The document discusses various methods for estimating market size, including defining key terms, frameworks for market sizing, and top-down versus bottom-up approaches. It provides examples of estimating total addressable markets, sales addressable markets, and target markets using different inputs and assumptions. Segmenting markets and developing estimation models using multiple data sources and steps are also covered.

10. Estimation Modeling in 5 Steps
1. Brainstorm and map out possible inputs,
outputs & calculations
2. Fill in data you currently have
3. Identify data gaps
4. Plan how to source and fill in data gaps
5. Compare estimates as result of different
models

12. Two Approaches
Top-down
Top-down estimates approach the true value from
above, by starting with broad indicators which are
narrowed down using assumptions.
Pro Often a quicker and easier way to size a market
Con Tends to give too high estimates
Bottom-up
Bottom-up estimates approach the true value from
below, by summing up known supply data from
market participants.
Pro Often considered more conservative (accounts
for capacity limitations of the industry).
Con Usually requires primary research, therefore
often expensive to do.

(e.g., primary research)
Estimate B
(e.g., product complements where
market sizes are known)
Estimate C
(e.g., based on
macroeconomic indicators)
Ideally, all estimates are
independent of each other
