• Company sources include annual reports, SEC filings, regulatory filings, investor presentations, press releases, and financial statements.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring knowledge about the micro-computed tomography market scenario through secondary research. A significant number of primary interviews were conducted from both the demand (healthcare providers, research and academic institutes, dental laboratories, and industries) and supply sides (manufacturers and distributors of micro-computed tomography products). The primaries interviewed for this study include experts from the imaging industry (such as CEOs, V.P.s, directors, sales heads, and marketing managers of tier 1, 2, and 3 companies engaged in offering micro-CT scanners across the globe) and administrators & purchase managers of research centers, medical and laboratories.

Around 65% and 35% of primary interviews were conducted from the supply and demand sides. A robust primary research methodology has been adopted to validate the report's contents and fill gaps. Telephonic and e-mail communications were adopted to conduct interviews (questionnaires were designed and sent to primary participants at their convenience).

The micro-computed tomography market comprises stakeholders such as medical laboratories, research centers and institutions, and material science industries. The demand side of this market is characterized by increasing applications of micro-CT in research and development activities, increasing use of these devices in preclinical testing to explore the effectiveness of drugs and vaccines, and growing to fund for research and development. Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the micro-computed tomography market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:

• The key players in the industry and markets have been identified through extensive secondary research
• The industry’s supply chain and market size, in terms of value, have been determined through primary and secondary research
• All percentage shares split, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation processes as explained above—the micro-computed tomography market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the micro-computed tomography industry's demand and supply sides.
