FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Global Market for DNA Diagnostics Technologies Worth $20.1 Billion by 2013

Wellesley, Mass—According to a new technical market research report, DNA DIAGNOSTICS: TECHNOLOGIES AND GLOBAL MARKETS (BIO063A) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for DNA diagnostics technology is expected to be worth $10.6 billion in 2008. This will increase to over $20.1 billion by 2013, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%.

The market is broken down into applications of DNA microarrays, polymerase chain reaction-based assays (PCR), in-situ hybridization diagnostics (ISH), and lab-on-a-chip diagnostics (LOAC). Of these, PCR-based assays will claim the largest share of the market in 2008 with a value of $5.4 billion. This segment should reach $9.5 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 11.9%.

DNA microarrays represent the second largest segment, with $2.4 billion in revenue expected in 2008. This figure will grow to $4.6 billion in 2013 for a CAGR of 13.8%. ISH diagnostics will increase from $1.9 billion in 2008 to $3.9 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 15.3%. The fastest growing segment of the DNA diagnostics market is the lab-on-a-chip market, which is expected to reach $890 million in 2008 and $2.1 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 18.7%.   

Molecular diagnostics and molecular imaging for diagnostics have benefited greatly from research since the completion of the Human Genome Project. Biomarkers are playing increasingly important roles, especially in the area of cancer research and treatment. Technologies are being used to analyze biological samples in molecular diagnostics to identify high-risk patients, predict response to therapy, and monitor patients during treatment.
