Market Estimation Process

Primary & Secondary Approach


The Ship Propulsion System is analyzed by both primary and secondary research sources. There are numerous methodologies available to navigate and utilize these resources effectively:
Surveys and Questionnaires: Getting feedback from healthcare professionals, patients, or any other stakeholders on a particular topic. It is a great method to collect quantitative data on behaviors, preferences, and/or experiences.
One on Ones: Interviews with key stakeholders, including physicians, nurses, and administrators can yield rich qualitative data. The interviews can be divided into structured, semi-structured, or unstructured.


Focus Groups: Pull together small numbers of people who share a common characteristic, trait, or behavior to discuss particular topics. Focus Groups: This offers qualitative data and points of view that are often overlooked, such as attitudes, perceptions, or other statements relating to a specific platform.


Observational Studies: Understanding healthcare practices and patient interactions in the way we do it can say a lot more than what people formally report doing.
Field Studies: This method allows researchers to collect data firsthand from healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and even home. It is a way to touch and feel the context that drives service delivery in healthcare.
Secondary Research in Ship Propulsion System
Secondary research is a kind of revising, restructuring, and rethinking what has already been collected by primary sources. Such research is beneficial as long as it comes at a low cost and gives an overarching view of the market. Some of the important methods include:
