SDi market reports are based on a thorough analysis of primary and secondary sources of market information. Secondary research typically involves examining company financial statements and reports, publications by industry observers and market participants, economic or industry-specific publications, industry newsletters, and website information. Primary research involves substantial interactions with knowledgeable sources, including end-users (through surveys), individuals within regulatory agencies, marketing and technical personnel of participating vendors, and other informed observers.
Through these research methods, we have been tracking the market size of numerous types of laboratory instruments for decades, as well as their typical prices. Installed base estimates are therefore derived from the SDi market models and average price estimates.
This data is based on market data and technology category definitions from the 2024 Global Assessment Report for Life Science and Analytical Instrumentation, produced by Strategic Directions International (SDi) and published by Science and Medicine Group on April 29 2024. This data is not to be reproduced or used by third parties outside of the purchasing organization.
Installed base estimates are derived from the SDi market models and average price estimates for the 275 instrument types covered in this deliverable. All estimates are rounded and applicable to the year 2023 only.
