The Bio-Detection markets present some of the fastest growing and vibrant markets in the Homeland Security industry. The Obama administration is committed to accelerate the spending in Bioterror mitigation programs. In February 2009 the Congress passed a bill including additional funding of over $1.7 Billion, earmarked at Bio-security and Bio-health, and R&D.

 This report describes the technologies and markets dedicated to using biological detectors for either constant automatic standoff surveillance of an indoor facility (e.g., mall, postal distribution center), an outdoor environment, or manual usage by 1st responders to check whether or not suspect traces consist of bio-terror agents. Such systems, in the context of Homeland Security, are mainly designed to mitigate the effects of biological terrorism.

HSRC’s team of scientists and industry executives meticulously researched and analyzed each of the 4 modalities of bio-detection:

• Outdoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors (e.g., project BioWatch)
• Indoor Automatic Standoff-Detectors
• Emergency Responder Biological Mobile Labs
• Emergency Responder Biological Hand-Held Detectors

For each modality, the research provides a detailed analysis and forecast for 3 generations of technologies, providing for 12 the market segments that will make up this industry for the next 5 years.

For each of the modalities, the research provides the following:

• Present & Next Generation Technologies – present technologies analysis and an in depth analysis of Bio-Detection candidates of next generation technologies
• Current and upcoming business opportunities –18 specific business opportunities outlined and analyzed
• 2010-2014 Market forecasts– Various and detailed forecasts of annual sales in units and dollars, for the next 5 years
• 2010-2014 Service and upgrade business – 5 year forecasts of the service and equipment installation and upgrade business, which are the main source of gross margin for this industry
