Market Modelers provides actionable insights into the drivers and inhibitors of commercial success through merging specialized market research with dynamic forecast models. We create world-class opportunity assessments to inform development, investment, and acquisition decisions. 

Our focus is healthcare – we partner with medical device, pharmaceutical and biotech companies of all sizes to create value.   

Forecasts Supported by Research

Market Modelers conducts global market research with practitioners, patients, consumers, and stakeholders to understand the key drivers of adoption and market share. We dig deep to discover the environmental and behavioral factors that drive and inhibit purchasing and prescribing decisions.

We translate these research findings into forecast models. Models that reflect the complexities of the market through tested adoption and market share algorithms.

We create compelling and understandable reports that highlight the opportunities and risks of your commercial projects.

We can provide these services in a turnkey package or à la carte.

Market Research with a Mission

Our research studies are designed to produce actionable insights to maximize the performance of your investments.

Our research efforts start with understanding the business questions you need to answer. We will clarify how the study data collected will be used and what decisions will be supported by the findings. Example objectives include:

  • Explore market needs, segments, and use cases
  • Discover product requirements and prioritize feature sets
  • Test concepts, messaging, artwork
  • Assess maximum technology penetration
  • Quantify the impact of key variables on adoption uptake
  • Identify price and feature sensitivities
  • Understand competitive market share potential

Experienced in Multiple Methodologies

After considering your resource and timing constraints, we will recommend the best-suited methodologies to achieve your objectives efficiently.

  • Ethnographic studies (home, facility, or work sites)
  • Simulated hands-on testing (individual, dyads, and triads)
  • Focus groups (exploring and quantifying)
  • Hybrid telephone and web-assisted in-depth interviews
  • Content analysis of recorded interviews
  • Factor analytics of subject and product traits
  • Professional and consumer web-based studies

Exploration and Quantification

Do you want the richness of probing discussions with the reliable quantification of a well-designed survey?

Our efficient QualQuant research designs allow exploration of subjective experience and objective measurement within the same study. This allows us to blend the richness of exploratory discussions with the data reliability of a structured survey.

We apply QualQuant to in-depth and one-on-one interviews, dyads, and focus group research. We are equipped to conduct these studies globally in any language.

Forecast Modeling

We translate complex market dynamics into usable, dynamic, and intuitive predictive models.  

A forecast model must capture the salient market dynamics with fidelity. The assumptions and methodologies should be transparent, understandable, and clearly documented. The results need to hold up under the scrutiny of savvy executives, investors, and stakeholders.

Our models are flexible and reliable. They are built to immediately reflect the impact of changes to indications, launch dates, commercial spending, competitive landscape, and many other key variables.  

Answering Business Critical Questions

What do you need to know? 

  • Impact of a six-month delay in product launch
  • Value of an expedited reimbursement approval
  • The upside of an awarded expanded indication
  • Return on investment from an expansion of sales resources?
  • Probability of a positive NPV from an investment?

We can conduct a wide range of performance and uncertainty analytics, including sensitivity and scenario analyses, decision trees, optimizations, and financial simulations to shed light on the upsides and downsides of your base case projections. 

Representative Model Components

Each model is built specifically for your project from a plan developed with your team’s input. A representative model might include:

  • Incidence/prevalence of targeted diseases or procedures
  • Market segments and segment growth rates
  • Eligibility exclusions including reimbursement
  • Technology adoption and disruption 
  • Current and future competitive environments
  • Sales and marketing prioritization and spend
  • Price drivers and pressures
  • Distribution, incentives, and rebates discounts
