The 60-plus population

uses three to five times

the healthcare services

provided to younger

generations.

The aging population will

grow by 33% between 2010

and 2020, jumping from 18%

of total population to 22% in

just ten years.

IMPACT OF AGINGPOPULATION

As demographics change, there will be increased demand to develop, test, and produce new drugs more efficiently.

Laboratory automation will go from “nice to have” to “must do” to ensure:

Increased efficiencies

Improved throughput

Reduced costs

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGYADVANCEMENT

Laboratories will require “big data” capabilities and personalized medicine technologies

Laboratory automation is a major factor in driving down the cost of per-sonalized medicine to the point where it is commercially viable

Personalized medicine is

healthcare customization

with medical decisions,

practices and/or products

being tailored to the

individual patient. Source:

It is becoming possible to

understand an individual’s

genetic makeup to predict

their responsiveness to

certain drugs and therapies,

allowing the best

individualized care

WHY OEMS CHOOSEOUTSOURCING

When speed to market is a major factor, outsourcing the entire design or key subsystems allows a

shorter design cycle.

When revenue comes more from sales of the consumable compared to sales of the instrument, OEMs now focus more on innovations of revenue generating consumables.

More and more OEM

instrument manufacturers

choose to outsource some

or all of their instrument

design and manufacturing.
