Top-down industry forecasts are a 'dime-a-dozen.' They might be helpful for a high-level marketing pitch, but not much else.
The underlying assumptions that drive industry forecasts usually are much more helpful than the forecast itself since they indicate market sentiment and provide a basis for sensitivity analyses. With a Tolaga forecast, you don't just get Excel charts and forecast numbers. Instead, you get entire 'bottom-up' forecast models that precisely lay out key assumptions, data sources, and methodology. In particular:

  • Demand drivers and use cases are identified relative to the addressable markets and incorporated directly into the forecast models.
  • Industry Maturity Indices identify market expansion and inflection points.
  • Historical growth profiles, such as for cloud service revenues, 4G-LTE and mobile subscriber adoption, and mobile network expansions, are modeled mathematically and are directly applied to the forecasts.
  • Since the models are developed bottom-up, they are easily modified to consider specific markets, geographies, and technologies without losing consistency.
