MediPoint: Diagnostic Cardiac Biomarkers for Acute Coronary Syndromes - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts
Summary
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) consists of two major diseases: myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina, with the former being one of the major killers in the mature markets. Though the incidence of ACS is either in decline or steady across the US and European countries, millions of ACS and suspected ACS patients still visit emergency rooms every year with symptoms such as chest pain, and these patients are typically assessed with in vitro diagnostic cardiac biomarker tests. The ACS diagnostic cardiac biomarker reagents market is dominated by the cardiac troponins, the gold-standard biomarkers for the diagnosis of MI. In the US and Europe, the troponin market has reached saturation, therefore growth for these tests will be driven by increased uptake in the emerging markets of Brazil, China, and India. Uptake of two pipeline biomarker tests, Thermo Scientifics copeptin, and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), will arrest the decline in the mature markets, and will drive the growth of the overall market. Though premium-priced point-of-care (POC) tests will be increasingly adopted as POC troponin tests become more sensitive, the overall market will remain dominated by laboratory-based tests at the end of the study period.
Highlights
Key Questions Answered
- The number of cases of ACS are in decline or steady in the mature markets of the US and 5EU. However, the number of cases in the emerging markets is increasing. (Q). What impact is this likely to have on the ACS diagnostic cardiac biomarker testing reagents markets in these countries? (Q). What are the true drivers for volumes of these tests?(Q). How do the major markets differ in their diagnostic testing protocols?
- The cardiac troponins are the most utilized cardiac biomarker tests for ACS, and manufacturers are continuing to develop improved sensitivity assays. (Q). What is the uptake of other biomarker tests, such as creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin, across the major markets? (Q). How will troponin, CK-MB, and myoglobin tests fare once the pipeline biomarkers copeptin and H-FABP gain uptake? (Q). What are the opinions of interviewed experts regarding the next-generation of high-sensitivity troponin assays?
- POC testing is a small component of the overall ACS in vitro diagnostic market. However, manufacturers are continuing to develop more sensitive POC troponin tests. (Q). What are the opinions of interviewed experts regarding POC testing? (Q). What do they perceive as the advantages of this approach? (Q). What are the growth opportunities for POC testing in this market?
- The ACS diagnostic cardiac biomarkers market is served by several major players. Many of these manufacturers develop both laboratory and POC testing platforms and reagents. (Q). Who are the current and future players in this market?(Q). What determines the choice of brand for a laboratory? (Q). What are the key attributes key opinion leaders are looking for?
Key Findings
