Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

Build from dispensed-unit volumes across the two dosage strengths and their realized specialty pharmacy and hospital procurement prices, combined into a bottom-up value figure per country, then checked against disclosed revenue from Otsuka and Lundbeck's public filings for the co-marketed brand and generic aripiprazole shipment data from national customs codes and IQVIA-style prescription volume trackers. Where a country's implied bottom-up figure diverges from reported revenue, the unit-volume or price assumption is revisited rather than the two figures being averaged. Key inputs include dispensed vial and prefilled-syringe counts by strength, net realized price after payer rebates, and channel mix between hospital and specialty pharmacy procurement.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target psychiatric hospital and clinic procurement leads, specialty pharmacy buyers, payer and formulary managers, and regulatory affairs contacts at branded and generic manufacturers, since these roles set the volume, pricing and reimbursement terms that determine realized revenue. Sampling weights the United States, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom, where Otsuka and Lundbeck's commercial presence and public disclosure are strongest, supplemented by generic-manufacturer contacts in India to capture the pace of aripiprazole formulation entry. Conversations focus on dosing-strength mix, channel shift toward specialty pharmacy dispensing, and the pricing response expected once further generic long-acting injectable competition reaches approval.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on Otsuka Holdings' and H. Lundbeck's public financial disclosures, FDA and EMA product approval and labeling databases for aripiprazole extended-release injectable suspension, national customs and trade codes covering injectable pharmaceutical shipments, and formulary and reimbursement schedules published by CMS and major European national health systems. Generic entry timing is cross-checked against FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity listings and equivalent EMA patent linkage registers. Hospital and specialty pharmacy procurement benchmarks come from published tender and group-purchasing-organization price schedules where available.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast carries forward the shift toward specialty pharmacy dispensing, the gradual entry of generic aripiprazole formulations following patent expiry in key markets, and the expanding use of long-acting injectables in bipolar I maintenance alongside their established schizophrenia base. Pricing is assumed to soften moderately as generic competition builds through the back half of the period, normalized against the one-time surge in initiation-kit volume every LAI launch produces before settling into steady maintenance dosing. For the forecast to hold, physician preference for adherence-focused injectable therapy must keep growing faster than oral alternatives regain share, and no additional branded LAI aripiprazole competitor secures approval earlier than expected.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against recorded historical growth in dispensed volume and realized price for the 2020-2024 period, checking that the implied bottom-up build does not overshoot or undershoot the disclosed revenue trend. Segment-share shifts, including the move toward the 400 mg strength and toward specialty pharmacy dispensing, are reviewed against procurement and channel-mix data instead of assumed to continue linearly. Sensitivities were tested on the pace of generic aripiprazole entry and on bipolar I indication uptake, the two assumptions most likely to move the forecast if they arrive earlier or later than modeled.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for the dosage-strength and distribution-channel splits, which follow directly from procurement and dispensing data, and weaker for the pace of generic erosion and bipolar I uptake, where reporting is thinner and adoption could move faster or slower than modeled. The geriatric and homecare lines carry the least certain data, since administration setting is not consistently reported across markets. A structural risk worth flagging is earlier-than-expected approval of a competing branded long-acting aripiprazole formulation, which would shift share faster than the base case assumes.
