KEY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING MARKETS

SUMMARY

This TriMark Publications report reviews the high-growth market segments for clinical laboratory testing equipment and supplies in the clinical hospital market, using screening reagents and instruments for analysis of individual components in blood, serum or plasma. Further, it examines the subsections of each market segment, including the clinical laboratory and research areas. Activity and trends in the clinical diagnostic market are discussed, including the numbers of institutions using this type of testing, and the factors that influence purchasing activity. Discussion details the trends that have developed that stimulate this market, and offers detailed comments on the patterns of information processing in point-of-care (POC) testing instruments. The study surveys most of the important companies known to be marketing, manufacturing or developing instruments and reagents in the areas selected as high-growth diagnostic markets in the U.S. and worldwide. Each company is discussed in depth, with a section on its history, product line, business and marketing analysis, and a subjective commentary on the company' s position in its market and its strategic direction.
