Methodology
The data presented in this report are derived from a comprehensive study of the worldwide external ac-dc power supply market. The detailed forecasts are based on primary data gathered in discussions with major users of external ac-dc power supplies in all regions of the world. All OEM consumption data were gathered on a confidential basis. These consumption data were supplemented with a few discussions with major makers of external power supplies. It should be emphasized that the input into this study was the result of firsthand discussions with OEM users of external power supplies. The conversations with external power supply makers were limited and secondary in importance while preparing this report.
Primary data were obtained using "open questionnaires." A combination of telephone and inperson interviews were conducted. In-person interviews were conducted either in the plant where the individual works or at various trade shows. The interviews conducted at trade shows were typically performed in a more informal atmosphere and were generally very successful in gathering good quantities of hard data and insights from the individuals being interviewed. All interviews conducted in the course of this research were performed on a confidential basis. The data were used in combination with the responses from all other respondents.
The primary and secondary research included all possible major application areas for external power supplies. The data-gathering methodology included primary research and data collection in all regions worldwide and was not limited in any way to North America. Secondary research was performed using all available published sources including, but not limited to, nonproprietary, previously performed and related work by the Darnell Group, all available trade journals, proceedings from related trade conferences, previous industry studies, annual reports, 10Ks, advertising, product literature, and so on.
All the forecasts in this report are done on Excel worksheets, using Excel formulas. A formula is an equation that performs operations on worksheet data. The use of formulas in calculations can generate decimals, which require rounding to the nearest significant figure. As a result of rounding, the sum of a set of numbers may be different from what the numbers appear to add up to. This is because when the Excel spreadsheet adds up the numbers it takes into account the decimals that are not shown in the numbers. The reason we choose to leave the sums as they are is to retain the formulas in the spreadsheet and maintain the integrity of statistical analysis. |
