Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe the specific and emerging market segment of the microRNA testing equipment on the European markets of Belgium, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the UK. It examines current usages of the existing technology and the emerging suppliers. It is based on both market analysis and survey data gathered from researchers working in the miRNA-related field. The main objectives of this study are to understand the miRNA testing market segment and to look at the products/technologies they use or plan to use in each segment, identify preferred buyers of miRNA commercial kits and the purchasing decisions. We also discover market opportunities by identifying high-growth applications in analytical diagnostic areas and focus on technological developments for microRNA measurement technology including estimation of growth potential. The major methods of analysis are thoroughly described as their understanding is necessary to forecast their future use in the miRNA field.
