Global DNA diagnostics market is expected to reach nearly $36.5 billion by 2018

Molecular diagnostics and molecular imaging for diagnostics have benefited greatly from research conducted since the completion of the Human Genome Project. Biomarkers are playing increasingly important roles, and one disease area, cancer, is getting much attention in this regard. Technologies such as DNA microarrays are being used to analyze biological samples in molecular diagnostics to identify high-risk patients, predict response to therapy, and monitor patients during treatment to either determine effectiveness of treatment or detect recurrence of disease. Numerous companies are developing molecular oncology diagnostics tests.

In 2012, the global DNA diagnostics market was valued at more than $17.3 billion. The total market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% from 2013 through 2018 to reach nearly $36.5 billion by 2018.

Within the global DNA diagnostics market, the market for polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostic assays claimed the largest share in 2012 with an estimated $8.3 billion. The PCR diagnostics market is projected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 11.5% to reach $16.3 billion by 2018.
The fastest-growing segment of the DNA diagnostics market is the biochip/lab-on-a-chip (LOAC) market, which was valued at $1.7 billion in 2012. It is projected to increase at a CAGR of 17% to reach $4.6 billion by 2018. The market for microarray diagnostic assays was valued at $3.9 billion in 2012 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% to reach $8.2 billion by 2018. The market for in situ hybridization diagnostic assays was valued at nearly $3.3 billion in 2012 and is projected to increase at a CAGR of 12.8% to reach nearly $7.1 billion by 2018.

Molecular screens for oncology applications will be one of the key drivers for the clinical use of diagnostics. Total demand for products in this area is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2013 to 2018. While microarrays are and will remain the top revenue contributors during the forecast period, the highest growth will be seen in the development and approval of novel biochips. Microarray revenues equaled $1.8 billion in 2012 and will grow by a CAGR of 13.2% to reach $4 billion in 2018. Biochips are projected to increase at a CAGR of 19.9% and reach $2.5 billion in 2018.

Molecular Diagnostics: Technologies and Global Markets (BIO063B) examines the global market for assays used to detect specific nucleic acid sequences in medical and life-sciences applications. While the goal of all DNA-based diagnostic assays is similar, several different technologies can be employed. BCC analyzes each technology in detail, determines major players and current market status, and presents forecasts of growth over the next five years. Scientific challenges and advances, including the latest trends, are emphasized. We examine government regulations, major collaborations, recent patents, and factors affecting the industry worldwide. In addition, we examine new directions for DNA diagnostic technologies and emerging applications in clinical diagnostics.

Global market in volume for engineering resins and polymer alloys and blends is projected to increase to 28 billion pounds by 2018

The global market in volume for engineering resins and polymer alloys and blends was estimated at more than 22 billion pounds in 2012 and is projected to increase to 28 billion pounds by 2018 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%.

Asia comprises the largest segment with nearly 55% of the total market, followed by Europe and the Americas. Over the next five years, the Asian segment will increase, but at a slower rate than the previous decade due to significant penetration over the last decade. The global market value was estimated at nearly $43 billion in 2012 and is expected to increase to more than $55 billion by 2018.

The polycarbonates and polyamides are clearly the most prominent segments, accounting for slightly more than 60% of total volume, and that scenario is expected to remain intact over the next five years. The main driving force for developing alloys/blends is the reduced time and cost in commercializing new effective products, and ability to tailor properties with two known entities.
In terms of technology-driven factors, miniaturization of electronic/electric products is still a very important factor, although it may begin to reach its saturation point; thin-walling of molded parts; and higher soldering temperatures due to SMT and lead-free soldering have been some of the key parameters affecting choices and volumes of plastics used to mold electronic components.

Technology factors will drive the use for resins with higher HDTs and Tgs and lower dielectric constants. Resins with higher physical profiles will be in greater demand to meet these requirements, but pricing still remains an important consideration.

 RSS Feeds – Plastics

Demand for medical plastics will outpace packaging applications, especially in the area of prosthetic devices and minimally-invasive surgical instruments. Plastics in the packaging sector are largely driven by cost. Most consider that the use of engineering resins will increase faster than commodity resins because of increased physical demands being placed on resins used for medical devices.
Presterilized disposable plastic medical devices are generally replacing reusable devices, both plastic and nonplastic.

The single largest driving force has been fear of spreading communicable diseases in the healthcare environment; the trend is supported by the cost-effectiveness of disposables versus reusables.

The objective of Engineering Resins, Polymer Alloys and Blends (PLS020C) is to provide a detailed analysis of engineering resins along with polymer alloys/blends. Usage of these resins will be segmented into a wide variety of applications and analyses, and will include some intracompetition of these resins among themselves along with selected commodity thermoplastics and thermosets.

Global Market for Mobile Wallet Technologies to Reach $665 Billion in 2017

The key objective of the mobile wallet is to facilitate a user with an electronic wallet in which all the contents of a real wallet such as cash and cards are electronically available at any time and anywhere. The most important driver for money transfers through a mobile wallet is the transfer without the need of Internet (typical Internet-enabled desktops or laptops). This increases the accessibility of such a facility to the rural segment and also individuals who do not hold bank accounts.

A business module is the major driver adopted in the mobile wallet system. This module requires few changes involved in technological infrastructure; new internal controls and training must be monitored and designed. The various players in a business module could be mobile operator-centric, bank-centric, hybrid collaborative, or independent service provider. Analyzing, creating and delivering new services for customer satisfaction can drive a mobile operator to see profits and bring in new customers.

For both business-to-customer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) activities, customer relation management (CRM) should provide technological infrastructure to detect and rectify risk factors, liabilities, and responsibilities related to mobile payment customer grievances while handling cross-organizational and cross-platform transactions in a business module.

The Asia-Pacific region generates the highest revenues from the mobile wallet and will continue to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The increased penetration levels of smartphones combined with the convenience of processing low-cost and high-volume transactions through the mobile wallet is expected to drive the market growth in this region at a very significant rate.
