Nucleic Acid Testing: Infectious Diseases, Cancer, Genetic Diseases, Forensic Testing, Paternity Testing/HLA Typing--Technological Breakthroughs, Emerging Tests, Market Forecasts, Competitive Intelligence
This unique seven-country, 1,050-page report is designed to help current suppliers and potential market entrants identify and evaluate major business opportunities emerging in the NAT market during this decade.
Highlights
Business and technological trends in seven major markets- Five- and ten-year test volume and sales forecasts- Market shares of leading competitors- Feature comparison of major analyzers- Profiles of market players and start-up firms developing innovative technologies and products- Specific product and business opportunities for instrument and consumable suppliers.
Rationale
The NAT market is unquestionably the most rapidly growing segment of the in vitro diagnostics industry. The next ten years will witness significant developments in reagent systems and automation, as well as introduction of a wide range of new products that will require innovative marketing approaches. The rate of market penetration into routine clinical laboratories, however, will depend on the introduction of cost-effective and automated systems with amplification methods.In order to successfully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the NAT market, many companies are already exploiting new molecular technologies as corporate strategic assets, managed in support of business and marketing strategies. Integrating new technology planning with business and corporate strategies will be one of the most challenging tasks for diagnostic companies during the next five years.Geographic Coverage
