The client wanted to expand their clinical diagnostics business by expanding into additional segments, with an interest in immunoassays for allergy, infectious disease, and autoimmune diagnostics. A potential acquisition target was available: is this target attractive, and how does it compare with competing companies in the space?
The client needed to understand the market potential and competitive dynamics within these segments, as well as the opportunities and threats from competing technologies such as molecular diagnostics.
