Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from unit volumes: mechanical and digital peak flow meter shipments across hospital, clinic, diagnostic centre, and homecare channels, each carrying its own realised price band from institutional tender pricing at the low end to retail and online consumer pricing at the high end for connected digital devices. Procedure and prescription volumes for asthma and COPD monitoring anchor the homecare unit count specifically. That bottom-up build is then checked against disclosed respiratory and diagnostics segment revenue reported by device manufacturers with a peak flow meter or respiratory monitoring line. Where the two diverge, the unit price or channel-mix assumption feeding the bottom-up build is the item corrected, not the disclosed company figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary interviews target respiratory therapists, pulmonologists, and procurement leads at hospitals and diagnostic centres who select and reorder peak flow meters, alongside pharmacy buyers and distributors who manage retail and online channel stocking. Regulatory affairs contacts at device manufacturers provide visibility into clearance timing for new digital variants. Sampling weights North America and Europe, where established reimbursement and prescribing pathways generate the clearest channel and pricing detail, while interviews across Asia Pacific target manufacturers and distributors serving China and India's expanding homecare and school-screening channels, and a smaller set of Latin American and Middle Eastern contacts confirms channel mix in markets where public tender purchasing dominates.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on the FDA's 510(k) clearance database for peak flow meter and spirometry-adjacent device submissions, the EU's EUDAMED registry for CE-marked devices sold into Europe, and national customs records under the HS code covering respiratory diagnostic instruments for cross-border shipment volumes. Asthma and COPD prevalence figures come from the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and WHO respiratory disease surveillance reports, which anchor the homecare demand base. Public hospital tender and procurement records in the United Kingdom, India, and Gulf Cooperation Council markets provide institutional pricing benchmarks where open tender data is published.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from the pace at which home-based asthma and COPD monitoring programs replace clinic-only follow-up, the rate at which digital and connected meters displace purely mechanical units, and pricing behaviour as digital devices move from early adoption toward broader reimbursement and retail availability. Pediatric screening program expansion is treated as a distinct, slower-moving adoption curve rather than folded into the adult base. The forecast normalizes for a temporary screening backlog that built up during periods of reduced in-person clinical access, treating the subsequent catch-up demand as one-time, not part of the underlying growth rate. For the forecast to hold, telehealth-linked monitoring adoption needs to keep expanding at a pace comparable to recent years.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs were checked by back-testing the 2020-2024 build against recorded historical growth in respiratory device shipment data and against the asthma and COPD prevalence trends reported over the same period. Segment shifts, particularly the pace of digital displacement of mechanical meters and the rise of homecare share, were reviewed against clinician and procurement interview feedback alongside the historical trendline. Sensitivities were tested on the pediatric screening adoption rate and on the pace of institutional-to-online channel migration, since both carry wider uncertainty than the overall unit volume base. Regional splits were cross-checked against relative healthcare spending and diagnosed-prevalence levels in each market.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmer for the homecare and hospital channel splits, where prevalence data and institutional procurement patterns are well documented, and for the mechanical-versus-digital product split, which tracks observable pricing tiers. It is thinner for the pediatric age-group estimate and for channel mix in markets with limited published tender data, where the split rests more on adjacent respiratory-device patterns than on direct disclosure. A shift in reimbursement policy for connected monitoring devices, or a faster-than-expected consolidation of peak flow measurement into combined spirometry devices, would be the most likely trigger for a future revision to this estimate.
