The research study involved four major steps in estimating the size of the food lyophilization equipment market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect important information about the market and peer markets. The next step was to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with the help of primary research with industry experts across the value chain. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate the market size. After this, the market breakdown and data triangulation approaches were adopted to estimate the market sizes of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Various secondary sources were referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect the information required for this study. These sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, and articles from recognized authors. Secondary research was performed to obtain key information about the market’s value chain, the pool of key market players, market segmentation according to industry trends, regional outlook, and developments from market and technology perspectives.
The global market size was estimated using the top-down and bottom-up approaches, along with several other dependent submarkets. The major players in the market were identified using extensive secondary research, and their presence in the market was determined using secondary and primary research. All the percentage splits and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding the food lyophilization equipment market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders from demand- and supply-side vendors across four major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews were conducted with demand-side vendors, while 75% were with supply-side vendors. The primary data collection relied on telephone interviews, accounting for 80% of the total interviews. The remaining data was gathered through the use of questionnaires and emails.
After successful interaction with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce our primary research findings. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:
Note 1: Others include sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.
Note 2: Tier 1 companies’ revenues are more than USD 10 billion; tier 2 companies’ revenues range between USD 1 and 10 billion; and tier 3 companies’ revenues range between USD 500 million and USD 1 billion.
