Market research is the objective study of a subject using data gathered through primary research to characterize, analyze and forecast demand and supply for, in this case, the photovoltaic industry. It is a specific discipline where something is counted from point a to point b, then point b to point c, and so on. The point is to eliminate double counting and arrive at specific metrics for the purpose of defining a market or an industry. For the purpose of this practice, the raw material is counted until it becomes a wafer/ingot, then to the cell, then to the module, then to the first point of sale in the market (first buyer), then to the installation (end user). Thin film shipments are assessed using the same methodology.
In the case of SPV Market Research the data go back >35 years, allowing for the identification of trends over time.
A classic market research focus should be on quantifiable metrics (data), announcements are not data. Announcements are made for a variety of reasons including: calling attention to something upcoming or new, re-calling attention to something previously announced, to call attention to an achievement (such as champion cell efficiency or commercial efficiency records), announce a product release, or take attention away from something negative, among other purposes. The purpose of market research is to provide an objective analysis that managers and executives can use for business planning purposes. 27
