Methodology for Market Size Estimates
For more than 25 years, Industrial Market Information has developed market demand and account potential estimates for thousands
of customers. There are three key components to the proprietary IMI model:
-
IMI aggregates and maintain a combination of government, private and industry databases for internal analysis.These include
the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Manufactures, NAICS/SIC code classifications, and more than 14 million business
establishment records through leading providers of commercial information in the U.S. and Canada.
-
The second component of our market analysis is a concept called ratio marketing. This allows IMI to segment customers of
industrial products based on their industry and NAICS/SIC code classification. Simply put, IMI uses an estimated dollar consumption
per employee per year to approximate total demand for a given product. Using all available data, IMI can profile the consumption
of more than 200 MRO and OEM product classes against nearly 1,000 NAICS code-defined customer segments. When verified against
national commercial databases, 85 percent to 90 percent of the actual market can be defined.
-
The third component for IMI’s market analysis is critical insight from IMI market analysts and consulting economists,
as well as ongoing feedback from customers. IMI’s 40+ years of industry experience has helped fine-tune IMI’s
estimates of the flow of dollars through distribution channels into end-use markets.
