Research Group will cite third-party data. The copyright holder of that data is responsible for collection and analysis methods employed for their own data collection and extrapolation.
Acacia Research Group engaged the services of Daniel Research Group to design and develop custom Excel/VBA-based modeling tools to support and facilitate the forecasting process. These tools allowed Acacia Research Group to accurately and efficiently transform qualitative assessments of technology and market trend, accelerators, and inhibitors into quantitative terms. The tools utilized Daniel Research Groups SegmentSolver and MatrixSolver proprietary methodologies.
