This new 269-page report from VPGMarketResearch.com provides a comprehensive analysis in the UK endocrine function market, including emerging tests, technologies, instrumentation, sales forecasts by country, market shares and strategic profiles of leading suppliers. The report provides test volume and sales forecasts by country and market segment for the following assays: Cortisol, Estradiol, FSH, HCG, Gastrin, LH, Progesterone, PTH/IO PTH, Prolactin, T3, T3 Uptake, Free T3, T4, Free T4, TBG, Testosterone, Thyroglobulin Ab, TPO Ab and TSH
During the next five years, the endocrine function testing market will undergo significant transformation. These changes will be caused by convergence of new and more stringent regulations; advances in diagnostic technologies, system engineering, automation, and IT; and intensifying competition. Some segments will start resembling commodity markets, where product positioning and cost per test are more critical than underlying technology. This evolving marketplace will create exciting opportunities for a variety of new instruments, reagent systems, and auxiliary products, such as specimen preparation devices, controls, calibrators and others. This report is a unique market and technology assessment designed to help current suppliers and potential market entrants identify and evaluate emerging opportunities and developed effective strategic responses.
The study explores future trends; provides test volume and sales forecasts; compares features of leading analyzers; and profiles key competitors. Contains 269 pages and 16 tables
