REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

  • The use of molecular and FISH cytogenetic methods in genetic disease testing in the United States and internationally is growing. In 2005, domestic and international molecular methods are forecasted to represent 64.0% and 11.9% of the genetic disease testing applications market, while domestic and international cytogenetic procedures represent 17.4% and 6.6% of the sales market. The average annual growth rates of domestic and international molecular and cytogenetic procedures are 10.1%, 7.7%, 12.3% and 13.0%, respectively.
  • In DNA diagnostics, there are a variety of technologies used for genetic disease testing. The genetic disease DNA diagnostic technology market reached a level of $375.2 million in sales in 1998. Sales levels for genetic disease DNA diagnostic technology are estimated to be $508.8 million in 2000. In 2005, projected sales growth of genetic disease DNA diagnostic technology is projected to rise to nearly $772 million in 1999 constant dollars. This is an 8.4% average annual growth rate (AAGR).
  • The variety of technologies used to develop DNA diagnostic genetic disease tests reflects the wide variability of what is detected in a disease gene as well as the drive to find a cost-effective genetic disease DNA diagnostic testing method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology has dominated the genetic disease DNA diagnostic market for the last three years. Estimated sales of PCR for the year 2000 are 394.1 million dollars and projected to be on the order of $606.6 million dollars in 2005.
