CONTEXT & RELEVANCE

Why run this survey now

Most medical device companies don't lose hospital contracts purely on product specs. They lose them due to unverified clinical reputation, misread procurement committee priorities, weak KOL endorsement, inconsistent service track records, and price-tier misalignment, none of which fully show up in tender win-loss reports or sales CRM data.

If you are...

  • Device brand vs local manufacturer

  • MedTech portfolio head

  • Hospital procurement committee member

  • Commercial or tender sales lead

  • Hospital network strategy director

You're likely facing...

  • Brand trust gap: imported vs domestic

  • Procurement drop-off: evaluation stage

  • Global OEMs = reliable/slow perception

  • Local brands = affordable/unproven perception

  • Renewal risk: service and support gaps

This will help answer...

  • Trust drivers beyond clinical specs

  • Procurement stage drop-off point

  • Segment preference by hospital tier

  • Price sensitivity vs brand premium

  • Switching triggers at contract renewal

METHODOLOGY

Survey approach

For the Medical Device Brand Trust and Hospital Procurement Decision Survey, we recommend a quant-first design with flexible data-collection modes to balance reach, depth, and verification across hospital procurement roles.

Themes and verbatims
Messaging concept feedback
OPTIONAL
Mixed surveysAny 4-mode combo Online + CATI + F2F + FGDs to maximise reach and representation. Mode-specific quotas and weighting for clean comparisons.
Deliverables
Unified dataset
Mode-adjusted analytics
Our Recommendation
Start with: Online web survey as the core quant layer, targeting hospital procurement committees, biomedical heads, and clinical department leads across private and public hospital segments.
Consider adding: CATI for Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospital coverage where digital response rates are low, and F2F interviews for large hospital groups and capital equipment procurement panels where decision complexity requires direct verification.

CASELET 2

Diagnostic imaging equipment trust signals & positioning (South Asia)

Surgical consumables channel preference & procurement friction (India)

OBJECTIVE

A mid-size surgical consumables manufacturer needed to map how purchase committee members at private multispecialty hospitals and government district hospitals shortlist vendors, weigh clinical endorsement against price compliance , and decide on annual contract renewals.

WHAT WE DID

Ran a structured quant survey across 180 procurement officers and biomedical heads in 6 cities, capturing vendor shortlisting criteria , tender compliance steps , approval hierarchy depth , and the relative weight assigned to clinical staff recommendation versus finance committee override .

DELIVERED

A vendor selection criteria map ranked by hospital tier, a procurement friction list segmented by approval stage, and a set of channel levers identifying where clinical advocacy most reliably converts into a shortlist position.
