Sanity Checking @ Decision Tree Analysis: Data has been collected and verified through cross-sanity checking the opinion and facts received from interview with the hypotheses framed from public databases. The team has verified the data by conduction both bottom-to-top and top-to-bottom analysis.
Future Forecasting via Poll Opinions and Statistical Tools: Multi-Factor regression was conducted on the lag variables 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.
Interpretation and Proofreading: The final analysis will then be interpreted in the research report by our expert team well versed with the Healthcare Market.
Research Methodology – Market Sizing and Limitation – Medical Devices Market:-
Market Sizing:
We have collated data on imports for medical devices market in the country. After conducting CATIs with industry experts and management of the leading medical device manufacturers and traders in Vietnam, we were able to get import share of the total customer expenditure on medical devices in the country. We have also applied gross margin which is charged by the traders/importers on the imported medical devices to estimate the sales value of imported medical devices at retail value. Additionally, our team has also reviewed several industry publications and proprietary databases to validate the data. We have also interviewed management of multiple companies to understand the revenues of certain leading medical devices companies in the country to sanity check the market.
Limitation:
The companies which provide medical devices also do offer AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) service to the end users and also generate revenues from repair and maintenance. However, we have not considered this revenue stream into our model. We have also not considered the sale of refurbished or second hand medical devices.
