Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r5lxv6/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Bioinformatics Market 2014-2018 with Accelrys, Affymetrix, Agilent, CLCbio A/S & Illumina Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Bioinformatics Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC region; it also covers the Global Bioinformatics market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. As a result of declining budgets for R&D, biotechnology companies and other organizations are seeking ways to increase efficiency by outsourcing bioinformatics to effectively support their R&D activities at less cost. Also, outsourcing may be an increasingly viable option for research organizations which lack the requisite computational infrastructure and informatics expertise for bioinformatics tools in house. Outsourcing the services to a third-party vendor can allow an organization to refocus on key projects that contribute to increasing the effectiveness of its R&D and shorten development-to-launch timelines. One of the major drivers in this market is the decreasing cost of genetic sequencing. This reduction in cost is a result of the development of tools and technologies as well as the improvements in processes made by genomics researchers. The report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the growing complexity in using bioinformatics tools and the consequent need for proper training and guidance to use these tools properly and efficiently. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Accelrys Inc. - Affymetrix Inc. - Agilent Technologies Inc. - CLCbio A/S - Illumina Inc. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02.

Global Proteomics Market 2012-2016: One of the Main Drivers in This Market Is the Increasing Demand for Personalized Medicines
M2 - Fri Feb 28, 10:17AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dn2hwq/global_proteomics) has announced the addition of the "Global Proteomics Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Proteomics market to grow at a CAGR of 14.43 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for personalized medicines. The Global Proteomics market has also been witnessing a shift from genomics to proteomics. However, the intense competition among vendors could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space are Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., Life Technologies Corp., and Danaher Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Roche Diagnostics Corp., Betcon Dickinson and Co., Affymetrix Inc., Shimadzu Corp., Bio Rad Laboratories Inc., Illumina Inc., Abbott Laboratories, GE Healthcare Ltd., Perkin Elmer Inc., Xencor Inc., Cellzome AG, Waters Corp., Dionex Corp., and Bruker Daltonics Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Healthcare team said: ''One of the recent trends being witnessed in the Global Proteomics market is the growing popularity of proteomic analysis as compared to genomic analysis. Both genomics and proteomics find application in drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and drug development. Genomics is the study of the genes or DNA of an organism. Proteomics, which was introduced after genomics, has become more popular because it offers more benefits than genomics. For instance, proteomic analysis is faster and more effective in terms of data analysis than genomic analysis. Thus, there is a considerable shift from genomics to proteomics for disease diagnosis and drug development. This trend augers well for the growth of the Global Proteomics market during the forecast period.''
