Global POC Diagnostics Market 2015-2019 - High Prevalence of Diabetes and Obesity & Rapid Adoption of POC Diagnostic Tests
M2 - Tue Mar 03, 8:19AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bngrb9/global_poc) has announced the addition of the "Global POC Diagnostics Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global POC Diagnostics market to grow at a CAGR of 8.47 percent over the period 2014-2019. POC diagnostics are IVD devices and tools used for diagnosing diseases in patients outside a clinical laboratory setting. The use of these devices helps in the rapid diagnosis of the medical conditions and aids in providing appropriate treatments and medication to patients. Rapid adoption of POC diagnostic tests is one of the key trends upcoming in this market. The use of POC diagnostics has been increasing over the past years as they provide rapid results and aid in immediate treatment decisions. This reduces the hospital stay of patients and delay in test results because of overcrowded emergency wards. According to the report, high prevalence of diabetes and obesity among patients worldwide is one major driver of the market. Unhealthy lifestyles and a lack of exercise result in a higher incidence of chronic diseases in people, which has increased the demand for POC diagnostics. Further, the report states that limitation of POC diagnostics is a major challenge that the market faces. The limited lifespan of the biomolecules and complications with quality control can restrict the use of POC diagnostics. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of POC diagnostics used in various applications: - Blood glucose testing - Infectious diseases testing - Cardiac markers testing - Coagulation testing - Pregnancy and fertility testing - Blood gas/electrolytes testing - Tumor markers testing - Urinalysis testing - Cholesterol testing Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Alere - Bayer Healthcare - Danaher - F.

Global Patient Temperature Management Market 2015-2019 - Increase in Number of Surgical Procedures because of Aging Population
M2 - Tue Mar 03, 5:39AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b8vzqn/global_patient) has announced the addition of the "Global Patient Temperature Management Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Global Patient Temperature Management market to grow at a CAGR of 7.74% over the period 2014-2019 This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Patient Temperature Management market for the period 2015-2019. The market can be segmented into two: Warming Devices and Cooling Devices. Approximately 16.40% of the world's population is above 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase to 18.70% by 2020. The elderly are more susceptible to traumatic injuries, arthritis, soft tissue inflammation, cardiac problems, obesity-related problems, and other chronic diseases. This, in turn, increases the demand for age-related surgeries. Since patients under anesthesia cannot regulate their body temperature, they are at risk for inadvertent hypothermia-related complications. According to the report, The launch of a new product from the R&D stage to commercialization is a very expensive process. Vendors make huge investments in R&D to gain market shares. Rapid developments in technology may result in the success or failure of a product during the R&D process. In addition, the long R&D and approval process may result in product obsolescence. Further, Leading vendors are opting for M&A to strengthen their global position and to increase their commercial capabilities. For instance, to achieve high economies of scale, Covidien and Medtronics entered into a partnership for US$42.90 billion in June 2014, ZOLL Medical acquired Philips InnerCool Temperature Management in November 2014, C.R. Bard acquired Medivance in 2011, Stryker acquired Gaymar Industries, and 3M Healthcare acquired Arizant Healthcare in 2010. These acquisitions result in wide product portfolios and, thus, have a positive effect on the growth of the market. Market Drivers/Challenge/Trend - Increase in Number of Surgical Procedures because of Aging Population - High R&D Expenses - Increase in M&A Key Vendors - 3M Healthcare - C. R. Bard - Smiths Medical - Stryker - ZOLL Medical Other Prominent Vendors - Augustine Temperature Management - Belmont Instrument - Charter Kontron - Cincinnati Sub-Zero (CSZ) Products - Ecolab - EMIT - Enthermics Medical Systems - GE Healthcare - Geratherm Medical - Healthcare 21 - Inditherm - Medtronic (Medtronic acquired Covidien) - Mennen Medical Group - Moeck und Moeck - Pintler Medical - The 37Company - Welkins For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b8...al_patient

Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2015 Edition
M2 - Mon Mar 02, 8:35AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rkdcc5/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Market Report: 2015 Edition" report to their offering. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new technology in the field of medical science. It is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic stenosis). It is sometimes also called transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aortic valve replacement typically requires open heart surgery, thus it disqualifies patients who are at high risk for the process or are too weak to undergo a surgery. As a result, the market of heart valve surgical procedures is witnessing a continuous decline as more and more patients requiring valve replacement are at risk for a surgical treatment. This shortcoming of the traditional surgical method has paved way for the popularity and adoption of TAVR. It was first commercially launched in Europe in 2007 and later in the United States. The market for TAVR is regarded to be promising with immense growth opportunities and unmet demand to cater to. The key factors which are anticipated to drive market growth include ageing population, healthcare expenditure, increasing obese population and gross domestic product apart from increasing prevalence of inoperable aortic stenosis. Some of the noteworthy developments of this industry include advancement in technologies and favorable reimbursement in Europe. However, the industry remains threatened by certain challenges which include regulatory issues, associated high risk and high cost of TAVR devices. This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the global TAVR market, along with an in-depth study of the TAVR procedures and the regional markets of the US, Europe and Japan. The global TAVR market is dominated by two major players, Edwards Lifesciences and Medtronic which operate in a highly dynamic environment working in the direction of tapping maximum market share. Both the companies in addition to St. Jude Medical have been profiled in the present report highlighting their key financials and business strategies for growth. Key Topics Covered: 1. Market Overview 2. TAVR Market Analysis 3. Market Dynamics 4. Competitive Landscape 5. Company Profiles 6.

Global POC Diagnostics Market 2015-2019 - High Prevalence of Diabetes and Obesity & Rapid Adoption of POC Diagnostic Tests
M2 - Tue Mar 03, 8:19AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bngrb9/global_poc) has announced the addition of the "Global POC Diagnostics Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global POC Diagnostics market to grow at a CAGR of 8.47 percent over the period 2014-2019. POC diagnostics are IVD devices and tools used for diagnosing diseases in patients outside a clinical laboratory setting. The use of these devices helps in the rapid diagnosis of the medical conditions and aids in providing appropriate treatments and medication to patients. Rapid adoption of POC diagnostic tests is one of the key trends upcoming in this market. The use of POC diagnostics has been increasing over the past years as they provide rapid results and aid in immediate treatment decisions. This reduces the hospital stay of patients and delay in test results because of overcrowded emergency wards. According to the report, high prevalence of diabetes and obesity among patients worldwide is one major driver of the market. Unhealthy lifestyles and a lack of exercise result in a higher incidence of chronic diseases in people, which has increased the demand for POC diagnostics. Further, the report states that limitation of POC diagnostics is a major challenge that the market faces. The limited lifespan of the biomolecules and complications with quality control can restrict the use of POC diagnostics. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of POC diagnostics used in various applications: - Blood glucose testing - Infectious diseases testing - Cardiac markers testing - Coagulation testing - Pregnancy and fertility testing - Blood gas/electrolytes testing - Tumor markers testing - Urinalysis testing - Cholesterol testing Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Alere - Bayer Healthcare - Danaher - F.

Global Patient Temperature Management Market 2015-2019 - Increase in Number of Surgical Procedures because of Aging Population
M2 - Tue Mar 03, 5:39AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b8vzqn/global_patient) has announced the addition of the "Global Patient Temperature Management Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Global Patient Temperature Management market to grow at a CAGR of 7.74% over the period 2014-2019 This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Patient Temperature Management market for the period 2015-2019. The market can be segmented into two: Warming Devices and Cooling Devices. Approximately 16.40% of the world's population is above 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase to 18.70% by 2020. The elderly are more susceptible to traumatic injuries, arthritis, soft tissue inflammation, cardiac problems, obesity-related problems, and other chronic diseases. This, in turn, increases the demand for age-related surgeries. Since patients under anesthesia cannot regulate their body temperature, they are at risk for inadvertent hypothermia-related complications. According to the report, The launch of a new product from the R&D stage to commercialization is a very expensive process. Vendors make huge investments in R&D to gain market shares. Rapid developments in technology may result in the success or failure of a product during the R&D process. In addition, the long R&D and approval process may result in product obsolescence. Further, Leading vendors are opting for M&A to strengthen their global position and to increase their commercial capabilities. For instance, to achieve high economies of scale, Covidien and Medtronics entered into a partnership for US$42.90 billion in June 2014, ZOLL Medical acquired Philips InnerCool Temperature Management in November 2014, C.R. Bard acquired Medivance in 2011, Stryker acquired Gaymar Industries, and 3M Healthcare acquired Arizant Healthcare in 2010. These acquisitions result in wide product portfolios and, thus, have a positive effect on the growth of the market.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new technology in the field of medical science. It is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic stenosis). It is sometimes also called transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aortic valve replacement typically requires open heart surgery, thus it disqualifies patients who are at high risk for the process or are too weak to undergo a surgery. As a result, the market of heart valve surgical procedures is witnessing a continuous decline as more and more patients requiring valve replacement are at risk for a surgical treatment. This shortcoming of the traditional surgical method has paved way for the popularity and adoption of TAVR. It was first commercially launched in Europe in 2007 and later in the United States. The market for TAVR is regarded to be promising with immense growth opportunities and unmet demand to cater to. The key factors which are anticipated to drive market growth include ageing population, healthcare expenditure, increasing obese population and gross domestic product apart from increasing prevalence of inoperable aortic stenosis. Some of the noteworthy developments of this industry include advancement in technologies and favorable reimbursement in Europe. However, the industry remains threatened by certain challenges which include regulatory issues, associated high risk and high cost of TAVR devices. This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the global TAVR market, along with an in-depth study of the TAVR procedures and the regional markets of the US, Europe and Japan.
