The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the digital X-ray 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 digital X-ray 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 supply and demand sources 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 digital X-ray market. The primary sources from the demand side include hospitals, orthopedic clinics, diagnostic centers, dental clinics and other end users. Primary research was conducted to validate the market segmentation, identify key players, 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.
The tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenue. As of 2023: Tier 1 => USD 1 billion, Tier 2 = USD 500 million to USD 1 billion, and Tier 3 =< USD 500 million
