Piribo: 2007 The Worldwide Biochip & Equipment Market, new publication announcement

This report provides a broad review of the dynamic worldwide biochip business. Biochips are becoming more diverse and customers from North America, Europe and Asia are demanding these products. The products from the biochip market are being used to help accelerate the research processes and capabilities of bio-pharmaceutical drug discovery, diagnostics and basic academic medical research.

In recent history, the big pharma companies have suffered increasing R&D costs while their actual output of new drugs has declined. Drug companies needed to look outside of their companies to find drug products faster. As a result, pharma companies have increasingly become motivated research and financial partners with many biotechnology companies. Pharma companies also want to become customers and partners of biochip companies because these companies have technologies that might help them become more productive faster.

Concepts such as pharmacogenomics and targeted therapies have become accepted ideas by government regulators. Roche and Affymetrix were the first to receive FDA clearance for a biochip-based molecular diagnostic test and instrument system.

Basic academic research is helping too. Accelerating the drug making process requires modern industrialization of R&D by using genomics and proteomics technologies such as biochips that the biotechnology companies provide.

This report discusses these important topics with interesting findings. New data is presented that calculates that the total biochip market size is projected to grow to about $4 billion in 2010 with a CAGR of 12.1%. It reviewed the activities of 26 companies. This report uses more than 60 figures and tables to illustrate the findings. This report features 5 at-a-glance tables at the start of each biochip section to help the reader zoom into details quickly.
