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

Market size was built upward from installed analyzer and instrument placement volumes across laboratories, hospitals and point-of-care settings, combined with the average number of assays run per instrument annually and the realized price per test for immunoassay, clinical chemistry, molecular and hematology platforms. Reagent and consumable revenue was derived from this test-volume base, since pull-through varies by technique and setting and cannot be assumed as a fixed ratio to instrument sales. This bottom-up build was then checked against the disclosed diagnostics segment revenue reported by Roche, Abbott, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Siemens Healthineers and Sysmex. Where a unit-volume or pricing assumption produced a total that diverged from disclosed revenue, that assumption was corrected; the build was not averaged against a separate top-down estimate.

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

Primary interviews target commercial and marketing leaders at instrument and reagent manufacturers, procurement and laboratory directors at hospital networks and reference laboratories, regulatory affairs personnel tracking clearance and registration timelines, and distribution partners who place instruments and manage reagent supply in markets served through third-party channels. Laboratory directors and procurement managers are weighted most heavily, since their purchasing decisions determine both instrument placement and the reagent volume that follows. Sampling emphasizes North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, reflecting where testing volume and disclosed company revenue concentrate, with additional coverage of distribution partners in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa to capture channel-driven demand in markets with less direct laboratory access.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on the FDA's 510(k) and premarket approval clearance databases for diagnostic instruments and assays, CE marking registrations filed under the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation, and national medicines and healthcare products regulatory registers in Japan and other major markets. Trade flow for diagnostic reagents and instruments is tracked through Harmonized System code import and export data, and reimbursement context comes from CMS clinical laboratory fee schedules and equivalent national payer schedules in Europe and Asia Pacific. Company-level detail is drawn from annual reports and regulatory filings of the publicly listed manufacturers named in this report, and national health statistics agencies supply testing volume by disease category.

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 is built from projected growth in routine and chronic-disease test volume, continued adoption of molecular and point-of-care testing platforms, and expanding use of companion diagnostics tied to targeted oncology therapies. Pricing behavior assumes gradual reagent price compression as group purchasing and tender-based procurement spread into more markets, offset in part by higher-value test menus. The elevated infectious disease testing volume recorded in 2020 and 2021 is treated as a one-time pandemic-driven anomaly, normalized out of the underlying growth trend instead of carried forward. For the forecast to hold, testing volume growth must hold near its recent underlying trend once that anomaly is removed, and reimbursement policy must not tighten faster than assumed.

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 were back-tested against recorded 2020 through 2024 growth, including the sharp rise in infectious disease testing volume during 2020 and 2021 and its subsequent decline as pandemic-driven testing normalized. Segment share shifts, particularly the gain in molecular diagnostics and point-of-care testing, were checked against platform adoption patterns already visible in recent company disclosures, not projected on trend alone. Sensitivity testing varied reagent pricing assumptions, test volume growth rates, and the pace of point-of-care adoption to identify which inputs move the forecast most and where a single wrong assumption would have the largest effect on the total.

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 firmer for segments anchored to disclosed revenue at large, publicly listed manufacturers, including core immunoassay and clinical chemistry platforms sold through established laboratory channels. It is thinner for point-of-care adoption rates and for testing volume in emerging markets, where reporting is less consistent and regulatory clearance timelines are harder to observe directly. The by-application and by-end-user splits rest more on proxy indicators than on direct disclosure. A structural risk that would force a revision is a faster or slower shift in reimbursement policy than assumed, since pricing and test volume both move with it.
