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

The market was built upward from estimated treated-patient volumes for each regimen category, somatostatin analogs, targeted therapies, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and chemotherapy, multiplied by average annual treatment cost per regimen in each region, drawing on published dosing schedules, vial and cycle pricing, and radiopharmaceutical unit costs. This bottom-up build was then checked against disclosed product revenue reported by the branded manufacturers named in this report, including somatostatin analog and radioligand therapy sales lines where companies break them out separately. Where the two did not align, the bottom-up patient-volume or price assumption was corrected, keeping the build itself as the primary basis for the final figure rather than averaging it with the comparison.

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 input came from structured conversations with medical oncologists and nuclear medicine specialists who prescribe and administer these regimens, hospital and oncology-center pharmacy directors responsible for procurement, payer and formulary managers who set coverage terms for somatostatin analogs and radioligand therapy, and specialty distributors who move depot injectables and radiopharmaceutical doses into treatment centers. Sampling weighted toward the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and France given the earliest approval and reimbursement history for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, with additional coverage in Japan given its distinct national reimbursement process for radiopharmaceuticals and in China given its expanding oncology treatment infrastructure.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research drew on FDA and EMA approval and product label databases for somatostatin analogs, targeted agents and radioligand therapies; national cancer registries including SEER for incidence and diagnosis trend data; peer-reviewed NETest and biomarker-validation literature for diagnosis-rate context; customs and trade classification data covering radiopharmaceutical and biologic shipments; company 10-K, 20-F and annual report filings for disclosed product revenue; and national health-technology-assessment and formulary listings that record reimbursement status and pricing for these regimens.

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 treated-patient volume by regimen, driven by rising diagnosed incidence, guideline updates favoring earlier use of targeted and radioligand therapy, and planned nuclear medicine capacity additions that determine how many patients can access peptide receptor radionuclide therapy each year. Pricing behavior assumes gradual price pressure as generic somatostatin analogs enter more markets, offset by premium pricing on newer targeted and radioligand products. The early post-approval ramp in radioligand therapy uptake is treated as a normalizing anomaly, not a permanent growth rate. For the forecast to hold, nuclear medicine capacity expansion and payer coverage decisions must continue at their currently announced pace.

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 2020-2024 growth by regimen and region to confirm the bottom-up build reproduces known historical trends before being extended forward. Segment share shifts, particularly the growing share of radioligand therapy and the declining share of chemotherapy, were reviewed against clinical-practice literature and prescriber interview feedback to confirm the direction and pace were plausible rather than an artifact of the model. Sensitivity tests varied nuclear medicine capacity growth, generic entry timing for older somatostatin analogs, and payer coverage assumptions to confirm the forecast range holds under slower-than-planned capacity expansion or delayed reimbursement decisions.

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 in the gastroenteropancreatic and somatostatin analog segments, where treatment patterns and disclosed product revenue have the longest track record. It is thinner in the pace of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy capacity buildout outside the United States and Western Europe, and in reimbursement timing across Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East and Africa, where formulary decisions are less predictable. A structural risk that would force a revision is a materially faster or slower rollout of nuclear medicine treatment capacity than currently announced, since it directly gates how many patients can receive radioligand therapy.
