Market perspective
Lateral Flow Reader is a universal mobile analysis device for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of lateral flow assays, immunological rapid tests for diagnostics, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. The tests can originate in multiple fields of application, such as cancer and heart disease diagnostics or drug screening.
The Lateral Flow Readers industry concentration is not high; there are more than one hundreds manufacturers in the world, and high-end products mainly from U.S. and Western European. Global giant manufacturers mainly distributed in U.S. and E.U. The manufacturers in U.S. have a long history and unshakable status in this field. Manufacturers such as Alere (Abbott) and BD Company have relative higher level of product’s quality. As to Germany, QIAGEN has become as a global leader. In Norway, Skannex leads the technology development. China only has a few small and young producers. The top 5 manufactures are Alere (Abbott), QIAGEN, LRE Medical (Esterline), BD Company and Skannex, with about 46% market shares. The key consumption markets locate at developed countries. North America takes the market share of 36%, followed by Europe with 31%.
