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, the following.

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.

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 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.

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, the following.

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.
