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 size of this market was built upward from treated-patient volumes and the average annual cost of therapy for each indication, using the approved patient population and diagnosis rates in the geographies where a therapy is available, multiplied by realized net price after typical rebate and access-program adjustments. That volume-and-price build was then checked against the disclosed product revenue reported by the companies whose therapies define each pathway target, drawn from their own quarterly and annual filings. Where the two did not align, the treated-population or price assumption feeding the bottom-up build was corrected rather than moving the estimate toward the disclosed figure, since the underlying patient count and price are the more verifiable inputs for a rare-disease therapy class.

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 were directed at the commercial and market-access roles that set list price, negotiate payer contracts and manage patient-support programs for these therapies, along with the hematology, nephrology, neurology and ophthalmology specialists who prescribe them and the procurement staff at hospitals and specialty pharmacies that dispense them. Regulatory affairs contacts were included to confirm approval timing and label scope in each geography. Sampling weighted toward the United States and the larger European markets, where most approved indications and the deepest treated populations sit, with a smaller sample in Japan and China to capture the pace at which newer approvals are reaching those markets.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research drew on the FDA and EMA approval and label databases for each product and indication, national drug reimbursement registers in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan, and the rare-disease patient registries maintained for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome that publish treated-population estimates. Company 10-K and annual-report filings supplied disclosed product revenue by geography, and published clinical-trial results were used to confirm the patient population eligible for each newer indication such as geographic atrophy.

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 the pace at which each approved indication's eligible population is being diagnosed and started on therapy, the label expansions already filed or expected for products approved in a narrower indication, and the price behavior typical of specialty biologics as a class gains a second and third competing product. It normalizes for the unusually fast initial uptake a first-in-class approval sees in its first two years, which is not representative of the steadier pace once a mechanism is established. For the forecast to hold, reimbursement pathways in the larger markets need to keep pace with approvals, and no approved therapy in this class needs to face a material safety-driven label restriction.

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 the recorded revenue growth of the earliest-approved products in this class over their own first several years on the market, to confirm the assumed uptake curve is consistent with what has actually happened once a complement inhibitor reaches an established indication. Segment-level shifts, including the pace at which oral and subcutaneous formulations take share from infusion therapy, were reviewed against physician-interview feedback rather than accepted as a straight-line trend. Sensitivities were run on the treated-population assumption for the newer indications, since that is the input most likely to move as diagnosis rates change.

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 established indications, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, where treated populations and disclosed product revenue are both well documented. It is weaker for geographic atrophy and generalized myasthenia gravis, where the eligible population is still being characterized as diagnosis broadens and newer approvals are only starting to build a prescribing history. A structural risk to this estimate is a safety-driven label restriction on any single widely used product, which would shift volume across the pathway-target axis in a way current prescribing patterns do not yet show.
