M2 PressWIRE
October 26, 2010

October 26, 2010 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2f5149/biomems_2010_micr) has announced the addition of the "BioMEMS 2010: Microsystems Devices Driving Healthcare Applications" report to their offering. New in-vitro diagnostic systems, new therapy strategies, genetic disease treatment, targeted and intelligent drug delivery, artificial pancreas, drug discovery processes are healthcare improvements promised to future generations. Many challenges are related to miniaturization, which will probably be enabled by Semiconductor and Microsystem technologies.

The Healthcare industry faces critical technical and economic challenges to develop these new technologies. The innovation process of the future starts, by understanding the current technologies, their limits and advantages, and especially how the healthcare industry applies them. The BioMEMS 2010 report is a robust analysis of the Micro Devices with the most advances to develop solutions for vital bio-medical applications. The devices considered are: - Pressure sensors - Silicon microphones - Accelerometers - Gyroscopes - Optical MEMS and Image sensors - Microfluidic chips - Microdispensers for drug delivery - Flow meters - Infrared temperature sensors - Emerging MEMS (RFID, Strain sensors, Energy Harvesting) Also addressed are the Regulation Aspects for medical device development. The report includes a section dedicated to BioMEMS activities in China. For the past 5 years, lots of start-up biotechnology companies have launched in the Chinese market. In addition, large Biochip companies are expanding and exporting, such as CapitalBio, Health-Digital and Shanghai Biochip. MARKET The microsystem technologies market for healthcare applications will grow from $ 1.2 B in 2009 to $ 4.5 B in 2015, representing over 1 B units per year in 2015. In the Meanwhile wireless systems will exceed 50% market share. The medical home care market defined as prescribed home care medical devices is not expected to explode before 2015 but will increase by 125%. This is due to the fact that most medical instruments are lent or rented, and not purchased by the patient. Consumer, over the counter products, and sport/fitness equipment do not fall under the scope of this analysis.
