Why Conduct Constant Surveillance for Biological Warfare Threats?


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c40215) has announced the addition of "U.S. Bio-Detection Homeland Security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security
Department of Homeland Security

executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States
 Technology & Market Forecast - 2007-2012" to their offering.

The Bio-Detection markets present some of the fastest growing and vibrant markets in the Homeland Security industry. This research forecasts a 96% CAGR CAGR

See: Compound Annual Growth Rate
 for 3rd-generation Bio-Detection technologies revenues between 2008 and 2012, which translates to an 80% market share for these technologies in 2012. The rapid growth for these 3rd generation technologies will coincide with a fast decline of 1st & 2nd -generation homeland security Bio-Detector markets which are forecasted to collapse at -20% CAGR. The growth of the 3rd generation technologies will result from the premium bio- agent selectivity, sensitivity and fast response coupled with a dramatic reduction in use of expensive reagents that these technologies are expected to provide.
