Growing Economic Burden of Chronic Diseases Paving the Way for Precision Medicine Market

 

Rising economic burden of chronic diseases is considered to be one of the significant challenges that healthcare and biomedical research and development systems are facing at present. The high prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases, among others, is a prime concern across the globe. The chronic diseases have been responsible for 60% of the deaths worldwide and constitute approximately 43% of the global economic burden for diseases. According to World Health Organization in 2016, healthcare spending increased from 2.4% to 7.5% between 2015 and 2020.By 2020, the global spending on diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory diseases, is expected to reach $4 trillion. The chronic conditions hold approximately 65% of the annual healthcare cost of any country and one-third of the global population at present.

The growth of the precision medicine market over the last few years have been monumental. The factors propelling the growth of the precision medicine market are increasing focus on targeted therapy by reducing trial-and-error medicine, growing demand for non-invasive testing procedures, reducing adverse  drug  reactions  through  pharmacogenomics  testing,  advancement  of  technology  in understanding human biology & disease susceptibility, and shift in the significance of medicine from reaction to prevention, among others. However, several clinical, economic, ethical, and regulatory conditions continue to challenge the growth of the market.

Personal Care Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2019-2029

The introduction and proliferation of bio-based ingredients in several industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has been transforming the manufacturing landscape since 2000. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of bio-based products due to rising health and environmental concerns is driving the demand for bio-based ingredients in the cosmetics and personal care products. Besides, awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of synthetic ingredients chemicals has grown rapidly over the past years. In addition, the availability of green raw materials has also urged large cosmetic firms to develop bio-based cosmetic products. However, limited availability of raw material, due to erratic weather conditions and stringent environmental regulations, can pose substantial hurdles in the production of bio-based ingredients. Thus, leading companies have been focusing on developing new and sustainable ways of producing the ingredi...

Increasing Adoption of Lidar in Construction Applications

  The construction industry is continuously growing and has been witnessing various technological innovations. The construction industry depicts high complexity, steep costs, and low toleration for error, that facilitate the adoption of laser scanning. Lidars have enabled the construction industry to gain 3D models of existing space and build digital plans on those real spaces. Digital collaboration frameworks such as building information modelling (BIM) deliver the value of the scans to every element of a construction team in formats that are best suited to their needs. BIM schematics also provide continuing value to facility maintenance and operation teams. BIS Research Report on Lidar Market Numerous stages of construction projects are scanned for quality assurance, cross-checking with models, and spotting errors. Lidars can also be deployed for quality evaluation of prefabricated materials, allowing an efficient, and cheap evaluation. Furthermore, lidars find applications i...
