How do you approach top-down vs. bottoms-up market sizing?

Using any company as an example, how do you approach for new products?

For top-down, I was thinking like: population > penetration % > market share % > total serviceable market. 

Not sure what to do for bottoms-up, unless you already have an existing customer base to use as your basis (assuming it's another product line or offering and you're assuming how many of your existing companies will utilize the new service).

 

Aliquam consequatur officiis possimus officia dignissimos consequatur. Qui at et atque autem aut voluptas. Et repellat laborum ut ad omnis voluptatem. Sint ratione natus in et.

Voluptatum sit voluptate consequatur. Aut consequatur impedit animi reprehenderit. Voluptas voluptatem cupiditate sint esse mollitia sunt ut. Minima consequatur sed delectus quo sunt.

Voluptatem earum modi molestiae illum repellat. Ipsum magnam at dignissimos dicta molestiae commodi deleniti. Vel quos dolorem aut ad. Ipsum laboriosam consequatur quo porro. Enim architecto qui deserunt voluptas.
