Abstract
With over 325 commercial suppliers of antibodies, selecting just the right
antibody company brings to mind the famous lock and key analogy of
antibody-antigen binding-how do scientists find the perfect match?
BioInformatics LLC surveyed nearly 1,000 life scientists worldwide about the
types of catalog antibodies that they use and their opinions of commercial
suppliers.
Building upon the best-selling 2004 market research report, The Market for
Antibodies: Keys to Success for Commercial Suppliers, this 2006 report
compares trends over time against the 2004 report, as well as providing
additional analyses. This report will help suppliers better understand how
their antibodies are used and what types of product their customers need by
scientific application. In addition, segmentation analysis and trend
comparisons will allow suppliers to understand how the antibodies market is
changing and what important differences exist between segments. Market growth
data, based on changes since the 2004 report and anticipated future needs,
will allow suppliers to track the market performance and project future sales.
This report will help suppliers understand their competitive position,
validate their own internal market share estimates, and provide the basis for

better understand their strengths and weaknesses as compared to their
competitors and gauge their brand's overall performance in the antibodies
market.
