Highlights

While the mature markets of the US, Europe, and Japan accounted for a combined share of 75% of the global IVD market in 2010, the rapidly expanding emerging markets represent significant growth opportunities.

The IVD industry is polarized between a handful of global, multi-technology companies with sales of over $1bn, and around 250 smaller players that tend to focus on developing new technologies or producing diagnostics for a specific market segment.

During 2009-12, there was significant collaboration between IVD and top 50 pharma companies focused on personalized therapy with the aim of developing companion diagnostics. With 12 personalized therapy deals entered into by the end of April, 2012 could be a bumper year for such partnerships.
