What is the New Technology Service research methodology?

The capacity database provides comprehensive coverage of new technology market participants from early-stage developers with large-scale R&D facilities, to established market leaders operating pilot, demonstration, or commercial production sites. Where capacity expansion plans are available, these are included in the database; where visibility is limited, confirmed current capabilities are detailed. Data is first gathered through primary research and then validated via direct communication with market participants and industry experts. Technology briefing topics are selected at the start of each quarter, with content reviewed by active market participants to ensure accuracy and impartiality before publication. Raw material pricing inputs, active material performance characteristics, and inactive material specifications are updated bi-annually to maintain the reliability of model outputs.
