High Level Analysis

In-depth analysis of market drivers, challenges and trends would be helpful to determine the product positioning strategy and gain the competitive edge. Competitive landscape section entirely focuses on key players, new launches, acquisitions, agreements and collaborations. Porter’s five forces analysis has been used to determine the attractiveness of biochip products and services market. Biochip products have major application in cancer therapy, where, large pool of population is available for diagnosis and treatment due to high prevalence of cancer across the globe. Thus, availability of large number of end-users for biochip products tends to decrease the bargaining power of buyers. High manufacturing cost of these products, forces the manufacturers for collaborations, acquisitions and agreements, which can be easily afforded by the big players. Hence, threat from new entrant is less. Manufacturing of biochip products require the knowledge of technical know-how and therefore, these products cannot be easily substituted.
