World Chemical and Biological Agent Detector Markets
Frost & Sullivan, Sep 2001
Threat of Biological Agents First on Department of Defense's (DoD) List of Concerns
In 1996, the DoD referred to the threat of biological warfare from foreign and domestic forces as a sleeping dragon, placing it first on a list of necessary
technical improvements. Because of the perceived lack of protection from this hazard, biological weapons are considered an extreme threat to both military and civilian personnel. As a result, the U.S. Congress has enacted legislation to develop a readiness plan that will widen the scope and enhance the quality of its defense, increasing the demand for chemical and biological (CB) detectors.
This Frost and Sullivan study provides an in-depth analysis of the chemical and biological agent detector markets. By identifying growth opportunities and
offering strategic recommendations, this research supplies your company with the resources necessary to take advantage of this emerging field.
Marketing Beyond Military/Government Key to Success
With the U.S. military's emphasis shifting from fighting and winning foreign conflicts to homeland defense, the expected expenditure increase should drive the market. However, companies must not limit themselves to this niche, but expand their marketing efforts to a variety of sectors if they are to be successful.
As the CB industry is largely driven by government funding, market participants must realize and understand the idiosyncrasies that accompany federal expenditures, says the author of this research. Companies cannot
survive solely on government contracts. Participants should extend campaigns to include the medical, petrochemical, and food industries.
Preventing False Positives Necessary to Increase Consumer Confidence
During the Gulf War, the alarms on United States' fielded detectors sounded hundreds of times, only to have later been determined as false. The high number of false positives resulted in many detectors eventually being disconnected. As important as it is to develop sensors with low false negatives, CB warfare agent detectors must have an extremely low degree of false positives. Without highly accurate and reliable detection systems, the risk of injury or death due to panic outweighs the relatively low risk of the CB warfare hazard itself, states the author.
This Frost and Sullivan study evaluates the state of the world chemical and biological agent detector markets, presenting up-to-date information that will enable your company to capitalize on key investment opportunities.
