Market estimation methodology A worldwide study % HNWI share, 2012 (Source: CapGemini / Merril Lynch) Data needed to estimate market size and the drivers of demand were collected in two stages: . E.U: A qualitative stage, including in-depth one hour interviews, N.A: 12% Japan were conducted among High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) 29% 28% that had expressed interest in participating in a suborbital trip M.E: 4% . A quantitative stage where around 2000 people representative 21% Asia-Pacific of HNWI population were interviewed on line though a AFR: 1% (ex. Japan) questionnaire L.A: 5%
To give reality to suborbital trips, a special marketing brochure was designed and used during qualitative and quantitative stages. Fastest HNWI growth A first round of interviews was conducted in 2007. 1250 people were interviewed with the following split across countries:
A second round of 600 interviews was conducted in 2010 (after financial crisis) in the following countries:
(Nota: In order to estimate the rest of the global market, particularly Latin Amerca and Middle East, a conservative extrapolation from European Model was performed by Ipsos)

. The distribution of the potential market over the time is represented by a Fisher-Pry curve with the following equation: 0.5 x ((1+hyperbolic tangent (a x (t-t0)) . The market was estimated with the parameters a=0.12 and t0=21 with corresponds to a 30-year maturity (conservative). . The S form of the Fisher-Pry curve best describes this type of market with a technological connotation . We assume in our market study that suborbital flights are well marketed and that promotional campaigns are successful. . Out of a sense of prudence, the study considers that this experience will be done only once per household. . No growth of the HNWI population is considered (conservative) Between 40 000 to 100 000 passengers at year 20 (in between 0.3-0.6% of 2015 HNWI1 households) 1 High Net Worth Individual THIS DOCUMENT AND ITS CONTENTS ARE PROPERTY OF ARIANEGROUP.
