Market & Demand Assessment

A textured surface with undulating waves and small, repeating geometric patterns in warm brown.

In a nutshell

Before developing a new irradiation service, beam line or research infrastructure, decision-makers need reliable evidence that a relevant market exists and that the planned offer responds to genuine customer needs. DINI conducts in-depth market and demand studies in the field of radiation hardness testing of electronics based on structured interviews, user surveys, facility research and competitive analysis. We examine current and future demand, technical requirements, service expectations, alternative solutions and developments within the relevant market. Where required, we also investigate how cooperation between science and industry works in practice: how collaborations are initiated, which barriers limit their effectiveness, which factors contribute to success and how scientific capabilities can be better aligned with industrial demand.

Main Target Group

Irradiation facilities, research infrastructures, new facility projects in the proposal or funding phase, technology transfer organisations, research consortia, funding bodies and strategic decision-makers.

Benefits for Clients

A professional market and demand assessment reduces uncertainty before significant resources are committed to a new facility, beam line or commercial service. It provides an independent basis for investment decisions, business plans and funding proposals and helps clients understand not only whether demand exists, but also what potential customers require in technical, operational and commercial terms.

By involving relevant stakeholders directly, the assessment reveals practical expectations and potential barriers that may not be visible from internal analysis alone. Clients can use the findings to prioritise investments, define a realistic value proposition and position their planned offer within the existing market.

Application Example

For a research centre planning a proton-beam service for electronic component and system testing, we contributed to the business-plan process through a targeted stakeholder survey, an analysis of the European proton irradiation landscape and an assessment of the specific market for beam time at proton therapy centres. The work also included a SWOT analysis and an investigation of how experienced stakeholders viewed the planned provision of a pulsed rather than continuous proton beam. The results were compiled in a dedicated market report.
