Breakthrough Technologies with Automated Platforms Spur Growth of Molecular Diagnostics Industry

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The growth of diagnostics industry has been spurred by a continuing need of seeking fast, accurate and cheaper diagnostics tests. The technological breakthroughs with an increasing trend towards the automated platforms are driving the growth of molecular diagnostics industry, however, high amounts of investment needed for developing such systems remains a constraint for manufacturers.

Frost & Sullivan (http://www.technicalinsights.frost.com) finds that technologies like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA Microarrays with emerging ones like Transrenal DNA, Nano-JETA platforms are driving the growth of Molecular Diagnostics industry with key applications in the area of infectious diseases and oncology.

"A continuing need for real-time, faster, more sensitive, less labour-intensive and hence, more cost-effective molecular diagnostic solutions that can replace or complement traditional methods is driving the growth of this industry," notes Frost & Sullivan senior research analyst Sachin Thukral.

The development of automated and highly breakthrough systems for molecular diagnostics helps in decreasing demand for labor and lowering the cost per assay, at the same time enabling laboratories to process higher volumes of samples.

However, one of the biggest challenges to be addressed by Molecular Diagnostics Industry is of automated sample handling where systems need to be optimized and developed for high-volume production capabilities.

"Such high-volume production capabilities certainly ask for significant amounts of investment and a lot of players in this industry working on such platforms find it quite challenging to invest such amounts of money," explains Thukral.

The manufacturers need to aggressively promote the advantages of such systems to the industry be it in terms of speed, accuracy, or cost. This will help them in attracting funding from government bodies, venture capitalists or other funding agencies.
