Market Overview

Mass Spectrometry Gains Increasing Importance in Clinical Applications as a Key Identification Tool

Over the span of the century, applications of mass spectrometry (MS) have expanded significantly. The primary focus of these applications has been clinical and molecular research. The elucidation of the human genetic code has created a portal through which the human body can be more accurately explored. In providing a powerful tool for this ongoing research, the MS industry has gained considerable importance. Aware of the technological potential within this steadily growing market, funding from public and private sources have soared. There is now a rising interest in integrating technologies. For instance, bio-informatics and protein biochip technologies coupled with MS are expanding in a phenomenal way across European markets. This is primarily due to the clarity and quantification of the results obtained. MS has been the primary identification tool for today’s researchers in analysing proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, DNA, drugs, and many other biologically relevant molecules.

"The European MS markets will be driven by the ongoing implementation of competitive strategies, including the hybridisation of existing spectrometric techniques (Tandem MS) for accurate throughput results," notes the analyst of this research. "In the clinical diagnostic sector, areas such as biomarker identification and automated genotyping have exhibited a phenomenal increase in the usage of hybrid MS instruments." Currently, Tandem MS is the most powerful tool in the identification of peptides and proteins for proteomics and drug discovery research. With higher resolution and accuracy standards being of prime importance for researchers and physicians, hybrid MS systems offer a potential strategy to attain greater market presence.

Technology Advances, Widening Application Base Bolster Prospects of MS Markets

Even though the European MS markets have reached a stage of maturity, they are still highly competitive with technological advances, mounting awareness of their role in clinical diagnostics and a widening application base set to promote the uptake of MS instruments. Manufacturers have to anticipate future market trends and the requirements of researchers and introduce solutions accordingly. "New applications applying mass spectrometry as an analytical tool continue to emerge, leading to expanded market potential and growth," observes the analyst. "With novel technologies being introduced into the global analytical instrumentation industry, more powerful and faster mass spectrometers catering to a wide range of applications have started attracting laboratory researchers and research-oriented organisations."

To succeed in this market, companies should form favourable partnerships, alliances or undertake mergers and acquisitions. Owing to the rising R&D investments in life sciences and bioinstrumentation, market participants stand to benefit by merging or partnering with other companies, thereby reducing their expenditure. Other advantages of this strategy include an exchange of basic technology, building a broader customer base together with a stronger sales and distribution network.
