Rest Of Europe Lab Automation Market (2026-2031)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Four primary studies have been undertaken to size the lab automation market. Secondary research has been used to obtain preliminary data for the lab automation market and peer and parent markets. Data were collected from 3–5 secondary sources and validated by primary sources for assumptions and market sizing. Through top-down and bottom-up approaches, the overall market size was informed and further broken down, and data was triangulated for segment and subsegment sizing.

Secondary Research

These included directories, Factiva, white papers, Bloomberg Businessweek, annual reports, SEC filings, business filings, and investor presentations, among others. Through these sources, one can gain critical data about market leaders, how the industry is divided into sectors, and how technology varies from one industry level to another within lab automation.

Primary Research

Primary research consisted of interviews with supply- and demand-side stakeholders to obtain quantitative and qualitative insights. On the demand side, primary sources involved in the study included physicians, researchers, department heads, staff from diagnostic centers, hospital staff, and those attached to the research institutes, while on the supply side, it involved CEOs, area sales managers, territory and regional sales managers, and various other top executives of relevant companies. These direct meetings with people in key leadership positions helped validate assumptions arising from secondary research and bring them face-to-face so that any assumptions could also be directly questioned.
