The estimate is built upward from administered and procured doses rather than from top-down analogy. The base includes commercial doses sold in the one market where a hepatitis E vaccine carries full licensure, doses purchased through outbreak-response stockpile mechanisms coordinated by international procurement bodies, and investigational doses supplied under clinical trial and named-patient agreements for candidates still in development. Each volume is priced at the channel it actually clears through: public-program tender pricing, multilateral stockpile pricing and private commercial pricing are kept separate rather than averaged. The resulting total is checked against the disclosed revenue of the vaccine's manufacturer; where the two diverge, the dose or price assumption feeding the bottom-up build is corrected, not the other way round.

The forecast is built from the pace at which additional endemic countries are expected to move from pilot introduction to routine program listing, the rate at which multilateral stockpile funding converts outbreak response into standing procurement, and the timing at which the pipeline candidates furthest along in development could reach licensure. Pricing is held broadly flat in real terms within each channel, since a materially lower price would need a second licensed entrant to force it. The forecast normalizes for the unevenness of outbreak-driven stockpile purchases in the historical years, smoothing single large campaign years rather than projecting them forward as a new baseline.

Outputs are back-tested against the recorded year-on-year growth in the licensed vaccine's own disclosed shipment volumes over the historical period, and the segment-level shifts implied by the forecast, such as the rising share of multilateral and program-channel doses, are reviewed against how comparable single-manufacturer vaccine categories transitioned once a second channel opened. Sensitivities were run on the timing of pipeline candidates reaching licensure and on the pace of new country program adoption, since those two assumptions move the outer forecast years the most. The historical series was checked for internal consistency across the dose, price and revenue figures before being carried into the forecast build.

Confidence is firmer for the licensed vaccine's program-channel and stockpile-channel revenue, where dose volumes and public procurement pricing are directly observable. It is weaker for the pipeline candidates split by platform, genotype coverage and dosing regimen, where reported figures are triangulated from trial-supply agreements and adjacent vaccine categories rather than from disclosed commercial sales. A structural risk to the entire estimate is the small number of manufacturers currently active in this category. The entry, delay or exit of a single developer would move the forecast meaningfully more than in a category served by many competing suppliers.
