7.3 Methodology
GlobalData‘s dedicated research and analysis teams consist of experienced professionals with advanced
statistical expertise and marketing, market research and consulting backgrounds in the pharmaceutical
industry.
GlobalData adheres to the codes of practice of the Market Research Society (www.mrs.org.uk) and the
Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals (www.scip.org).
All GlobalData databases are continuously updated and revised. The following research methodology is
followed for all databases and reports.
7.3.1 Coverage
The objective of updating GlobalData‘s coverage is to ensure that it represents the most up to date vision
of the industry possible.
Changes to the industry taxonomy are built on the basis of extensive research of company, association
and competitor sources.
Company coverage is based on three key factors: revenues, products and media
attention/innovation/market potential.
The estimated revenues of all major companies, including private and governmental, are gathered
and used to prioritize coverage.
Companies which are making the news or which are of particular interest due to their innovative
approach are prioritized.
GlobalData aims to cover all major news events and deals in the pharmaceutical industry, updated on a
daily basis.
The coverage is further streamlined and strengthened with additional inputs from GlobalData‘s expert
panel (see below).
7.3.2 Secondary Research
The research process begins with exhaustive secondary research on internal and external sources being
carried out to source qualitative and quantitative information relating to each market.
The secondary research sources that are typically referred to include, but are not limited to:
Company websites, annual reports, financial reports, broker reports, investor presentations and US
Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) filings
Industry trade journals, scientific journals and other technical literature
Internal and external proprietary databases
Relevant patent and regulatory databases
National government documents, statistical databases and market reports
Procedure registries
News articles, press releases and web-casts specific to the companies operating in the market.
The country reports are largely based on secondary research and make use of reliable and authoritative
sources such as the IMF, The World Bank, OECD, WHO, UNICEF, UNStats, MHLW, NHS, and BEA,
among others.
7.3.3 Forecasting
For the country reports, GlobalData uses the data available from reliable and authoritative secondary
sources to forecast the future trends for the healthcare market for the country, as well as the parameters
related to the economy and healthcare infrastructure and expenditure of the country. The trends are
further validated through the secondary sources.

7.3.4 Primary Research
GlobalData conducts hundreds of primary interviews a year with industry participants and commentators
in order to validate its data and analysis. A typical research interview fulfills the following functions:
It provides first-hand information on the market size, market trends, growth trends, competitive
landscape and future outlook of a market.
It helps in validating and strengthening secondary research findings.
It develops the analysis team‘s expertise and market understanding.
Primary research involves email correspondence and telephone interviews as well as face-to-face
interviews for each market, category, segment and sub-segment across the geographies covered.
The participants who typically take part in such a process include, but are not limited to:
Industry participants: Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), marketing/product
managers, market intelligence managers and national sales managers.
Hospital stores, pharmacies, distributors and paramedics.
Outside experts: investment bankers, valuation experts, research analysts specializing in specific
pharmaceutical markets.
Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs): Physicians and surgeons specializing in different therapeutic areas
corresponding to different kinds of pharmaceuticals.
7.3.5 Expert Panel Validation
GlobalData uses a panel of experts to cross verify its databases and forecasts.
GlobalData‘s expert panel comprises marketing managers, product specialists, international sales
managers from pharmaceutical companies; academics from research universities, KOLs from hospitals,
consultants from venture capital funds, and distributors/suppliers of pharmaceuticals and supplies.
Historic data and forecasts are relayed to GlobalData‘s expert panel for feedback and adjusted in
accordance with their feedback.
