Overview
Frost & Sullivan has sold market research and growth advisory since 1961, with unusual depth in healthcare, mobility, energy, industrials and chemicals — sectors where generalist tech research goes quiet. Its syndicated reports, growth-opportunity analyses and custom consulting map market sizes, competitive fields and technology roadmaps. For funds underwriting climate, hardware, med-device or industrial-tech deals, it fills the vertical gap left by Gartner-style IT coverage.
