The world market for the POL sector of point-of-care diagnostics is provided in U.S. dollars for the years 2009 - 2014. No adjustments have been made to the market data for the effects of currency exchange fluctuations or inflation. This may seem problematic, given the drastic devaluation of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese Yen, euro and Swiss Franc. Kalorama has decided to use a constant exchange rate because it is a more accurate reflection of actual revenue growth in dollars rather than growth due to exchange rate fluctuations.
