France Optical Imaging Market (2022-2027)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This study involved four major approaches in estimating the current optical imaging market size. Extensive research was conducted to collect information on the market as well as 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. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the value market. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

The secondary research process involves the widespread use of secondary sources, directories, databases (such as Bloomberg Business, Factiva, and D&B Hoovers), white papers, annual reports, companies 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 optical imaging market. It was also used to obtain important information about the key players and market classification & segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and key developments related to market and technology perspectives. A database of the key industry leaders was also prepared using secondary research.

Some of the key secondary resources referred to in this study include:

• The United States Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)
• Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)
• Center for Disease Control and Prevention
• National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)
• Center for Devices & Radiological Health
• World Health Organisation
• American Hospital Association
• U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for this report. Primary sources from the supply side include CEOs, consultants, subject-matter experts, directors, general managers, developers, and other key opinion leaders of the various companies that offer optical imaging products. Primary sources from the demand side include industry experts such as hospital directors, research professionals, pharmaceutical company research and development head, and other medical professionals.

Primary research was conducted to identify segmentation types; industry trends; technology trends; key players; and key market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, and key player strategies.

Market Size Estimation

The total size of the optical imaging market was arrived at after data triangulation from four different approaches, as mentioned below.

Bottom-up Approach: Revenues of individual companies were gathered from public sources and databases. Shares of the medical device cleaning businesses of leading players were gathered from secondary sources to the extent available. In certain cases, the share of the business unit was ascertained after a detailed analysis of various parameters, including product portfolio, market positioning, selling price, and geographic reach and strength. Individual shares or revenue estimates were validated through expert interviews.

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

Primary Interviews: As a part of the primary research process, individual respondent insights on the market size and growth were taken during the interview (regional and global, as applicable). All the responses were collated, and a weighted average was taken to derive a probabilistic estimate of the market size and growth rate.

Geographic market assessment (by region & country): The geographic assessment was done using the following approaches:

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

Approach 2: 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, the assumptions and approaches were validated through industry experts contacted during primary research. Considering the limitations of data available from secondary research, revenue estimates for individual companies (for the overall optical imaging 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 shares of the leading players in a particular region or country.

After complete market engineering with calculations for market statistics, market size estimations, market forecasting, market breakdown, and data triangulation, extensive primary research was conducted to gather information and verify and validate the critical numbers arrived at. In the complete market engineering process, both top-down and bottom-up approaches were extensively used, along with several data triangulation methods to perform market estimation and market forecasting for the overall market segments and subsegments listed in this report. Extensive qualitative and further quantitative analysis was also done from all the numbers arrived at in the complete market engineering process to list key information throughout the report.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the market size, the total market was divided into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments, data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed wherever applicable.

Approach to derive the market size and estimate market growth

The market rankings for leading players were ascertained after a detailed assessment of their revenues from the optical imaging business using secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources. Owing to data limitations, in certain cases, the revenue share was arrived at after a detailed assessment of the product portfolios of major companies and their respective sales performance. At each point, this data was validated through primary interviews with industry experts.
