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, and commercial directors from pharmaceutical firms, respiratory device manufacturers, and healthcare service providers were examples of supply-side sources. Pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, occupational medicine experts, respiratory therapists, and procurement leads from hospitals, specialty pulmonary clinics, rehabilitation facilities, and academic medical centers were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on therapy acceptance trends, reimbursement dynamics, and patient management procedures, primary research verified clinical trial timeframes and validated market segmentation.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and patient volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key manufacturers and service providers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product and service mapping across pharmacological treatments (corticosteroids, bronchodilators, immunosuppressants), surgical interventions (lung volume reduction, transplantation), rehabilitation services, and palliative care programs
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to asbestosis and interstitial lung disease portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers and providers representing 65-70% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (patient volume × treatment cost by country) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
