In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of clinical development, heads of regulatory affairs, portfolio directors for infectious diseases, and commercial strategy leads from pharmaceutical corporations, biotechnology firms, and generic drug manufacturers that specialize in anti-infective treatments were examples of supply-side sources. Infectious disease specialists, urologists, gynecologists, public health doctors, clinical pharmacists, and procurement leads from hospitals, sexual health clinics, community health centers, and specialty infectious disease treatment facilities were among the demand-side sources. Primary study obtained information on clinical adoption patterns, antimicrobial stewardship methods, pricing strategies, and reimbursement dynamics across oral, intravenous, and intramuscular administration routes. It also validated therapeutic class segmentation and drug pipeline timescales.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and treatment volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
Product mapping across antibiotics (ceftriaxone, azithromycin, cefixime), combination therapies, and monotherapy treatment categories
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to gonorrhea therapeutic portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 68-73% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (treatment volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations across hospitals, clinics, and home care end-user segments for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patient populations
