8 Drivers Explained High-growth Antibody-based Technologies Increase Demand Flow cytometry has gained tremendous popularity during the last decade. This technology measures and analyzes the physical characteristics of cells as they flow in fluid stream through a beam of light. A 2008 Frost & Sullivan analysis on the U.S. flow cytometry markets determined that the instruments market targeted to research laboratories was growing at a CAGR of xx.x percent from 2007 to Market leaders in flow cytometry instrumentation, BD Biosciences, and Beckman Coulter, Inc. also specialize in flow-grade antibodies. Due to its market-share stronghold of roughly two-thirds of the flow cytometry instrumentation market, BD Biosciences has built the most trusted and popular brand name for this technology. This reputation translates to antibodies used for flow cytometry, where BD Biosciences holds market leadership. Overall, antibody suppliers continue to expand their portfolios of multicolor flow cytometry antibodies to take advantage of the growing flow cytometry market. Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis. 20

9 Drivers Explained (continued) High-growth Antibody-based Technologies Increase Demand (continued) Researchers use antibodies for various applications within a wide range of research fields. Technologies requiring antibodies include: o Western blots o ELISAs o Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) o Flow cytometry, functional assays o Eectron microscopy o Fluorescence microscopy o Gel-shift assays o Immunohistochemistry (IHC) o Immunocytochemistry o Immunodiffusion o Immunofluorescence o Microarrays o Multiplex assays o Radioimmunoassays These technologies vary by age, popularity, ease of use, expense, throughput, and data output. Therefore, usage of these techniques varies greatly and contributes to market growth differently. Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis. 21

10 Drivers Explained (continued) High-growth Antibody-based Technologies Increase Demand (continued) A 2008 Frost & Sullivan analysis on the U.S. Research ELISA Market determined this mature market is declining at a CAGR of x.x percent from 2007 to Researchers continue to switch to multiplex-assay technologies, such as those by Luminex Corporation or Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC, more often than they are switching to single-analyte approaches, like ELISA. While ELISA usage is declining, this trend actually contributes to market growth for antibodies as researchers perform higher-throughput reactions with a greater number of antibodies. Nevertheless, there will always be a place in research for this entrenched, trusted technology. In 2008, R&D Systems held market leadership for research ELISAs, including kits and development components, with roughly a xx-percent share. The firm s strong reputation for ELISAs likely attracts customers searching for antibodies to use in homebrew ELISA development. Overall, many research antibody suppliers also provide ELISAs. Customers performing ELISAs maybe be more likely to purchase antibody pairs from trusted ELISA kit providers. Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis. 22
