This market research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources, directories, and databases to identify and collect information useful for this technical, market-oriented, and financial study of the preclinical imaging market. In-depth interviews were conducted with various primary respondents, including key industry participants, subject-matter experts (SMEs), C-level executives of key market players, and industry consultants, among other experts, to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information and to assess market prospects. The size of the preclinical imaging market was estimated through various secondary research approaches and triangulated with inputs from primary research to arrive at the final market size.
Secondary Research
The secondary research process involved 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 study of the preclinical imaging market. It was also used to obtain important information about the key players and market classification and 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
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring basic knowledge about the global preclinical imaging market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand side (Hospital personnel, department heads, hospital directors, corporate personnel) and supply side (such as C-level and D-level executives, technology experts, software developers, marketing and sales managers, among others) across five major regions—North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. This primary data was collected through questionnaires, e-mails, online surveys, personal interviews, and telephonic interviews.
