Reportlinker Adds Central Nervous System (CNS) Biomarkers: Technologies and Global Markets

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Central Nervous System (CNS) Biomarkers: Technologies and Global Markets

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0326190/Central-Nervous-System-CNS-Biomarkers-Technologies-and-Global-Markets.html

The global CNS biomarker market was estimated at $1.3 billion in 2009 and is expected to reach close to $3.2 billion by 2015, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1% from 2010 to 2015.

The CNS molecular diagnostic market will see the largest growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 172.3% from 2010 to 2015 due to the number of diagnostic tests that are in the pipeline. This sector is valued at $2 million in 2010 and is expected to be worth $302 million in 2015.

The growth rate for the CNS biomarker market for drug development will increase as more validated biomarkers become available for patient segmentation and assessment of efficacy for clinical trials. This sector is worth an estimated $162 million in 2010 and is expected to reach $355 million in 2015, a 17% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

INTRODUCTION

Biomarkers are measurable and quantifiable biological indicators that can be used to diagnose or predict disease, monitor disease progression, and predict treatment response.   They have played, and will continue to play, an important role in drug R&D and in diagnostics. They are important tools for understanding disease mechanism, developing more effective treatments, and improving the quality of patient care. The discovery of biomarkers for CNS disorders has gained considerable interest within the pharmaceutical industry due to the many unmet needs in current treatments and diagnostics.  

Here we examine the role of CNS biomarkers in early discovery, in drug development, and for future diagnostics. We assess the global CNS biomarker market and make forecasts from 2010 to 2015.   We further segment the market by application, technology (genomics, proteomics, and molecular imaging), and region.   We discuss the different disease segments, describing gaps in treatment and limitations of current methods of diagnosis. The process of developing biomarkers from discovery to commercialization is discussed along with the forces in the industry that play an integral role, such as payers, providers, and suppliers. We also address the growth drivers and growth inhibitors that can affect CNS biomarker adoption.  

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
