The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the medical device testing market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, 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 complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process for identifying and collecting information important for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, websites, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the market’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottom-most level), regional markets, and key developments from market- and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary data has been collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.

Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after gaining knowledge about the current scenario of the medical device testing market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with experts from both the demand and supply sides across four major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. This primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Size Estimation
In the complete market engineering process, both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used, along with several data triangulation methods, to perform market estimation and forecasting for the overall market segments and subsegments listed in this report. Key players in the market have been identified through secondary research, and their market shares in the respective regions have been determined through primary and secondary research. This entire procedure includes the study of annual and financial reports of the top market players and extensive interviews for key insights (quantitative and qualitative) with industry experts (CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives).
All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources. All the parameters affecting the markets covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data. This data has been consolidated and supplemented with detailed inputs and analysis from MarketsandMarkets and presented in this report. The following figure represents this study’s overall market size estimation process.
Bottom-Up Approach
The bottom-up approach was used to arrive at the overall size of the medical device testing market from the revenues of the key players and their shares in the market. The overall market size was calculated based on the revenues of the key players identified in the market.

Identifying the entities in the medical device testing market influencing the entire market, along with the related component players
-
Analyzing major providers of medical device testing services, studying their portfolios, and understanding different types of products based on features and functions
-
Analyzing trends pertaining to the usage of medical device testing offerings, such as hardware, software, and services
-
Tracking the ongoing and upcoming developments in the market, such as investments made, R&D activities, product launches, collaborations, and partnerships, and forecasting the market size based on these developments and other critical parameters
-
Carrying out multiple discussions with key opinion leaders to understand the different types of medical device testing; and offerings, vertical, and recent trends in the market, analyzing the breakup of the scope of work carried out by major manufacturing companies
-
Arriving at the market estimates by analyzing segment revenues of these companies generated by medical device testing offerings and then combining the same to get the market estimate by different segments
-
Verifying and cross-checking the estimate at every level by discussing with key opinion leaders, such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), directors, and operations managers, and finally with the domain experts at MarketsandMarkets
-

Top-Down Approach
In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of individual markets (mentioned in the market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary and primary research.
The most appropriate immediate parent market size has been used to implement the top-down approach to calculate the market size of specific segments. The top-down approach has been implemented for the data extracted from the secondary research to validate the market size obtained.
Each company’s market share has been estimated to verify the revenue shares used earlier in the top-down approach. This study has determined and confirmed the overall parent market and individual market sizes by the data triangulation method and data validation through primaries. The data triangulation method in this study is explained in the next section.
-
Focusing on top-line investments and expenditures being made in the ecosystems of various verticals, listing key developments, analyzing updated technology in the marketplace, and evaluating the market by further splitting it into different technology
-
