What each report contains

Every report follows the same structure, so you can find the section you need without reading the whole thing.

Standard sections of a LA NPDT market report
SectionWhat it answersTypical use
Market sizingHow large the category is today and the growth rate behind itThe opening slide of a deck; grant significance sections
Demand driversWhy buyers are entering the category nowPositioning and messaging
Adoption barriersWhat is stopping the category from growing fasterRisk sections; deciding what your product must solve
Pricing landscapeWhat comparable products sell for and at what marginTarget cost and business-model work
White spaceWhere the unserved needs sitProduct definition and feature prioritisation
Design implicationsWhat the findings mean for the physical productEngineering requirements and design criteria

How we research a market

We publish research in the categories our clients build in, which sets the bias of this library toward physical products: hardware, devices, equipment and the services around them. Each report starts from a question a founder actually asked us, not from a keyword.

The work combines public data — filings, government and trade statistics, published studies — with supplier and component pricing we can verify, and with what we have seen delivering products in the category. Where we estimate, we label it as an estimate and show the assumption behind it.

Reports are published in full because a locked PDF helps nobody make a decision. If a market you need is missing, request it: published research is chosen partly from what people ask for.

Using these reports

Are these market reports really free?+

Yes. Every report is published in full on this site — no paywall, no licence fee and no email gate. We ask only that you cite the report if you use its figures in a deck, plan, grant application or paper.

How should I cite a LA NPDT market report?+

Cite the report title, LA NPDT as the publisher, the publication month shown on the report, and the report URL. For academic use, treat it as a corporate or grey-literature report rather than a peer-reviewed source.

Where do the numbers come from?+

Each report states its sources inline — public filings, government and trade statistics, published industry studies, supplier pricing and our own project experience in that category. Where an estimate is ours rather than a cited figure, the report says so.

How current are the reports?+

Each carries its publication month. Markets move, so treat sizing and pricing figures as accurate as of that date and check any fast-moving numbers — component costs, regulation, adoption rates — against a current source before you rely on them.

Can you research a market that is not published here?+

Yes. Custom research is a paid engagement: we scope the questions with you, run the research and deliver a report written for your decision rather than for a general audience. Use the request link on this page to start.

Can I quote a report in a pitch deck or grant application?+

Yes, with a citation. Investors and grant reviewers generally accept cited third-party research; naming the source and its date also saves you the follow-up question about where the number came from.

Insights / Market Reports

How we research

Built the way we scope a real product program

Primary and secondary sources

Sizing you can defend

TAM, SAM and realistic near-term demand, with the assumptions written out so a reviewer can check the math instead of trusting a black box.

Opportunity, not just numbers

Where demand is accelerating, where it is flattening, which adoption barriers still block scale, and what that means for a product entering the market now.
