Surging Prevalence of Cancer and Diabetes Boosting Growth

The incidence rates of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and infectious diseases have risen in recent years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, diabetes is likely to be the seventh leading cause of death. In 2014, an estimated 9.0% adults aged 18 years and above were diagnosed with diabetes. In 2012, approximately 1.5 million people died from causes directly related to diabetes. In case of cancer, WHO states that in 2012, an estimated 14 million new cancer cases were reported, with 8.2 million people dying from the disease that year. Over the next two decades, the number of new cancer cases is most likely to grow by an astounding 70.0%, growing from 14 million in 2012 to 22 million on a yearly basis. As far as infectious diseases is concerned, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012 alone, US reported 53,800 new cases of salmonella, 9,945 cases of tuberculosis, 551 new cases of meningococcal disease, and 30,831 new cases of Lyme disease. The alarming rise in such chronic medical conditions significantly impacts the demand for clinical laboratory services.
Oligopolistic Nature of the Global Market

The global clinical laboratory services market is rather oligopolistic in nature and only a handful of leading players account for over 50.0% of the overall market. Companies such as Sonic Healthcare, Charles River Laboratories, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Spectra Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories, Bio-Reference Laboratories, Labco S.A., Healthscope, Quest Diagnostics, Inc., and Genoptix Medical Laboratory are presently operational in the clinical laboratory services market.

North America dominates the worldwide clinical laboratory services market in terms of revenue and is forecast to retain its lead through 2019. Favorable reimbursement scenario, presence of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, and rising incidence of chronic diseases drives the North America market. The US is a leading market for clinical laboratory services in this region owing to a high percentage of geriatric population. Experts predict that by 2030, the percentage of aging population in the country will rise to 20.0%. A burgeoning population base of the elderly results in increased volumes of testing for clinical laboratories.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to show strong growth over the next four years owing to large population base combined with high level of unmet medical needs. Even though poor and highly unorganized healthcare reimbursement scenario in the region threatens to impede the growth of the clinical laboratory services market, absence of a stringent regulatory framework is likely to offset this and ensure tremendous growth by 2019.

Intracranial Pressure Monitors Market Expected to Reach USD 350.5 Million Globally in 2023

Cerebral monitoring is utilized for managing severe head injuries in human beings. In addition, it is also utilized in the treatment of stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, hepatic failure, and intracerebral hematoma, and during carotid artery surgery and after neurosurgery. Owing to the rising occurrence of traumatic brain hemorrhages and injuries, intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors are experiencing rapid and cutting-edge technological advancements so that they may establish an efficient treatment regimen. Factors such as the rising number of accidents caused by traffic, the rising geriatric population, and the global expansion of trauma care centers are fuelling the market for intracranial pressure monitors.
There are mainly three types of ICP monitors. TMR, a market intelligence company, elaborates upon these three devices in terms of their placement, functions, uses, and limitations.
• Intraventricular Catheters: This is the gold standard utilized for measuring the intracranial pressure. An intraventricular catheter is inserted via a right frontal burr hole to the inside of the lateral ventricle. Placement of the intraventricular catheter becomes difficult in case of a compression or displacement of the ventricle. Intraventricular catheters are utilized for the removal of cerebrospinal fluid and for administering drugs such as antibiotics and is attached to either a transducer or a saline manometer. The utilization of intraventricular catheters becomes complicated with any type of infections, but these blockages can be fixed by flushing the entire system and using catheters containing antibiotics.
• Intraparenchymal Monitors: These monitors are inserted in the brain by a small burr hole with a 4mm screw and are considered to be as efficient as intraventricular catheters. These monitors are accompanied by decreased rates of hemorrhages and infections. These are especially useful at times when ventricles are not accessible owing to compression due to raised intracranial pressure. Some of the limitations of intraparenchymal monitors are their inability to be recalibrated, the fact that therapeutic CSF drainage isn’t possible with them, and they are subject to drift if utilized for long periods of time.
• Subdural Pressure Transducers: These are extremely simple to place and are the least invasive type of devices. For placing subdural pressure transducers, the dura has to be pierced and the hollow device gets filled up with cerebrospinal fluid. During this filling, the pressure equalizes and the closed tubing filled with fluid passes the pressure into the transducer. With the usage of subdural pressure transducers, the rates of hemorrhages and infections have fallen, but this device isn’t as efficient as intraventricular catheters and intraparenchymal monitors. There can be a number of complications caused by the debris’ misplacement and occlusion. In addition, the removal of cerebrospinal fluid with this device is not possible.
The prominent players operating in the market for intracranial pressure monitors include Haiying Medical, Codman & Shurtleff, Inc., HeadSense Medical, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Spiegelberg GmbH & Co. KG, and Raumedic AG, SOPHYSA, among others.
