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

Sizing starts from unit volumes: CPAP, APAP and BiPAP device shipments by region, paired with average selling prices that vary by device tier and country reimbursement level, plus mask and accessory replacement units derived from the installed base and a typical replacement cycle. Diagnostic device revenue is built from polysomnography system placements and respiratory polygraph and actigraph unit sales priced per instrument, alongside per-study testing volumes where relevant. This bottom-up build is then checked against the disclosed respiratory-care segment revenue of major device manufacturers. Where the two diverge, the bottom-up assumption, typically an average selling price or a replacement-cycle length, is corrected to match the disclosed figure rather than averaging the two estimates together.

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 outreach targets commercial and product leaders at positive airway pressure device manufacturers, clinical and procurement staff at sleep laboratories and home healthcare agencies, durable medical equipment distributors who fit and service devices, and regulatory affairs contacts who track device clearances and reimbursement code changes. Sampling weights North America and Europe most heavily, since insurance-linked purchasing there generates the clearest visibility into device pricing, replacement timing and channel margins. Asia Pacific contacts are added specifically to capture the pace of home sleep testing adoption and local manufacturing capacity, since disclosure standards and distribution structures in that region differ from the reimbursement-anchored markets that otherwise dominate the interview base.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research rests on the FDA's 510(k) clearance database for positive airway pressure and diagnostic sleep devices, CE marking and EU MDR notified-body listings for the same device classes, and national reimbursement schedules, including CMS durable medical equipment fee codes such as HCPCS E0601 for CPAP devices, which anchor pricing assumptions in the largest reimbursed market. These are read alongside the respiratory-care segment disclosures that major manufacturers publish in their own financial filings and national health insurance claims data where it separately reports sleep apnea diagnosis and therapy codes.

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 diagnosed-prevalence growth curves for obstructive, central and mixed sleep apnea, the pace at which home sleep apnea testing substitutes for in-lab polysomnography, the rate at which a positive diagnosis converts into an initiated PAP therapy, and the replacement-purchase timing of masks and accessories among patients already on therapy. It also normalizes for the diagnostic backlog that built up during 2021 and 2022, when deferred elective sleep studies temporarily depressed device volumes before catching up. For the forecast to hold, reimbursement coverage for home testing and PAP therapy needs to keep expanding at roughly its recent pace in the markets sampled.

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 are back-tested against recorded 2020-2024 shipment and revenue growth for the device categories where manufacturer disclosures exist, checking that the implied historical trajectory matches what was actually reported rather than only what the model would predict. Segment share shifts, including the gradual move from CPAP toward APAP and BiPAP and the growing share taken by home testing devices, are reviewed against clinician and distributor feedback rather than assumed. Sensitivities are tested on the reimbursement rate applied to home sleep testing and on the mask and accessory replacement-cycle length, since both assumptions carry more forecast weight than any single device category.

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 firmest in the CPAP, APAP and BiPAP device sizing, since it anchors most directly to disclosed manufacturer revenue. It is softer in the home diagnostic device categories and in the non-OSA indications, where reporting is thinner and adoption pathways are still forming. The main structural risk is a reimbursement policy shift, either widening or narrowing home testing coverage, or a new device clearance that reshapes prescribing patterns faster than the historical trend implies; either would move segment shares more than it would move the total.
