Business Challenge

A leading supplier of respiratory products wanted to better understand the market size and competitive share positions of nebulizers and accessories. Little market data was available and market intelligence on this niche market was needed.

Research Objective

To obtain sufficient market intelligence from homecare dealers to determine:

  • Market size of nebulizer handset
  • Market shares of the leading competitor
  • Market opportunities to increase penetration

 

Methodology

AMG Research conducted more than 350 telephone interviews with durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers. The sample plan included a representative mix of national and independent homecare dealers.

A total of 600 locations were contacted during the study, but not all locations qualified for an interview because they did not sell these products. This information was useful in accurately sizing the market.
