Abstract:

Emerging Technologies and Expanded Applications of Existing Products Will Drive Market Growth

The use of molecular-based diagnostic solutions is expanding to other diseases. For example, the viral load monitoring and genotyping techniques that have increased the life expectancy of HIV-infected patients, have led to their emergence as valuable tools for the management of hepatitis C.

The market for molecular diagnostics includes an extensive list of innovative products and testing solutions. New developments such as gene sequencing and nucleic acid amplification have revolutionized the in vitro diagnostics industry. The future success of these companies depends on the speed at which they can find expanded applications for assays. Increasing insight into the ways in which genes influence a pathogen's response to therapy is ensuring tremendous growth in pharmacogenomics. Collaborations between diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies are expected to drive sales of both products.

This study examines the competitive factors in the dynamic U.S. molecular diagnostics market, and highlights the growth of the cancer diagnostics and pharmacogenomics sectors. Each challenge and strategy is described in detail, and industry trends have been evaluated through extensive interviews with industry participants.

Limited Reimbursements by Third-party Payers Obstruct Sales

The sale of novel diagnostic products is hampered by the lack of third-party reimbursements, since this dissuades healthcare professionals from investing in them. There is a significant gap from the date of approval of a new test to the implementation of acceptable reimbursement schedules. This results in higher product prices that affect sales. Also, funding organizations lack the incentive to increase reimbursement rates as long as the economic advantages of the newer tests over established procedures is unclear. To increase acceptance among the healthcare community, diagnostic manufacturers are compelled to offer their products at close to, or less than, cost prices. Since reimbursement rates are not keeping pace with costs, this is hindering the development and availability of FDA-approved testing solutions.

Flexibility and Sensitivity of Molecular Techniques Encourages Their Use as Diagnostics

Products based on molecular techniques enjoy increased sensitivity and specificity over traditional immunodiagnostic tests, says the analyst of this research service. Molecular-based diagnostics are finding increasing uses in genotyping, viral load monitoring, and single nucleotide polymorphism detection. This has led to molecular diagnostic products becoming vital components of disease prevention, management, and treatment.

Innovative molecular-based diagnostic solutions have provided healthcare professionals with valuable data unobtainable by other means. Current trends merge the benefits of assays and drugs, and allow them to work synergistically in the treatment of disease, adds the analyst. The implementation of nucleic acid testing reduces the time lag between infection and detection to half that taken by traditional immunoassays.

Additional Information

The following technologies are covered in this research:

Genotyping: Genotyping is a method of studying and monitoring the changes in genetic information, a genome-wide approach to gene mapping

Viral Load Monitoring: Viral load monitoring is a method of determining the concentration of virus in a patient’s blood

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP): SNP is a mutation event where a single DNA nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide

Molecular Diagnostics: Molecular Diagnostics are assays and tests that detect the DNA or RNA for diagnosis
