Research Methodology:
Ocean Freight Market Size Estimation
To estimate market size and trends, we use a combination of top-down and bottom-up methods. This allows us to evaluate the market from various perspectives—by company, region, product type, and end users.
Our estimates are based on actual sales data, excluding any discounts. Segment breakdowns and market shares are calculated using weighted averages based on usage rates and average prices. Regional insights are determined by how widely a product or service is adopted in each area.
Key companies are identified through secondary sources like industry reports and company filings. We then verify revenue estimates and other key data points through primary research, including interviews with industry experts, company executives, and decision-makers.
We take into account all relevant factors that could influence the market and validate our findings with real-world input. Our final insights combine both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a well-rounded view. Please note, these estimates do not account for unexpected changes such as inflation, economic downturns, or policy shifts.
