Abstract
Limited Data Analysis Capabilities Restrict Research Progress
Interpretation of research done on the various fields of life sciences is
currently hampered by inadequate data analysis tools. As throughput increases
and applications expand, so will the need for automated data analysis.
Researchers continue to conduct complex studies to unearth high volumes of
information and attain their research goals. Therefore, participants in the mass
spectrometry (MS) market must work closely with the researchers and develop
highly accurate MS instruments and enhance current offerings to cater to
ever-growing research needs.
This Frost & Sullivan study examines the world market for different types
of MS-based life science tools. Some of the tools analyzed in this research
include: matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF)
MS, Fourier-transform MS (FTMS), triple quad MS, electro spray ionization TOF (ESI-TOF)
MS, quadrupole-TOF(Q-TOF) MS, and ion trap MS.
New Application Areas Increase Demand for Mass Spectrometers
Proteomics and relatively new metabolomics are two of the application areas
making giant strides and this is driving the MS market. Innovative
findings/results continue to emerge as researchers seek answers to many
unanswered questions in the proteomics arena.
"Many researchers are in fact shifting their focus from genomics to
proteomics. This post-genomic era signified by the growing importance of
metabolomics research is spurring the placement of new MS instruments,"
says the analyst. "Pharmacokinetics has also become a key driving force, as
the compelling need to fill dry pipelines encourages continuous research and, in
turn, the demand for mass spectrometers."
Prolific Spending by Research Facilities Drives Growth
The price range of MS systems - especially the new, advanced equipment -
hovers around the $1 million mark. However, academic institutions and smaller
research facilities are undeterred by such huge prices. Indeed, they are
channeling more funds to procure these superior systems in an effort to generate
the most informative data and be on par with large research centers.
"The fact that even academic and smaller research institutions are
willing to pay premium price for procuring sophisticated equipment is a major
driving factor for the MS and consumables market," says the analyst.
"The inclination of researchers toward innovation and the drive to create
highly efficacious solutions continues to provide fresh opportunities for new
entrants, though many giants are present in this well-established market,"
she concludes.
