U.S. Bio-Detection Homeland Security Technology & Market Forecast - 2007-2012

The Bio-Detection markets present some of the fastest growing and vibrant markets in the Homeland Security industry. This research forecasts a 96% CAGR for 3rd-generation Bio-Detection technologies revenues between 2008 and 2012, which translates to an 80% market share for these technologies in 2012. The rapid growth for these 3rd generation technologies will coincide with a fast decline of 1st & 2nd -generation homeland security Bio-Detector markets which are forecasted to collapse at -20% CAGR. The growth of the 3rd generation technologies will result from the premium bio- agent selectivity, sensitivity and fast response coupled with a dramatic reduction in use of expensive reagents that these technologies are expected to provide.

HSRC's team of scientists and industry executives meticulously researched and analyzed each of the 4 modalities of bio-detection:

  • Outdoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors (e.g., project BioWatch)

  • Indoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors (e.g., Project BDS – U.S. Post Office)

  • Emergency Responder Biological Mobile Labs

  • Emergency Responder Biological Hand-Held Detectors

For each modality, the research provides a detailed analysis and forecast for 3 generations of technologies, providing for 12 the market segments that will make up this industry for the next 5 years.

For each of the 12 market segments, the research provides the following:

  • Present & Next Generation Technologies – present technologies analysis and an in depth analysis of Bio-Detection candidates of next generation technologies

  • Current and upcoming business opportunities –14 specific business opportunities outlined and analyzed

  • 2007-2012 Market forecasts– Various and detailed forecasts including install base and annual sales in units and dollars, for the next 6 years

  • 2007-2012 Service and upgrade business – 6 year forecasts of the service and equipment installation and upgrade business, which are the main source of gross margin for this industry
