How We Define Our Markets

Markets are divided into four types: Core, Blended, Feeder, and Derivative Markets.

Markets Forecast has a compilation of 19 markets that provide a broad and deep coverage of the following areas. These markets are divided into four types: Core, Blended, Feeder, and Derivative Markets.

Core Markets

Core Markets are a collection of unique records relating to a specific technology, function, or platform type. They have global/worldwide coverage. The Core Markets are published individually and contribute records to applicable Blended markets.

  • Command and Control (C2)
  • Electro-Optical Infrared (EOIR)
  • Military Aircraft
  • Military Communications
  • Military Ground Vehicle
  • Military Ship

Feeder Markets

A Feeder Market is a collection of unique records relating to a specific technology or function not covered by our existing Core Markets. Feeder Markets are not published individually and have been developed for the sole purpose of rounding out the Blended Markets. Each record contained in a Core or Feeder market is unique and mutually exclusive. That means that it is not replicated in any other Core or Feeder database.

Blended Markets

  • Air & Missile Defense
  • Anti-Submarine Warfare
  • Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)

Derivative Markets

A Derivative Market is a specialized market. It is derived by extracting specific information from core databases. Green platform markets are derived by removing mission systems from the price of the platform.
