Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries.
, Calif. -- Increased investments and research in the micro sensing and biotechnology markets drives demand for highly accurate and reliable biosensors. In addition to research and advancements in micro technology, a number of emerging end-user opportunities also encourage market growth.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.sensors.frost.com), World Biosensors Markets, reveals that the markets earned revenues of $5.11 billion in 2006 and estimates this to reach $10.62 billion in 2013.

 equipment for point of care and home diagnostic applications," observes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Dr. Rajender Thusu. "The large-scale adoption of these biosensor based instruments will dramatically strengthen the market. Several technological alliances and partnerships currently cater to the demand for applications in this segment."

The demand of point of care and home diagnostic markets for highly accurate multiple parameters testing drives innovative biosensor research. In addition, biosensor research continues to focus on the miniaturization min·i·a·tur·ize

Moreover, hybrid technology research aims to develop easy-to-use portable devices fitted with memory chips to store real time data that will facilitate quick analysis. The significant increase in funding allocated for research and development in fields such as lab-on-chip, cell-on-chip, and other nano-sensors, further boosts demand for biosensors.

However, the strict stipulations of regulatory agencies regulatory agency

 such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Regulation Authority exert considerable control over the use of biosensors in medical devices and environmental applications, thereby limiting market growth. Manufacturers can minimize this market restraint by developing compatible microchip (1) Another term for a microminiaturized integrated circuit (a "chip").

 to the high growth of the biosensors market.

"In this scenario, biosensor companies need to identify opportunities for technological innovation by proactively monitoring changing customer needs across various end-user verticals," suggests Dr. Thusu. "Developing testing and monitoring techniques that require the least time while also providing a high level of accuracy with no external interference are some of the critical factors that participants need to focus on."

In order to ensure success in this market, companies must decrease technology overlaps and increase the transfer of lab technology to commercial production.
