Analyst Review

Biosensors are devices that are mainly used for detection of an analyte. These are often referred to as self-contained integrated devices, which are proficient in providing quantitative analytical information using a biological recognition element. The main feature of a biosensor is real-time in-situ delivery of required information. A biosensor is mainly composed of three prime components, including biological element, that detects the target analyte and generates a signal in response to it, a transformer, and a detector that amplifies the result. 

The biosensors market is anticipated to witness a fast growth in the future, owing to its increased use in point-of-care and home care diagnosis. In addition, surge in focus toward environmental monitoring across the globe due to rise in pollution also boosts the market growth. Biosensors are gaining traction in the field of food & beverages as these are used to monitor contamination and usage of insecticides. These devices are also used in the field of drug discovery and new analyte discovery. However, high cost of these devices and low adoption of new treatment practices is expected to hamper the market growth in the future. Moreover, North America dominated the market in 2018, owing to developed healthcare infrastructure and increased focus toward the biotechnology sector. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
