Disposable Medical Device Market Size, Growth, Share & Trends Analysis

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the disposable medical device market. Exhaustive secondary research collected information on the market and its peer and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

The secondary research process involved the widespread use of secondary sources, directories, databases (Bloomberg Businessweek, Factiva, and D&B Hoovers), white papers, annual reports, company house documents, investor presentations, and SEC filings of companies. Secondary research was used to identify and collect information useful for the extensive, technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the disposable medical device market. It was also used to obtain important information about the key players, market classification, segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and key market and technology perspectives developments. A database of the key industry leaders was also prepared using secondary research.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various sources from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for this report. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts, such as CEOs, vice presidents, marketing and sales directors, technology & innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations operating in the disposable medical device market. The primary sources from the demand side included industry experts, purchase & sales managers, doctors, and personnel from research organizations. Primary research was conducted to validate the market segmentation, identify key players, and gather insights on key industry trends and key market dynamics.

A breakdown of the primary respondents is provided below:

Note 1: C-level Executives include CEOs, COOs, CTOs, and VPs.

Note 2: Others include Sales, Marketing, and Product Managers.

Note 3: Companies are classified into tiers based on their total revenue. The classification is as follows:

Tier 1 => USD 1 billion; tier 2 = USD 500 million to USD 1 billion; tier 3 =< USD 500 million

Market Size Estimation

The research methodology used to estimate the size of the disposable medical device market includes the following details.

Country-level Analysis: The size of the disposable medical device market was obtained from the annual presentations of leading players and secondary data available in the public domain. The share of products and services in the overall disposable medical device market was obtained from secondary data and validated by primary participants to arrive at the total disposable medical device market. Primary participants further validated the numbers.

Geographic Market Assessment (By Region & Country): The geographic assessment was done using the following approaches:

Approach 1: Ascertaining the geographic revenue contributions/splits of leading players in the market (wherever available) and respective growth trends

Approach 2: Studying the geographic adoption trends for individual product segments by end users and growth prospects for each of the segments (assumptions and indicative estimates validated from primary interviews)

At each point, industry experts contacted during primary research validated the assumptions and approaches. Considering the limitations of data available from secondary research, revenue estimates for individual companies (for the overall disposable medical device market and geographic market assessment) were ascertained based on a detailed analysis of their respective product offerings, geographic reach/strength (direct or through distributors or suppliers), and the share of the leading players in a particular region or country.

Data Triangulation

The market was split into several segments and sub-segments after arriving at the overall market size, using the market size estimation processes explained above. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
