Analytical Standards Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising public concerns related to optimal food safety & quality
To check for adulteration and ensure food safety, techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrometry are extensively used by food testing laboratories. Spectroscopy and chromatography are the most commonly applied analytical techniques in quality testing and quality control of food. GC/MS and LC/MS/MS techniques are gaining recognition as highly specific and extremely sensitive techniques testing food products with high accuracy. Moreover, the government implements strict regulations to ensure food safety in the respective countries. Additionally, the research institutes collaborate with key market players to use their advanced product offerings to ensure food safety. Food safety has been prioritized by concerned authorities due to growing concerns over food contamination and food adulteration, thus driving the growth of the analytical testing market
Restraint: Limited public awareness related to effective pollution monitoring strategies
The increasing pollution levels lead to various respiratory infections, respiratory diseases, allergic reactions, and cancer. High sulfur dioxides levels can affect functioning of lung, aggravate existing heart disease and worsen asthma attacks. Similarly, carbon dioxide is considered a potentially inhaled toxicant which may lead to coma, convulsions, acidosis, CNS depression, or even death. Environmental degradation also results in serious environmental changes such as reduced crop yields, changes in weather patterns, and the greenhouse effect.
Governments are taking initiatives in various regions, to improve air quality, focusing on promoting power plants that use clean and renewable fuels; promoting public transport, walking, and cycling; and improving the energy efficiency of homes, buildings, and facilities (both commercial and manufacturing). However, there is limited awareness about governments' initiatives.
Opportunity: Improving healthcare infrastructure across emerging countries
The increasing R&D initiatives in the emerging countries and growing prevalence of infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis, leads to develop innovative genomic techniques in developing nations for efficient disease diagnosis. Across emerging markets (particularly in China and India) several initiatives have been undertaken by the government to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and expand it. During the forecast period, emerging markets are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to clinical microbiology product manufacturers and distributors. The growth in these markets is further supported by increasing availability and affordability of low-cost clinical microbiology products, growing healthcare expenditure, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure.
Challenge: Patent expiry of major drugs and biomolecules
Generic drug have to meet the same regulatory standards as of the innovator drug if their versions are identical or bioequivalent to a patented drug in their performance. Good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations of the regulatory authorities have to be complied by the generic drug manufacturers. This is expected to aid the growth of the analytical standards market across the globe. Before their existing drugs lose their patent protection, key drug manufacturers tend to develop new drugs and expand the existing drugs in the market for patent approval. Such activities, with different analytical techniques, require extensive research process.
