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 is built upward from acute myocardial infarction incidence and thrombolysis-eligible patient volumes across major markets, multiplied by average per-treatment reteplase pricing for the double-bolus kit net of institutional discounts and channel margins, to arrive at procurement value. This bottom-up build was checked against disclosed and estimated revenue from Chiesi's and Cumberland Pharmaceuticals' Retavase-line sales and against national health-system tender pricing where such awards are published. Where the two views diverged, for example where hospital-tender pricing implied a lower average selling price than the volume-times-list-price build suggested, the volume-based bottom-up estimate was corrected downward instead of averaging the two figures, since institutional discounting off list price is systematic in a hospital-procured emergency drug and not an anomaly to smooth over.

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 hospital pharmacy directors, interventional cardiologists and cath-lab procurement leads who select and stock thrombolytic agents, alongside regional distributor and channel managers who handle emergency drug replenishment, and regulatory affairs contacts tracking approval and formulary-listing status market by market. Sampling weights toward North America and Europe, where cath-lab protocols and thrombolytic purchasing are most standardized and disclosed, with supplementary outreach into Asia Pacific markets where domestic manufacturers and public-hospital tenders increasingly set price and volume. Emphasis sits on procurement and clinical-protocol roles, since institutional buying decisions determine which thrombolytic a hospital stocks.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national drug regulatory registers, including FDA Orange Book listings and EMA public assessment reports for reteplase approvals and label variations, hospital and public-tender procurement disclosures where governments publish awarded thrombolytic pricing, national reimbursement fee schedules that price the double-bolus kit for hospital billing, and customs and trade classification data under the relevant biologics HS code for cross-border shipment volumes. Company-level context comes from Chiesi's and Cumberland Pharmaceuticals' public disclosures on their cardiovascular product lines, supplemented by national cardiology society treatment guidelines that define which patients are eligible for thrombolysis.

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 acute myocardial infarction incidence trends by region, the pace at which emerging markets expand door-to-needle thrombolysis protocols and cath-lab access, and the rate at which single-bolus competitor agents displace reteplase's double-bolus regimen where ease of administration drives formulary choice. Pricing is held broadly flat in real terms in established markets and assumed to decline gradually where generic and regional manufacturers enter, normalizing for one-off tender-driven price swings seen historically in some public-procurement markets. For the forecast to hold, thrombolytic-eligible patient volumes must keep growing with rising cardiovascular disease burden, and neither a safety signal nor an accelerated shift to primary percutaneous coronary intervention over thrombolysis should materially outpace current adoption trends.

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

Historical 2020-2024 growth was back-tested against recorded acute myocardial infarction hospitalization trends and known thrombolytic procurement patterns in markets where tender data is public, confirming the build's implied volume growth stayed within clinically plausible patient-volume increases. Segment-level shifts, including the gradual move toward solution-based formulations and off-label catheter-occlusion use, were reviewed against clinical and procurement commentary before being carried into the forecast. Sensitivities were tested around the pace of single-bolus competitor substitution and around generic price erosion in price-sensitive markets, since these two assumptions move the forecast total more than any other single input.

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 North America and Europe hospital-procurement volumes, where tender pricing and formulary data are most consistently disclosed, and for the acute myocardial infarction indication, which is the approved, guideline-anchored use. It is weaker for catheter-occlusion and other off-label use, where reporting is inconsistent and adoption varies by institution, and for Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa volumes, which rely more heavily on adjacent-market analogues than on direct disclosure. A materially faster shift to single-bolus competitor agents, or a change in guideline-directed thrombolysis eligibility, would be the most likely trigger for revising this estimate.
