Executive Summary:
Microbiology is the last remaining major segment of the diagnostic testing market which is still largely labor-intensive. The market for automated microbiology instruments is on the verge of explosion and is expected to undergo a more radical transformation during the next ten years than at any time in the past.
Despite the long-recognized market needs for automating microbiological procedures, only the recent advances in DNA probes, biochips, monoclonal antibodies, immunoassays, new detection technologies, specimen collection devices, computers and automation have permitted the development of rapid and versatile systems.
The considerable size and scope of mainly untapped opportunities are attracting growing attention of companies from both inside and outside the diagnostics industry. Many firms have already committed extensive R&D resources to the development of new automated systems.
In order to help current and potential suppliers identify emerging opportunities in the automated microbiology market in Germany, size the competition, and develop effective business strategies, we are currently preparing this comprehensive market survey. The study will explore future marketing and technological trends; provide estimates of the specimen and test volume, instrument placements and sales through the year 2015; compare features of major analyzers; profile leading competitors; and identify specific new product development and marketing opportunities facing suppliers during the next ten years.
