This is also anticipated to create new avenues for research applications.

For instance, research applications of FISH imaging systems have facilitated viewing of complex genomic structures and revealed their respective functions in various biological processes. This upgrade will facilitate real-time analysis of fluctuations in disease progression. These factors are expected to boost industry growth in the coming years.

Product Insights

In 2016, instruments held the dominant share because of greater adoption owing to benefits offered by imaging systems such as microscopes, spectrophotometers, and others. In addition, services are expected to grow exponentially during the forecast period owing to their increased adoption due to higher cost-efficiency.

The services segment is anticipated to witness lucrative CAGR during the forecast period owing to the need for a more complex and multilayered drug development system. FISH imaging services are likely to be essential in this system due to the formulation of new combinations and therapies that require higher precision.

Industry players are developing a range of services to simplify the overall process. These services are expected to result in a reduction of overall expenditure due to which they are likely to be preferred by researchers and scientists. The lucrative growth of this segment can also be attributed to increasing outsourcing to improve operations and ensure high adherence to quality standards.

Other benefits include cost advantages, increased efficiency of services, enhanced productivity, and a higher focus on core areas of development, which are critical to a company's growth. According to an NCBI survey, outsourcing results in cost savings of up to 60% and ensures better quality. In addition, contract services eliminate the need for infrastructure, which leads to significant cost reduction.

Application Insights

Cancer diagnostics accounted for a substantial share in the application segment. This can be attributed to the growing prevalence of diseases, such as cancer and genetic abnormalities. In addition, the high demand for accurate, sensitive, and rapid diagnosis of cancer is expected to lead to the growth of this segment.

Moreover, a growing number of research initiatives by major players for the development of advanced systems is expected to increase the scope for growth. This is anticipated to further boost the adoption of cancer diagnostics during the forecast period.

On the other hand, genetic diseases are expected to witness growth at a lucrative CAGR during the forecast period. Technological advancements are expected to lead to the exponential growth of this segment over the coming years.

An increase in the incidence of rare diseases caused by genetic aberrations is a high impact rendering driver for genetic disease testing. According to data published in NCBI, 80% of rare diseases are caused by genetic abnormalities.

End-use Insights

In 2016, diagnostic laboratories accounted for the largest share in the end-use segment, as this technique is used for the detection of leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma, and chromosomal abnormalities. On the other hand, an increasing number of research initiatives for cell research is expected to fuel growth.

The clinical diagnostics segment held a dominant share, and this can be attributed to the adoption of this technique in a wide range of applications, such as diagnosis of cancer, infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and others. The major benefits of these systems, including high speed for conducting assays, have made them one of the key cytogenetic diagnostic procedures.

The high prevalence of breast cancer is one of the major factors responsible for fueling the adoption of this technique for clinical purposes. It is the second-largest cause of cancer-related deaths and a major contributor to world mortality rates. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2017, around 252,710 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed globally and this number is anticipated to grow over the coming years.

These systems possess the ability to automatically quantify various parameters, such as the stage of the disease and cell viability, as compared to conventional cytogenetics. These benefits are expected to drive the fluorescence in situ hybridization imaging systems market over the forecast period. In addition, technological advancements such as integration with a lab-on-a-chip microfluidic device are anticipated to propel the growth.

Regional Insights

In 2016, North America held a dominant share of the industry. Key players are entering into collaborations to expand their product portfolios and improve their revenue share, which is a major factor contributing to growth across this region. The major share held by this region can also be attributed to extensive research & new product developments by major players.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit exponential growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to growing healthcare spending and awareness among researchers and pathologists about the benefits of this technique in diagnostics. In addition, some of the prominent market players are consistently promoting the adoption of these systems through various initiatives, and this is also expected to propel demand in the region.

Growing awareness in emerging economies, such as India and China, coupled with extensive economic development in these countries is also anticipated to create significant growth opportunities in this market.
