Biomedical diagnostics refers to the use of biosensor devices which provide information associated with a specific health condition or disease. Medical biosensors can diagnose a wealth of diseases and health conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, infectious diseases, and cancer.
The market for biomedical diagnostics is expected to grow steadily, reaching $43 billion by 2029, due to a growing and aging global population increasing health expenditure and more prevalent lifestyle ailments such as obesity, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Millions of people in emerging markets such as China and India are entering the middle class and pushing up the demand for a high standard of healthcare.
Traditionally, biomedical diagnosis is mainly performed by sending collected samples (blood, urine, or genetic samples) to an off-site analytical laboratory. This approach has been fundamentally changed by point-of-care biosensor devices, which allow biomedical diagnosis at the time and place of patient care. Trillions of dollars have been poured into the innovation of advanced biosensor devices that are small, sensitive, and have a fast sample-to-answer response.
This report gives a comprehensive study and complete analysis of the important trends in the field of biomedical biosensors, and lists the new technologies and devices which are likely to be highly disruptive to the in vitro diagnostics market. It includes five categories:
- Lab-on-a-chip: A large portion of point-of-care biosensors are based on microfluidic techniques and are integrated into one device. This technique simplifies the steps of testing, automates the process and enables the miniaturisation of biomedical devices. This report surveys the techniques, focussing on integrated cartridges.
- Lateral flow assays: Biomedical diagnostic devices using capillary technology for broad applications such as pregnancy testing. This report highlights the recent advancements and trends as well as the coming years.
- Electrochemical test strips: This report goes beyond the traditional glucose testing strips, and searches for non-blood diabetic management, such as continuous glucose monitoring. It also includes monitoring of lactic acid and cholesterol.
- Molecular Diagnostics: This report provides a comprehensive study of molecular diagnostics which assesses an individual's health at the molecular level by detecting genetic information in DNA, RNA or protein.
- DNA sequencing: An emerging and advanced technique entering biomedical diagnostics market, which is considered as a possible ultimate solution for healthcare in the future.
In addition, the report gives a 10-year market forecast segmented by the following applications:
- Infectious disease
- Glucose testing
- Cancer
- Cardiometabolic
- Pregnancy & fertility
- Genetic testing
- DNA sequencing
We provide a list and analysis of the main players. We also give a comprehensive study of both currently available and incoming devices that are using biosensors for biomedical diagnostics. This report will be useful to any company wishing to know the biomedical diagnostics market, advanced techniques and biosensor devices, current market size and future tendency.
