DUBLIN, November 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Biosensors for Point-of-Care Testing: Technologies, Applications, Forecasts 2017-2027" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The report predicts that point-of-care biosensors will become a $33 billion market by 2027, with molecular diagnostic devices the main driver for this growth.

Biosensors are used to detect and quantify biological material associated with a disease state or health condition (biomarkers). Biosensors are therefore powerful tools for diagnosis and monitoring. As technological advances allow for such tests to be conducted faster and on smaller devices, these tests are moving out of specialised laboratories and closer to the patient at the point-of-care.

This report gives a complete analysis of the important trends in the field of medical biosensors, and lists the new technologies and devices which are likely to be highly disruptive to the in vitro diagnostics market.

Molecular diagnostics driving future growth

By definition, biosensors are formed of both biological and physical components. The biological component (bioreceptor) has the ability to recognise a biomarker. Binding between the biomarker and bioreceptor is converted into a readable signal by a transducer.

Glucose has been a very common biomarker to target because of its importance for diabetes management. Glucose test strips are the most common point-of-care biosensors on the market today.

However, the next step is direct DNA testing, which is commonly known as molecular diagnostics. It is already possible to perform DNA tests but these tends to be slow, and require highly trained personnel in laboratories. There is now effort to move DNA testing closer to the patient at the point-of-care. This trend is enabled by several advances in technologies includingdevice miniaturization and rapid nucleic acid amplification techniques.

Full analysis of all commercial applications

Medical biosensors can diagnose a wealth of diseases and health conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, infectious diseases and cancer. Increasingly, biosensors are also being used to achieve targeted therapies in precision medicine and increase the efficacy of drugs through pharmacogenomics.

This report is the first to comprehensively look at all commercial applications for point-of-care biosensors. It gives you a complete picture of the types of biosensors, the key players on the market and the emerging technologies.
