Data-driven Healthcare Solutions Transforming the Global In Vitro Diagnostics Industry

Frost & Sullivan hosts a complimentary briefing discussing new growth opportunities unveiled by paradigm shifts in direct to Consumer Testing and Point of care Molecular Diagnostics markets

SANTA CLARA, California, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The Global In vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry is being disrupted due to the integration of multi-disciplinary capabilities in biology, chemistry and computational power that companies can leverage to develop new solutions to diagnose, treat and manage chronic disease conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. There is an immense pressure on companies to build new competencies in product development, manufacturing and distribution of new technology platforms such as point-of-care molecular diagnostics and capture new growth opportunities in the precision medicine market.

Shifting payment models are transforming the IVD industry. "As healthcare industry moves away from the fee-for-service model, it is more important than ever to understand how your company's product or solution fits into patient care continuum and why it's valuable to clinicians and patients. Reimbursement strategy must be a top priority for IVD companies," said Harry Glorikian, Board Advisor of Nuclelis, Evidation Health, GeneNews.

"The rapid adoption of clinical Next-generation sequencing platforms and companion diagnostics applications is set to catalyze improvement in the precision medicine landscape," noted Nitin Naik, Global Life Sciences Vice President at Frost & Sullivan.

In Vitro Diagnostics is also opening new revenue streams for non-healthcare companies in the Telecommunications and Health Information Technology areas that are willing to partner with diagnostics companies. "IVD vendors focus on integration, miniaturization and consumerization of diagnostic products.  On the other hand, IT companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) help with the interoperability and data management to create a more patient-centric ecosystem," said Unmesh Lal, Life Sciences Program Manager at Frost & Sullivan.

"M&A's will continue to grow in the area of point of care testing and liquid biopsy. Tier 1 companies will be seen making strategic acquisitions in the market for the most promising technologies," noted Divyaa Ravishankar, Senior Industry Analyst, Life Sciences at Frost & Sullivan.
