Molecular Diagnostics Market: Trends and Opportunities -- A New Report by Koncept Analytics

July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Molecular diagnostics or the analysis of DNA and RNA at the molecular level - is a fast-growing market, driven by the growing understanding of the human genome. Although a small part of the In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) market, molecular diagnostics market is one of the two growth drivers of the IVD industry.

In the decision making process of healthcare experts, diagnostics tests have a major influence. Diagnostics tests are a very small percentage cost of medical expenditures but generally accounts for 60-70% of all treatment decisions. And with the advent of molecular diagnostics, there is a growing focus on diagnostics for early detection of diseases.

Molecular diagnostics holds immense business potential as it is based on the intention of identifying viruses and infectious diseases more accurately at an earlier stage than currently possible. Molecular diagnostics has also emerged as a potential business opportunity as diagnostics businesses generally fetch higher returns of investment than pharmaceutical and other biotech businesses.

The molecular diagnostics industry is growing on the path of continuous innovation and changing technological base and this is creating new opportunities and applications. The major factors that will drive the growth of this industry includes the increasing incidences of various chronic diseases, increasing number of cases of hepatitis B and tuberculosis and the availability of various molecular diagnostics tests.  Molecular diagnostics or MDx is the fastest growing segment of the IVD market, also because of the innovation in the industry resulting in the advent of new technologies for genetic testing, faster screening and more precise detection.
