Biosensors are integrated devices, which are capable of providing analytical information using biological samples. They are used to identify the structure and function of molecules, such as DNA and protein, and for medical diagnosis. Biosensors are largely employed in applications such as disease monitoring, drug discovery, disease-causing micro-organisms, and markers that are indicators of a disease in body fluids such as blood, urine, saliva, and sweat.
Statistics:
The global biosensors market is estimated to account for US$ 43,073.2 Mn in terms of by the end of 2027.
Global Biosensors Market: Drivers
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel growth of the global biosensors market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the study, “Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition”, published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, in September 2019, 463 million people are expected to suffer from diabetes in 2019 worldwide and the number is expected to reach 578 million by 2030 and 700 million by 2045.
Moreover, increasing geriatric population is also expected to boost demand for biosensors. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. geriatric population is expected to reach 77 million by 2034.
Statistics:
North America held dominant position in the global biosensors market in 2019, accounting for 38.5% share in terms of volume, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively.
