Abstract
The Bio-Detection markets present some of the fastest growing and vibrant
markets in the Homeland Security industry. This research forecasts a 96% CAGR
for 3rd-generation Bio-Detection technologies revenues between 2008 and 2012,
which translates to an 80% market share for these technologies in 2012. The
rapid growth for these 3rd generation technologies will coincide with a fast
decline of 1st & 2nd -generation homeland security Bio-Detector markets which
are forecasted to collapse at -20% CAGR. The growth of the 3rd generation
technologies will result from the premium bio- agent selectivity, sensitivity
and fast response coupled with a dramatic reduction in use of expensive
reagents that these technologies are expected to provide.
HSRC's team of scientists and industry executives meticulously researched and
analyzed each of the 4 modalities of bio-detection:
- Outdoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors (e.g., project BioWatch)
- Indoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors (e.g., Project BDS - U.S. Post Office)
- Emergency Responder Biological Mobile Labs
- Emergency Responder Biological Hand-Held Detectors
For each modality, the research provides a detailed analysis and forecast for
3 generations of technologies, providing for 12 the market segments that will
make up this industry for the next 5 years.
For each of the 12 market segments, the research provides the following:
- Present & Next Generation Technologies - present technologies analysis and
an in depth analysis of Bio-Detection candidates of next generation
technologies
- Current and upcoming business opportunities -14 specific business
opportunities outlined and analyzed
- 2007-2012 Market forecasts- Various and detailed forecasts including
install base and annual sales in units and dollars, for the next 6 years
- 2007-2012 Service and upgrade business - 6 year forecasts of the service
and equipment installation and upgrade business, which are the main source of
gross margin for this industry
