In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, vice presidents of clinical development, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and generic drug manufacturers with an emphasis on anti-infectives were examples of supply-side sources. Infectious disease specialists, clinical microbiologists, hospital pharmacy directors, procurement leaders from hospital systems, and public health program managers from STI prevention initiatives were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on antimicrobial stewardship patterns, pricing tactics, reimbursement dynamics, and resistance surveillance methods, primary research verified clinical pipeline timings and validated market segmentation.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and prescription volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, aminocyclitols, and novel antibiotic categories
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to gonorrhea therapeutics portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 70-75% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (prescription volume × ASP by country) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
