Emerging Drug Discovery Technologies: Building Competitive Advantage Through Lab-on-a-Chip, Nanotechnology and RNAi
DUBLIN, Ireland, May 6 /PRNewswire/ — Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c17061 ) has announced the addition of Emerging Drug Discovery Technologies: Building competitive advantage through lab-on-a-chip, nanotechnology and RNAi to their offering.
Emerging Drug Discovery Technologies: Building competitive advantage through lab-on-a-chip, nanotechnology and RNAi, is a new report which provides an in-depth analysis of three technological innovations that are being heralded to revolutionize the drug discovery process by rapidly expediting drug discovery research. This report focuses on lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices, nanotechnology and RNA interference drug discovery technologies that are increasingly being used to identify novel drug targets and to successfully reduce R&D timelines.
This report also provides:
- In-depth analysis of the market forces
- Current and future technological advances
- Detailed company profiles
- Eight year forecasts of market size for LOC devices, nanotechnology in drug discovery and RNA interference technologies and therapeutics
Key Findings of the Report:
- The markets for LOC devices, nanotechnology, and RNAi technologies and therapeutics are set to experience phenomenal growth rates, driven by novel product developments and new market entrants.
- The nanotechnology market is forecast to reach $955m by 2012, a CAGR (2004-2012) of 28.3%, while the LOC/microfluidics market is projected to generate sales of $1,530m in 2012, a CAGR of 35.5%. The larger RNAi market is predicted to be worth $1.1bn in 2012, although its CAGR is lower at 16.1%.
- Some of the major factors driving growth and expansion of the LOC device market include: high throughput screening, increased automation, reduction in sample requirement, reduced exposure to hazardous materials, and the increased rate at which potential drug targets are screened.
- At an embryonic stage of development, nano-enabled drugs are already bringing clinical benefits to thousands of patients. Two examples are Abraxane for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, and RenaZorb, which provides phosphate control in kidney dialysis patients
- The resolution of several patent and licensing disputes, which threatened to halt the growth and expansion of the RNAi field, is now allowing more companies to enter the RNAi field. This is expected to further boost RNAi market growth in the future.
Key questions answered in this report
