In 2010, the total global market for biomarkers was an estimated $13.5 billion and is expected to grow to nearly $33.3 billion by the end of 2015 at a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%.
Of all segments, genomics will continue as the largest, at 2010 revenue of $5.1 billion, growing to $16.9 billion in 2015, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.9%. Genomics has been and will continue to be the fastest-growing driver of biomarker technology.
Imaging, as a modality, completed 2010 with $4.2 billion in revenue. The next 5 years will continue to see growth, slightly outpacing proteomics, at a 14.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2010 to 2015 to reach a value of $8.4 million in 2015.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of biomarkers on a global basis. Its aim is to provide a range of information, from detailed product analyses within disease subsegments to overall industry trends, in order to quantify and qualify the market for products and services in the biomarkers segment. Individual product-types are forecast on a global basis, as are overall segments. Forecasts and trends are developed from a cross-reference of data points, gleaned from proprietary industry sources, company publications, industry benchmarking, and other divergent data sources to arrive at a cogent and coordinated forecast.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
For companies with an effective strategy, market opportunity awaits. Importantly, the ability to develop an effective strategy begins with where opportunity exists and ends with how to effectively execute to capture profit from opportunity.
The biomarkers market presents the largest of all opportunities in representative disease subsegments. This study investigates one of the most important market drivers: the introduction of combination therapies, which are expected to continue to contribute substantially to market growth through the forecast period. This report analyzes emerging markets, by disease segment. Continued growth is expected in emerging geographies, driven by the growing middle class in emerging countries such as India, China, Brazil, and Russia.
This report seeks to address the critically important topics of analyzing a changing market dynamic, emerging players and technologies, strategies for accessing emerging markets, and specific disease segments and geographies in order to allocate resources and make effective decisions.
SCOPE OF REPORT
Current and projected product forecasts during the forecast period (2010 to 2015) are discussed. As well, new products approved in 2009 and 2010 by the FDA, and those products expected to be approved within the forecast period are projected. 2010 is an estimated figure, except where actual results have been reported, due to the release timing of the report. For all areas, including the very large markets segments such as infectious disease and cardiovascular specific mechanisms of action are discussed in detail.
The report includes analysis of leading and emerging competitors in the current worldwide biomarkers market. Profiles of manufacturers of leading products as well as biotechnology companies with novel products in development are analyzed to define their specific product strategies employed. This report also assesses companies poised to introduce products during the forecast period and discusses how these introductions will change the face of the competitive environment. The competitive environment is examined with a special focus on how new products and technologies are influencing the current standard of care. Detailed profiles of current market leaders are discussed, as well as companies with innovative products poised to advance within the forecast period.
Market figures are based on revenues at the manufacturers' level and are projected at 2010-dollar value. Inflation is not computed into the projection figures. Trends are assessed based on projected sales for existing products, new product introductions, expanded indications for existing products, and projected changes in the prevalence, diagnosis, and scripting rates for certain diseases.
Included in this report are forecasts by product, product category, and by company from 2009 through 2015. The study is arranged to offer an overview of the biomarkers market accompanied by product, company, geography, and mechanism of action with forecasts broken down and covered by geographic region or country. Virtually the entire globe is covered to include prevalence data, for each disease subsegment.
Excluded from this report are over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and other consumables that do not require a physician's prescription.
Sales figures are reported in U.S. dollars and in each case reflect currency fluctuations within the performance of revenue change. Revenue figures do not account for variation in local currencies.
All market share data presented is on a global basis, unless specifically noted.
