Abstract
Parts of the gene expression analysis market continue to develop in a somewhat
predictable manner, whereas other segments are becoming increasingly complex
and volatile. The main products- microarrays and RT-PCR- continue to gain
widespread acceptance and to see revenues grow rapidly. However, different
products and applications are increasingly being introduced, making the market
more fragmented as well as unpredictable. In terms of application, too, the
landscape is shifting. Although life-science research is still the dominant
application, the clinical diagnostics and prognostics market is also becoming
a reality.
This new study on the gene expression analysis market reviews the major technologies being employed,
including:
- Alternative Splicing; Splice Variant Microarrays
- Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE)
- Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH)
- ChIP-on-chip
- DNA Microarrays
- Gene Trapping
- Methylation, Other Epigenetic Analysis
- MicroRNA
- Real-time PCR (RT-PCR)
- RNAse Protection Assays
- Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE)
- Tissue Arrays / Microarrays
- Transcript Analysis with Affinity Capture (TRAC)
In addition to comprehensive review of the products on the market from the
major suppliers, each of the main applications of gene expression technologies
is also reviewed, including:
- Biomarkers,
- Pharmacogenetics / Pharmacogenomics,
- Infectious Disease Research,
- Cancer Diagnostics and Prognostics, and
- Diagnosis and Prognosis of Other Diseases
The report provides a complete analysis of the market, including historical
data on the market for RT-PCR and microarrays, instruments, and reagents. The
report also forecasts revenues through 2012 in the segment and provides growth
rates for each of the coming years, a complete regional breakdown of revenues,
and revenue detail on the dominant player by region. A thorough competitive
analysis includes revenue and market share of the top vendors.
Detailed profiles of the following competitors are also included:
- Affymetrix
- Agilent Technologies
- Applied Biosystems
- Beckman Coulter
- Combimatrix
- Illumina
- Roche Applied Science
Gene Expression Profiling Markets also details the business, regulatory,
academic, and research trends in the market, providing comprehensive
information on consortia, standardization efforts, and scores of recent deals
in the sector.
