Report Highlights

  • The global market for microfluidic technologies was worth an estimated $2.9 billion in 2005. This figure should grow to $3.2 billion in 2006 and $6.2 billion by 2011, i.e., an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 14.1% over the next five years.
  • Inkjet printing is by far the largest application of microfluidics, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the total market. Despite its size, inkjet printing is the slowest-growing application segment with a projected AAGR of under 8%, and by 2011 is expected to account for slightly over half of the market.
  • Smaller application segments, particularly chemical analysis and synthesis and proteomics are growing at a slower pace than healthcare-related applications. The market for defense and public safety applications should remain small throughout the forecast period.

Published - Mar-2004| Analyst - Maura Elizabeth Lane| Code - SMC036B

Report Highlights

  • The worldwide market for microfluidic-based systems and devices is expected to climb at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 15.5% to nearly $2 billion in 2008, from $950 million in 2003.
  • New developments in fluidics, microelectronics and detection systems have enabled microfluidics to move from theory to commercial reality in only a few years.
  • The major impact of such systems and devices is likely to be in the $10 billion analytical laboratory instrumentation market.
  • With the high cost of drug development and the pressure to reduce the development cycle time, high throughput screening and lab-on-a-chip have garnered the most attention. Hence, 37% of the total current revenue comes from these areas.
