VNI Service Adoption Research Methodology

Cisco follows a rigorous methodology to forecast the global and regional adoption of 27 advanced services across three different categories: residential, consumer mobile, and business. The VNI Service Adoption Forecast makes use of several primary data sources: publicly available data from international and national institutions and government bodies and third-party research and survey data from independent research firms.

To analyze the available data, and forecast future adoption rates, Cisco researchers have applied extensive data modeling techniques.

Together, supply side data such as shipments of technology products and demand side data such as user adoption and preference are applied to provide meaningful insights into future adoption rates.

Each forecast is calculated based upon the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) or the year-over-year growth rate over a 5-year period. This calculation yields an estimate of how users/subscribers, devices/connections and specific service adoption rates will grow or decline over the forecast period.
