Our Approach
We began the research process by conducting in-depth market research backed with semi-structured interviews and detailed segment-wise studies to help the client. Initially, 35 stakeholders within the medical devices industry were interviewed to understand the market. However, the focus was on the six core competitors with similar product offerings.
Our three-phased product market research study provided critical insights regarding the development of the product. The research was designed to examine the circumstances in which physicians would opt to use the client’s product over a similar product and uncover additional market data needed to increase acceptance of a new device. The product market research solution enabled the client to gain an overview of the medical product development market in the UK, including competitors’ strategies, product offerings, M&As, and more.
