Strategic insights: Market intelligence report on in-vitro diagnostics (Hematology) across Europe.

The project delivered strategic insights into Europe’s IVD market, empowering the client to optimize positioning, target innovations, and engage key customer segments for growth.

Outcome

  • An overview of the European laboratory landscape, segmented by type, regional distribution, and equipment usage, offering actionable insights for market entry and growth strategies.
  • Identification of key competitors, pricing structures, and supplier preferences, alongside customer decision-making processes and unmet needs.
  • Opportunities in product innovation, training and service offerings, financing models, and niche market segments, equipping the client with tailored strategies to optimize market positioning and capture emerging demand.

KEY INTELLIGENCE OBJECTIVES

  • Map all European laboratories segmented into public hospitals, private hospitals, outpatient clinics, network laboratories, and independent laboratories, and provide contact details, types of analyses, and equipment specifications.
  • Assess equipment lifecycles and purchasing plans, identifying whether devices are new or nearing replacement, planned purchase timelines, and preferred financing options (e.g., cash or leasing).
  • Evaluate reagent supply chains and pricing, pinpointing suppliers, analysis costs, and the influence of reagent purchases on equipment warranties.
  • Analyze the market structure for hematology analyzers, categorizing manufacturers and distributors by 3 GIV (basic analyzers) and 5 GIV (advanced analyzers), with price segmentation by features and performance.
  • Examine purchasing behaviors and decision-making processes, focusing on preferences for original vs. generic reagents, supplier selection criteria, and prevalent purchasing models.
  • Profile the ideal supplier by highlighting “must-have,” “good-to-have,” and “bonus” attributes based on customer satisfaction, service quality, pricing, and financing options.
  • Investigate niche market opportunities in SPA centers, fitness facilities, hospices, and dietary centers.
  • Analyze regional variations in market dynamics, covering laboratory distribution, sales territories, and competitive positioning by region.
  • Evaluate competitor strategies and innovations, tracking new product launches, ongoing research, and customer perceptions of key competitors, including the role of Chinese products in the market.
