The other vendors mentioned in the report are Alere Inc., Axxin Pvt Ltd., Eiken Chemical Co. Ltd., Great Basin Corp., Lucigen Corp., Meridian Bioscience Inc., New England Biolabs Inc., and Optigene Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Molecular Diagnostics industry is experiencing a rapid shift toward an increase in the process automation and integration of sample analysis in single miniaturized devices. Miniaturization offers scope for reduced sample volume, enabling the end-user to automate and analyze the sample. Among all the diagnostic methods, nucleic acid testing remains the method with the most potential for conducting analysis in miniaturized devices. Although PCR is one of the standard techniques for conducting amplification reaction, the method is quite complex due to the need for repeated thermo cycling and cooling, and it consumes more energy in the process. As an alternative to PCR, isothermal nucleic amplification circumvents the need for repeated denaturation and cooling as the amplification reaction occurs under isothermal conditions. This greatly aids in the design of microfluidic chips for conducting molecular diagnostics. Most of these microfluidic devices adopting isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods are in the R&D phase. It is expected that the increase in miniaturization of nucleic acid-based diagnostics will boost the growth of the market.

The global biopsy devices market value will increase at a modest rate over the coming years, climbing from $506.4 million in 2013 to $602.4 million by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.93% The biopsy devices market in emerging economies, such as China, India and Brazil, will increase at much higher CAGRS than the global rate, reaching shares of 24%, 10% and 6% by 2019, respectively. Despite the modest global growth, several barriers are dampening the potential adoption of biopsy devices within a number of markets. Notably in the US, reimbursement for image-guided breast biopsies has undergone drastic cuts, which The authors expects will have a significant effect on the adoption of more expensive vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) devices. Joseph Gregory, the analyst covering Surgical Devices, says: Additionally, routine screening for prostate cancer and breast cancer has come under scrutiny, as sophisticated clinical trials reveal that these interventions have a minimal impact on the cancer related mortality. This is a long-term setback for the adoption of biopsy devices in diagnosing these cancers, given that these criticisms could curb adoption of routine screening. While these challenges are likely to affect the biopsy devices market, The authors believes that current and future players can still position themselves to obtain a competitive advantage. The major European countries have general mass-screening programs for breast cancer detection and will be increasing their adoption of VAB devices over the forecast period. Additionally, the emerging economies are increasing their access to healthcare resources and showing a preference for more expensive core needle biopsy devices over fine needle aspiration devices, Gregory concludes. This report and forecast focuses on the adoption patterns of surgical biopsies, fine needle aspiration (FNA) devices, core needle biopsy (CNB) devices, and vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) devices in the diagnosis of breast, prostate, lung, liver, and thyroid cancers. Countries covered include the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, Brazil, China, and India.

The use of DBT to diagnose breast cancer in patients with dense breasts is an emerging trend in the Global DBT market. Although mammography still remains the best imaging technique for detecting breast cancer, it can fail to detect 37-70 percent of breast cancer cases in women with dense breasts. As a result, there can be a delay in diagnosis for women with dense breast tissues. DBT enables the removal of overlapping tissue artifacts, especially in dense breasts, and offers better screening sensitivity. Thus, increased use of DBT for patients with dense breasts will fuel the demand for DBT equipment in the Diagnostic industry. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increase in the incidence of breast cancer among women, which has led to an increase in demand for imaging equipment such as breast tomosynthesis devices. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by the market is the lack of reimbursement policies for breast imaging through DBT for breast cancer diagnosis.

Global Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Market to 2018 with Hologic, GE, Siemens & Internazionale Medico Scientifica Dominating
M2 - Thu Feb 27, 5:43AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zs3twc/global_digital) has announced the addition of the "Global Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Market to 2018 with Hologic, GE, Siemens & Internazionale Medico Scientifica Dominating" report to their offering. The use of DBT to diagnose breast cancer in patients with dense breasts is an emerging trend in the Global DBT market. Although mammography still remains the best imaging technique for detecting breast cancer, it can fail to detect 37-70 percent of breast cancer cases in women with dense breasts. As a result, there can be a delay in diagnosis for women with dense breast tissues. DBT enables the removal of overlapping tissue artifacts, especially in dense breasts, and offers better screening sensitivity. Thus, increased use of DBT for patients with dense breasts will fuel the demand for DBT equipment in the Diagnostic industry. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increase in the incidence of breast cancer among women, which has led to an increase in demand for imaging equipment such as breast tomosynthesis devices. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by the market is the lack of reimbursement policies for breast imaging through DBT for breast cancer diagnosis. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03. Scope of the Report 04. Market Research Methodology 05. Introduction 06. Market Landscape 07.
