Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The overview of media and sera-and their composition-and the use of reagents
in the field of biotechnology is also examined along with sale figures over
the 5-year period from 2006 to 2011. Companies selling these products are
profiled, and the factors affecting markets for these products, and how those
markets are likely to change, are analyzed.
Our key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current market
and the future direction of media, sera and reagents used in biotechnology,
with an emphasis on newer products.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- An overview and analysis of the major types of media, sera and reagents
used in biotechnology
- Global market forecasts for the industry, including current and historical
data as well as 5-year market projections to 2011
- Review of the latest trends in technology, the latest important
discoveries, and ideas and estimates for the future
- A detailed analysis of important patents within the past several decades
- Company profiles for the major industry players.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive literature and patent search was conducted. The literature
included technical newsletters and journals, as well as other sources. The
data was collected through interviews with various pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies. Data from these first-hand and second-hand sources
were compiled and the projections were based on such estimates as the current
number of end-users, potential end-users, likely unit prices, rates of
consumption and the market trends.
