Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. From antibiotic manufacturers, vaccine developers, and diagnostic companies, supply-side sources comprised CEOs, VPs of Infectious Disease R&D, regulatory affairs leaders, and commercial directors. Infectious disease specialists, epidemiologists, public health officers, medical microbiologists, and procurement leads from national CDCs, WHO regional offices, hospitals, and field research stations in endemic regions constituted demand-side sources. Market segmentation was validated, antibiotic and vaccine pipeline timelines were confirmed, and insights regarding clinical treatment protocols, stockpiling strategies, and international health regulation dynamics were obtained through primary research.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and case volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 35+ key manufacturers across antibiotics, vaccines, diagnostics, and supportive care segments
Product mapping across streptomycin, gentamicin, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, plague vaccines (live attenuated and subunit), and rapid diagnostic tests
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to plague and broader plague/bioterrorism defense portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 65-70% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (case volume × treatment cost by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic plague treatment markets
