Top 8 Companies in the Global Biosensors Market

AgaMatrix Holdings LLC, Abbott Laboratories Inc., Biosensors International Group, Ltd., Medtronic Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Pinnacle Technologies Inc., Ercon, Inc., and Dupont Biosensors Materials, are leading the global biosensors market.

The global biosensors market was valued at USD 7.5 billion in 2023, driven by the growing demand for point-of-care testing across the globe. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 13.1 billion by 2032.

Biosensors are self-contained analytical devices designed to detect the presence of biological molecules, or analytes. These devices identify the analyte and generate a quantifiable signal. A biosensor typically consists of a transducer and a biological analyte. The transducer then converts this biological interaction into an electrical signal. Biosensors have diverse applications and are known by various names, including immunosensors, optrodes, glucometers, biocomputers, and biochips, among others. Some commonly found biosensors include store-bought pregnancy tests and glucose detectors.

Biosensors find wide applications in various cases such as diabetes, pregnancy, and others. The market is primarily driven by factors such as rising cases of medical conditions such as diabetes, that is increasing the demand for at-home diagnostic devices, and growing awareness about the availability of biosensors in the market. As technology advances, market players are collectively putting efforts to integrate advanced technologies into biosensors especially, wearables, to expand their application in various other fields and medical conditions.

The market players are receiving heavy investments to initiate research and development activities and bring further innovation in biosensors to expand their application in other conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For instance, in April 2024, the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) funded The Lundquist Institute (TLI) with a four-year grant worth USD 2,623,234. The funds have been provided for a project aimed at developing wearable multiplex biosensors to monitor exacerbation risk in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The research project is led by an investigator at TLI and a Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

The market is experiencing intense research and development activities to bring innovative wearable biosensors into the market and address the crucial gap of unmet needs in the healthcare sector. The integration of biosensors into wearable devices can assist in the continuous monitoring of glucose levels, heart rate, and even provide real-time data for better analysis and treatment.
