The biochip industry is in the early stages of growth and hence, not only promises potential but also is susceptible to vagaries of market forces. Competition, patent disputes, knowledge constraints (in terms of skilled employees, technical know-how) and financial strength might be a few impediments for firms engaged in this industry. A promising market arises from three factors – an aging population, third party reimbursement and a growing number of individuals suffering from common chronic diseases. Biochips would certainly evolve in terms of physical, technical characteristics, and with focus on miniaturization of assays, they would turn smaller and more powerful with each generation. The industry is characterized by both intense rivalry and equally well-developed web of alliances. These and other market data and trends are presented in “Biochips: A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities” by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
