Endeavor Power Corporation Outlines Its New Target Market, Its Size and Projected Growth
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Endeavor Power Corporation ("Endeavor Power" or the "Company") (OTCQB:
EDVP) provides an outline of its new target market in the Point-of-Care
In Vitro diagnostics market.
The point-of-care testing ("POCT") market has been predicted to reach a
total market value of $34.6 billion by 2021, according to a recent
report published by Kalorama Information. With the ability to help
reduce healthcare costs while simultaneously improving patient care,
POCT represent a significant and growing share of the global in vitro
diagnostics ("IVD") market, according to the marketing research firm
Kalorama. In 2010 the value of the POCT market was $13.4 billion and
grew to $13.8 billion in 2011. Over the five-year period to 2016 the
market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
3.7%, to further increase its value to $16.5 billion.
The driving factors behind the growth in the POCT market can be
attributed to a number of factors including staff shortages, older
populations, long-term cost savings, the faster diagnostic and care
benefits it provides, and rural locations without conventional
laboratory services. More tests are being performed at the hospital
patient's bedside, in physician's office laboratories, outpatient
clinics, emergency rooms, and intensive-care units.
Endeavor Chairman Edward W. Withrow III says, "the reason for the shift
from central laboratory to POCT and steady growth in the type and number
of POC tests performed have been stimulated by various factors such as
increased competency of test results, reduced costs, better access for
patients and a general reductionin patient time spent with healthcare
provider. The patient receives tests results at the health provider
facility, the POC tests cost less than their central laboratory
counterparts, patients and health insurers paying less and by not having
the tests sent to an outside lab the healthcare provider has an
opportunity to generate additional income from performing the test
in-house."
