The US market for in vitro diagnostic

University: Economics

...
Established uses in metabolic and infectious disease detection and therapeutic drug monitoring, coupled with increasing applications in cancer, cardiovascular disease and congenital marker testing, will keep immunoassays the second-largest selling IVD product group. However, overall growth opportunities for immunoassay diagnostics will decelerate over the next decade due to increasing competition from nucleic acid and cellular analysis testing products. Competitive and market trends will also weaken growth prospects for IVD products used in blood testing applications. Advances in immunoassays, PCR and microarray technologies will moderate gains in demand for hematology reagents and instruments. Trends toward less invasive surgery will soften growth prospects for blood banking diagnostics. Improvements in the safety of anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapies will slow gains in sales of hemostasis testing products.
