  3. In the third stage, the data collected through desk and field survey is analyzed and a report is prepared incorporating findings, recommendations etc.
• Coverage:
  1. In desk and field survey, different possible uses of the products are covered. For all the products, propose is to cover certain geographical areas and to contact major consumers in that area.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION M/s. (company name) P. Ltd., at (location) is diversifying into the manufacture of (product). The capacity of manufacturing plant is envisaged at (number) pieces.
The present Market Survey is carried out by Mr. (name) of (location), who has done similar surveys for a number of companies.

1. Purpose of this report is to provide the following data:
2. i) The present and future demand for the product proposed.
3. ii) General Description of the proposed products.
4. iii) To estimate the status of use of similar items.
5. iv) Likely Demand and Supply gap in future.
6. v) Export Potential.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION/APPLICATIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS : The proposed products are basically used in the following industries. Different end user industries is as follows:

The detailed survey of each sector is given in the next chapter.

CHAPTER III
END USER INDUSTRIES

The requirement of THE PRODUCT for different sectors for today and in (future year) is given below:

Sector	Requirement
	Today	2005-2006
Total Possible Requirement

This is the total likely requirements of most of the important sectors. However, it is estimated that only 30 % of this will replace the product when these new type of efficient product is available. Hence the demand for these product will be around (number) per today and (number) in (future year)

In this case the likely demand from Private sector is only considered. Selling it to Public Sector like, Railways, Defense, P & T will taken up later, where large potential exists, which is estimated to be around (number)

The same equipment is sold abroad many times costlier. Hence, since the quality will be international standard, it can be exported and it is estimated that NUMBER of pieces can be sold abroad.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION

No other company has given any indication about setting up a new unit for similar type. Looking at the fast growth of our country, and with the easy and local availability of the products, more and more industries are likely to use these and hence the demand can be higher. Hence demand exists for setting up a unit for (number) per year.
