The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the biosensors market begins with obtaining data on key vendor revenues through secondary research. Some of the secondary sources referred to for this research include information from various journals and databases such as IEEE journals, Factiva, Hoovers, and OneSource. The vendor offerings have also been taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure has been employed to arrive at the overall size of the biosensors market from the revenues of the key players in the market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments, which have then been verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews of officials holding key positions in the industry such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The market breakdown and data triangulation procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of the profiles of primaries has been depicted in the figure below.

The biosensors market was valued at USD 15.96 Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 27.06 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 8.84% during the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed to the continuous technological advancements in the biosensors ecosystem, increase in the use of biosensors for nonmedical applications, lucrative growth in POC diagnostics, and rise in the demand for glucose monitoring systems.

In this report, the biosensors market has been segmented on the basis of application, technology, product, and geography. In 2016, POC applications accounted for the largest share of the overall biosensors market. The development of accurate and rapid testing kits is contributing to the growth of the biosensors market for POC applications.

Among wearable biosensors, wristwear biosensors accounted for the largest size of the biosensors market in 2016. Wristwear devices for fitness and wellness such as smart watches and wrist bands are already available in the market and are gaining popularity. These devices include  smart watches and wrist bands. Constant technological innovations, easy-to-use user interface, real-time health monitoring, and cost effectiveness are the major factors driving the market for wristwear applications.

The market for optical biosensors is expected to grow at a rate between 2017 and 2022. Optical biosensors are commonly used to analyze biomolecular interactions as these sensors can determine affinity and kinetics of a wide variety of molecular interactions in real time, without requiring a molecular tag or label. New applications are being discovered for optical sensors such as drug discovery, including target identification, ligand fishing, assay development, and manufacturing quality control. All these factors are responsible for the highest growth of the market for optical sensors between 2017 and 2022.

North America is likely to hold the largest share of the overall biosensors market in 2017. POC diagnostics is the fastest-growing applications for biosensors in North America. The main reason behind the growth of the POC segment is the increase in addressable patient population base. The increase in the waiver of Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) for certain POC diagnostic devices such as coagulation, glucose monitoring, and hematology devices is further driving the growth of the biosensors market in North America.

According to International Diabetes Federation, the number of people suffering from diabetes is expected to grow from 415 million in 2015 to almost 642 million by 2040 worldwide; this would increase the demand for biosensors used for monitoring glucose. The emergence of the nanobiosensors, rapid technological advancements in the biosensors ecosystem, growing demand for glucose monitoring systems, and rising demand for home-based POC devices are driving the growth of the biosensors market.

The high cost incurred in the research and development and slow rate of commercialization are key factors inhibiting the growth of the biosensors market. Also, stringent government regulations pose a key challenge for industry players.

Some of the major players operating in the biosensors market are Abbott Point of Care Inc. (US), Medtronic, Inc. (US), F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (Switzerland), Siemens AG (Germany), LifeScan, Inc. (US), LifeSensors Inc. (US), Nova Biomedical Corp. (US), Acon Laboratories Inc. (US), Universal Biosensors (Australia), Pharmaco-Kinesis Corporation (PKC) (US), Bayer Healthcare AG (Germany), Biacore (UK), Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. (US), Biosensors International Ltd. (Singapore), Ercon, Inc. (US), DuPont (US), and Sysmex Corporation (Japan).
