iProcureNet developed a market analysis of the most promising segments.
Prior market analysis or market research
- Is a search for products and suppliers that fall within the scope of each specific segments
- Analyses the state of art of a given sector
- Can be formal: preliminary market consultation
- Can be informal: asking within networks, “googling” solutions, ask colleagues, collecting information on conferences or fairs
Steps to conduct market analysis
- Identification of possible suppliers of security solutions
- Engage with the market
-
- Learn about innovation in segments from market players
- Collecting, through an online survey, the information about suppliers that could deliver the products and solutions in each specific segment
- Information will include suppliers size, market power, previous experience within the EU market
- Analyses should provide, at least, 3 suppliers, including suppliers from other Member States
Solution comparison where possible
- The online survey contained specific questions aimed at getting detailed information about products and possible solutions
- The available solutions are classified based on the following:
- Cost-benefit analysis,
- Identification of different technical properties and performance, and
- The total cost of ownership over the whole life cycle of solutions.
Assessment of each market in given segment.
