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 Manufacturing, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from manufacturers of generic drugs, API suppliers, and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) were examples of supply-side sources. Pulmonologists, allergists, pediatricians, hospital pharmacy directors, procurement leaders from hospital systems, retail pharmacy chains, and specialty respiratory clinics were among the demand-side sources. In addition to gathering information on prescription patterns, generic substitution rates, pricing tactics, and reimbursement dynamics across asthma, allergic rhinitis, and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction indications, primary research validated market segmentation and corroborated product pipeline timelines.

Product mapping across tablets, granules, chewable tablets, and oral solution formulations
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to montelukast sodium portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 72-78% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (prescription volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations across hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online distribution channels
