Hi,

Thanks for your question. 

Below is a basic structure. 

 

Value of nursing home market in Germany

Assuming value is Revenue - which is generally the case (market size is the total revenue generated by that entity)

Layer 1

# of nursing homes in Germany

Small 300

Medium 200

Big 100

Layer 2

average # of beds in the nursing home

Small 100

Medium 200

Big 500

Layer 3

Average length of stay for each patient 1 month 

Layer 4

Revenue per month per patient

Small  $10K

Medium  $20K

Big $30K

Layer 5

Utilization rate by hospital (annual) 

Small 90%

Medium 70%

Big 50%

Layer 6 

Total revenue

Multiple layer 1 to 6 (adding numbers for small, medium and big). Note utilization rate is % of year.

Feel free to get in touch if need more help.

Thanks,

Sohini

Hi there,

  • Define the outcome variable, is it the number of nursing homes, revenue generated per year, etc?
  • Think about the population breakdown
  • Think about what segment of the population would need nursing
  • Think about how this splits between at-home care and nursing homes
  • Once you find the number of people, think about the revenue you generate per person per year (what it costs to be in a nursing home)
  • Multiply the two and you get to the market size (assuming we are looking at the revenue generated)
  • Think about additional considerations
  • Discuss your answer qualitatively

This is just a high-level approach and could/should be refined at each stage (e.g., the segments of the population that would need nursing homes, revenue paid).

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, can you please provide a proposal that I can review?
  • Moreover, please keep in mind that most major strategy consulting firms have not used standalone market size estimations for a long time. While this does not mean it never happens, this type of case study question may not be very meaningful for both the candidate and interviewer, as only a few skills are being tested.
  • That being said, simpler market size estimations may still be a part of a case study, for instance when estimating the revenues of the client company is required.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi,

I can share one specific tip: for a question like this, assuming value = revenue, it would be helpful to think about how many people actually need nursing homes and the price of one ‘space’ in a nursing home.
