Blood Glucose Testing and Diabetes Management Study 2015
M2 - Tue Feb 02, 10:36AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m5ttq8/blood_glucose) has announced the addition of the "Blood Glucose Testing and Diabetes Management" report to their offering. The report has made a survey of selected companies marketing, manufacturing or developing various blood glucose testing and diabetes management supplies throughout the world. Each company is discussed in extensive depth with a section on its history, product line, business and marketing analysis, and a subjective commentary of the company's market position. Detailed tables and charts with sales forecasts and market share data are also included. There has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes worldwide, which has been exacerbated by the growing obesity problem across the globe. Once thought of as primarily a childhood disease - sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes, now mostly Type 1 diabetes - the obesity crisis linked to the adoption of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate, high-calorie American diet has resulted in skyrocketing rates of diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes, among adults across the world. As such, the global market for blood glucose testing products is undergoing a significant transition driven by the advent of new analytical technologies and developments in diabetes treatment. Although the blood glucose testing segment of the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry is mature, certain segments of the market, such as home testing devices for diabetes management, will exhibit strong growth. What's more, non-invasive testing now represents a major new area for the application of IVD testing. Additionally, direct access testing - or over-the-counter testing, which allows consumers to order tests themselves without visiting a doctor - has emerged as a strong force in the blood glucose testing segment. The purpose of this report is to describe the specific market segments for blood glucose testing and diabetes management. This study reviews all of the generally-accepted clinical analytical methods that are currently in use today for measuring serum or plasma or whole-blood glucose concentrations. Moreover, it examines clinical measurement devices, reagents and supplies as utilized in hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices and at-home care locations. Key Topics Covered: 1. Overview 2.

Portable oxygen concentrator market size at $744 million in 2014 is expected grow to $2.2 billion by 2021. Market growth is a result of the aging of the population and the increased need for oxygen. Major factors driving the market for portable oxygen concentrators include its ability to provide oxygen under all circumstances. The worldwide aging population. An increase in the number of people with COPD and other respiratory diseases. Advantages of portable oxygen concentrator devices are that they weigh less, are easy to use. They are affordable. The complexion of the home oxygen market is changing. Home oxygen markets have been predicated on a dealer infrastructure. These dealers get reimbursed for regular deliveries of liquid oxygen used for supplemental oxygen so the patient can go out, buy groceries, go to the movies, and visit family for a short time. The advent of reliable, inexpensive portable home oxygen concentrators has changed the market dynamic significantly. No longer do patients need regular deliveries of liquid oxygen for supplemental purposes so the patient can go out. Now, the patient just uses one device at home and while out of the home. The economics of the medical oxygen market have been changing for a long time. CMS Medicare and the private insurers that follow their lead have been resisting paying for supplemental liquid oxygen because the price of truck rolls is too high. With lowered reimbursement, the dealer distribution network that has been in place for many years is no longer tenable.

Global Bio-detection (1st, 2nd & 3rd Generation) Market 2014-2018 with Agilent Technologies, Cepheid, Roche Diagnostics & Smiths Group Dominating
M2 - Sat Jan 31, 1:02AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n5mnwh/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Bio-detection Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Bio-detection market to grow at a CAGR of 14.19% over the period 2013-2018. Bio-detection has emerged as a solution to the public and governments. With an increase in bio-terrorism, the occurrence of illness and deaths is very frequent. This event is caused by the airborne chemicals or pathogens that are released by a terrorist or a group of people or even by an individual for a motive. These pathogens can be detected by a system called bio-detection, which signals the entry or the existence of a virus. The increasing attacks have brought a major concern to the public as well as governments. Attacks such as the 2001 Anthrax scare, the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the 2004 Ricin letters, the 2009 H1N1, and the 2014 Ebola outbreaks have driven governments to increase their bio-surveillance budgets. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales, services, and upgrades of the bio-detection system in the Government sector. The increased need for bio-security is one of the major trends witnessed in the market. The increase in bio-terrorist attacks has increased the need for bio-security systems that secure people from pathogen attacks and reduce the risk of disease transmission to others. According to the report, the need for an early detection system for bio-terrorist attacks is one of the major drivers in the market. The existing bio-detection systems take a long time to detect and confirm the presence of a virus, and this can be fatal. Therefore, research is being conducted to introduce fast detection systems. Further, the report states that difficulty in detecting the presence of pathogens is one of the major challenges in the market. The minute presence of pathogens in air, water, and food makes it difficult to detect, and hence the detectors show a negative result. The bio-detection systems considered in this report are listed below: - 1st generation bio-detection systems - 2nd generation bio-detection systems - 3rd generation bio-detection systems Key Vendors - Agilent Technologies - Cepheid - Roche Diagnostics - Smiths Group Other Prominent Vendors - 20/20 GeneSystems - 3M Microbiology - Advnt Biotechnologies - Alexeter Technologies - ANP Technologies - BAS - Biological Alarm Systems - BD Biosciences Immunocytometry Systems - Bertin Technologies - Biodefense - BioDETECT - BioSentinel Pharmaceuticals - BioTraces - BioVeris - Commonwealth Biotechnologies - Dycor Technologies - Environics - Evogen - General Dynamics Canada - GenPrime - Groton Biosystems - Haztech Systems - JMAR Technologies - New Horizons Diagnostics - Proengin - Response Biomedical - Tetracore For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n5mnwh/global
