Research Methodology - Consolidated Research Approach
Hypothesis Creation: The research team has first framed a hypothesis about the market through analysis of existing industry factors obtained from magazines, journals, broker reports, investor presentations and annual reports of major companies and several articles. The team has used both public and proprietary databases to define and collect each market data point such as overall market size, segmentations and estimated future growth.
Hypothesis Testing: The research team conducted computer assisted telephonic interview (CATI) with several industry professionals including decision makers in all segments of healthcare market which included medical devices, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, and clinical laboratories. The industry professionals included several retailers, wholesalers, importers and distributors of medical devices and pharmaceutical products and doctors, management executives, financial analysts and other higher level authorities. The analyst at Ken Research collated their insights on the market onboard and to seek justification to the hypothesis framed by the team. Additionally several B2B clients from different sectors including government offices, clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals in the ecosystem have been interviewed to understand their perspectives, needs, requirements and the prices they are willing to pay for procuring medical devices and pharmaceutical drugs.
Sanity Checking @ Decision Tree Analysis: General consensus on data collected from primary research and public and proprietary databases has been reached by conducting in-house decision tree analysis of the data points available and by comparing it with macro-economic factors. Data has been collected and verified through cross-sanity checking between primary and secondary sources. Secondary data sources include the analysis of existing industry factors, obtained from company reports and from magazines, journals and online articles. The secondary data sources are used to form the initial perception and contention on several forces playing their role in determining the future growth in the industry.
Future Forecasting via Poll Opinions and Statistical Tools: Multi-Factor regression and scenario analysis was conducted on the lag variables i.e. on the historical market size of the industry by identifying the independent and quantifiable variables directly affecting the market. The forecasting was done by using SPSS statistical tools. The variables were checked for multi-co-linearity and other bias that could be present in the model. The conclusion from the regression was then double-checked by conducting poll opinions. Structured interviews were conducted through telecom with several industry veterans including major decision makers from Guardian Pharmacy, Unity Pharmacy, Novena Medical Center, Acumed Clinic, Clinical and Path Lab, Reste Lab, Sam Clinical Laboratory and others. These interviews helped the research team to authenticate the data collected from secondary data sources and to reject or accept the hypothesis regarding the future projections.
Interpretation and Proofreading: The final analysis will then be interpreted in the research report by our expert team well versed with the Healthcare Market.
