Abstract
Despite eight years of research and development, and program implementation,
at a cost of more than $49.7 million (in the US alone), virtually all
significant targets are as vulnerable to biological warfare today as they were
in September 2001.
In the words of President Obama: "Just as we must guard against the spread of
nuclear terrorism, it' s time for a comprehensive effort to tackle bio-terror.
we know that the successful deployment of a biological weapon - whether it
is sprayed into our cities or spread through our food supply - could kill
tens of thousands of Americans and deal a crushing blow to our economy."
Homeland Security Research Corporation (HSRC) forecasts that, led by the US,
Germany, France, China, Japan and India, the cumulative global bio-detection
market (systems, service and upgrades and R&D) will grow from $2.3 billion in
2009 to $4.9 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of 16%.
Developed using HSRC' s tested methodology, the report delves into:
- Global market by expenditure segments: systems, upgrade and service
segments
- Global market by technology generation: first, second and third
- Global market by installation segments: indoor, outdoor, hand-held and
mobile labs
- Leading global bio-security projects
- Current and pipeline technologies: e.gadvanced collectors-concentrators,
reagent-less triggers, DNA-based diagnostics, antigen/anti-body methods,
signal analysis algorithms
- Competitive analysis: e.g. barriers to entry, barriers to substitution,
competitive rivalry
- Regional market Analysis : e.g. USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy,
Singapore, Spain China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Middle East
- Business opportunities: e.g. emerging threats, human and animal sentinel
surveillance, reagent-less detection assays, IC3
- Market drivers and inhibitors: i.e. government fears and government funds,
inadequate detection technologies, strong public and media support for
bio-defense
