The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the photoacoustic imaging 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
The secondary research process involves the widespread use of secondary sources, directories, databases (such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Factiva, and D&B Hoovers), white papers, annual reports, company 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 photoacoustic imaging market study. 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.
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. The primary sources from the supply side include industry experts such as CEOs, vice presidents, marketing and sales directors, technology & innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations in the photoacoustic imaging market. The primary sources from the demand side include hospitals and imaging centers, research institutes and academia, among others. Primary research was conducted to validate the market segmentation, identify key players in the market, and gather insights on key industry trends & key market dynamics.
A breakdown of the primary respondents is provided below:
*Others include sales managers, marketing managers, business development managers, product managers, distributors, and suppliers.
Note: Companies are classified into tiers based on their total revenue. As of 2023, Tier 1 = >USD 1,000 million, Tier 2 = USD 500–1,000 million, and Tier 3 = <USD 500 million.
