DNA Sequencing Equipment and Services Markets, 2nd Edition

Abstract

Since the last edition of Kalorama Information' s DNA Sequencing Equipment and Services report, the market has been changing in unpredictable ways as second-generation sequencers are being incrementally introduced and upgraded. On the surface, the situation has become somewhat linear and predictable, but as Kalorama Information biotech analyst Justin Saeks explains, it is actually a unique and relatively volatile situation that is not seen often with life science tools markets. Third-generation systems have the potential to completely change the market, or to simply join the pack.

Revenue growth has been unusually high, and all of the trends seem to indicate that growth will continue in the near term. It is likely that completely new technologies will be introduced at least every year or two, while second-generation sequencer improvements also continue. In Kalorama Information biotech analyst Justin Saek' s 2nd edition of DNA Sequencing Equipment and Services Markets, these changes are detailed and put in context, along with the following:

• DNA Sequencer Revenues by Industry and by Leading Systems
• Forecast of Sequencer Revenues to 2014
