Market Deconstruction of Biochips

There are only two sentences on the website of the China Biological Forum that talk about the biochip market. These two colloquial dialogues express the public's doubts about the biochip market:
Hic2000: How about the biochip market?
Jiang0643: I also want to know, who can answer?

The global market is small, and corporate income is growing slowly.

How big is the global market? How big is the domestic market? What is the outlook? There are no public articles in the country to answer these questions. The domestic market is small, and people do not have a general understanding of the technology and application of biochips. The papers, reports and news on biochip technology are at your fingertips. In the past few years, the articles on investment hype can also find several masterpieces. But on the biochip market, there is still no feature article in China, nor a chip company or The consulting company has done meaningful market research; there have been companies that have done consumer surveys online, and few respondents.
I found the public data of three internationally renowned market research companies online, translated as follows:
On July 24, 2003, Research and Markets, an internationally renowned market research and data analysis company, published a 159-page report entitled "Market and Business of Biochips and Devices in the United States", which is priced at $998. The global biochip market is $1.1 billion and will grow at an average annual rate of 19.5%, reaching $2.7 billion in 2007.
At the end of 2003, an analysis released by Lehman Brothers pointed out that the global chip market is about 800 million US dollars.
On March 30, 2004, Frost & Sullivan, a large international consulting firm based in London, UK, published a $4,950 analysis of the global chip market: "Strategic Analysis of the World DNA Chip Market." According to the report, the global DNA biochip market is growing at an average annual rate of 6.7%. In 2003, the market value was 596 million US dollars, and in 2010 it will reach 937 million US dollars.
Compare the market size of the 2003 biochip market estimated by the three companies: Frost & Sullivan only considers the DNA chip market in the biochip market at $600 million; Lehman Brothers estimates it to be $800 million, Research and Markets estimates For $1.3 billion, we found that the estimated total global biochip market data for these three units is not far behind, at $8-1.3 billion, and their estimates reflect that the industry's objective market size should be within this range.
The Taiwan Biochip Association estimates that the market was US$220 million in 2003, with medical chip sales of US$65 million and research chip sales of US$155 million. The amount is low and it is estimated that the biochip instrument market is not included.
Affymetrix, the global biochip overlord with the goal of individualized medicine, continues to be the first in the global market this year. Many experts estimate that its market share is 1/3 to 1/2 of the world. If we know the market situation of Affymetrix, we know half of the world's markets. According to the information disclosed in Affymetrix's 2003 Annual Report, we can see some of the market performance of this hegemon.
Assuming market share As experts estimate, Affymetrix accounts for 1/2 to 1/3 of the global market. According to Affymetrix's turnover, the global market in 2003 was around $600-900 million. If zui's market growth rate in the past five years is maintained, the global market will grow twice in the next five years. By 2008, the global market will reach about 2 billion US dollars, and in 2010 it may increase to about 3 billion US dollars.
In the past five years, the total income of Affymetrix has only risen and doubled, but the net income and earnings per share have risen and fallen. In 2002, it almost lost money.
2003 was a turning point for Affymetrix, which achieved full-year profit*, with a total annual income of $300 million, a net income of $14 million, and a profit of $0.24 per share. This good performance is mainly due to the excellent performance of the Japanese market. Japan is the third largest market for Affymetrix, behind North America and Europe. All three markets are sold by Affymetrix itself. The markets in other regions are dealerships. For example, the Chinese market is represented by Hong Kong-based Gene Co., Ltd.
In 2003, Affymetrix introduced more than 20 new products to the market. In the market, sales of biochips and reagents were the same as in 2002, accounting for half of total sales, and sales of biochip instruments increased significantly.
California-based Agilent is the world's second-largest biochip operator, with a quarterly chip production of 20,000. Agilent is a large communications, electronics and life sciences company spanning 110 countries and territories, with revenues of $6 billion in the previous year and $6.1 billion in revenue last year. Since Agilent's main business is not a biochip, this part of the business is drowned out in many products and services, and even in its annual report, there is no mention of the biochip business.
Although this giant has not entered the biochip field for a long time, its popularity is not high, it is not a specialized biotechnology company, nor a specialized biochip company, but its small business also occupies the second position in the industry. It can be seen that the total scale of this industry is very small compared with other industries.
Although Agilent Technologies entered the Chinese market in 1977, its life sciences department entered the domestic market in the past two years, and its share in the domestic biochip market is small. Compared with its share in the global market, there is still a lot of difference. Different. However, the president of Life Science and Chemical Analysis Instruments at Agilent's head office will visit China this fall and will be on the domestic market. Agilent's total biochip solutions and customized services will have a proper share in the domestic market.

Research chip market segmentation small business segmentation small market

According to the market, biochips are divided into research chips and clinical test chips. Research chips are mainly supplied by research units or new drug research and development companies, which can process R&D data in a large amount, accounting for about 3/4 of the total number of chips in the world. In the early days, mainly model organism gene chips: humans, rats, mice, fruit flies, etc., the number of research chips in the agricultural field is rapidly increasing, such as barley, grapes, soybeans and rice, and many new research chips are now on the market. : Protein chip, tissue chip.
Among the domestic biochip companies, the gene company is a company that Zui introduced biochips to China. As early as 6 years ago, GeneChip invited the founders of spotting chips to lecture in several major cities, and introduced spotting instruments and scanners to domestic companies and research institutions that developed their own gene chips. In 2002, Affymetrix's gene chips, scanners and related reagents were sold in large quantities, and the market performance in 2003 increased significantly. Among all the products represented by Gene Company, the market growth rate of Affymetrix products ranks as *, and it is also the product that Zui Company attaches to the marketing of the gene company: an Affymetrix product promotion group is set up in the marketing department.
For foreign gene lings, many gene chips are more suitable for their own development than their own development. The agency company has a lower cost and a stable profit margin. The agent's Affymetrix products have a brand advantage. The marketing strategy of the gene company is also very successful. At the beginning, Jingtai specially purchased and introduced Affymetrix's complete instrument system to provide demonstrations for promotion and to provide technical services for customers who could not purchase such expensive instruments temporarily. Later, the service was very popular, with services and advocacy services on a large scale and on a large scale. At the same time, other units in China have also carried out Affy's chip services, which have produced good economic benefits and become a good business model.
In order to make the research expression spectrum chip become the daily research method of researchers, Shanghai Biochip has been implementing a low-price strategy and implemented two price reduction activities nationwide. Sales in 2003 were 2.2 million yuan, and it has provided expression chip services for more than 70 units. The business target for 2004 was to reach 5 million yuan.
Shao Wei, Marketing Director of Shanghai Biochips, said: "The current research chip is like molecular biology 10 years ago. China is lagging behind foreign countries for 2-3 years. Therefore, with the joint promotion of all the research chips, there will be a rapid development. In the next few years, publishing articles may not work without chip data."
The new biochip technology continues to be commercialized and has entered the research chip market. In the multi-segment market of research chips, although large companies have a monopoly position, SMEs also have some market space to develop, and Shaanxi Chaoying has become a dynamic enterprise star in the research chip market.
Sino-US joint venture Shaanxi Chaoying Biotechnology Co., Ltd., the first to carry out large-scale production and sales of tissue chips at home and abroad, has been listed on the NASDAQ. According to the conservative estimate of Superying Bio, the current demand for experimental tissue chips in the domestic market is around 80,000 to 100,000.
In foreign countries, SuperBritish Bio actively expands its market through its representative offices in the United States. In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Singapore and other countries, it is seeking market development through the search for professional agency companies. Since the second half of 2003, Chaoying Bio has gradually covered foreign key markets. In the United States, some researchers have become accustomed to using super-British biological tissue chips for scientific research. Compared with other biotech companies that sell tissue chips, Super Biology Microsystems has won the respect of customers and other biotech companies, both in terms of market coverage, market share, and customer acceptance.
In the country, through the gradual exploration and practice of the market, an effective implementation plan has been formulated, using network marketing, conference marketing, academic marketing, agency distribution (currently there are 5 professional biotechnology agency companies throughout the country), etc. The company's tissue chip products have entered the major laboratories of basic medicine and life sciences in the country. At the same time, Super British Bio has carried out various technical services and academic exchanges. After nearly two years of market operation, it has formed an unshakable domestic leader in the organization of the chip industry.
Super Ying’s sales in the first half of this year were more than three times that of the previous year, while last year’s sales were more than 50 times that of the previous year. According to An Zhaonian, the department of the British Bio-Marketing Market, “According to our survey of customers, customers have more than 92% satisfaction after using our products. And about 86% of customers said that if they need to carry out research work in the future, The research on histology will first consider the company's organization of chip products. At present, our fixed customers account for more than 60% of all customers." He also said that the popularity is also obtained through network surveys, in the target of tissue chip technology In the customer survey, most of the customers have knowledge, and 94% of the target customers who know this are knowing that our company is the organization chip provider.
Functional classification Gene chips are a rising star in the gene chip industry. SuperArray Company of the United States has a complete range of products, including apoptotic gene chip, tumor gene chip, common disease research gene chip, signal transduction gene chip and so on. Different from the expression spectrum chip for the purpose of sieving, the functional classification chip scientifically screens and classifies genes according to important biological pathways, which is more in line with the need for further research on genomes. Shanghai Kangcheng is the general agent of SuperArray China, focusing on the positioning characteristics of this product, focusing on the development of the market in the field of medical molecular biology. In just one year, Kang Cheng has provided a full set of chip technology services for more than 30 key scientific research units such as Fudan University Institute of Genetics, Second Military Medical University and Zhongshan Hospital.
Chengdu Fama Gene cooperated with Mergen Company of the United States to focus on the development of an animal experimental oligonucleotide synthesis chip platform for drug target gene screening. It not only uses it in traditional Chinese medicine research, but also provides services to some local customers. In foreign countries, Mergen is operating the market for this product.
Applied Biosystems is a global bio-instrument company with annual sales, and has Celera, a company that has been involved in the human genome sequencing program, and its vast human genome database. In April of this year, Applied Biosystems of America introduced an expression profiling chip for all 30,000 genes in human, rat and mouse genomes. Relying on its huge genomic database, perfect market foundation and brand, it is likely to become a big black horse in the research chip market.
Since Boao is a state-owned enterprise and has a background in Tsinghua, domestic users still agree. For more than three years, Boao has provided a complete set of microarray chips and biological materials for more than 50 units including the Institute of Oncology of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Informatics technical services.
Based on the patented technology injected by Boao Company, Tenglong Company is committed to the development of tool-based active biochips, and has developed a cell patch clamp chip product for drug screening. In 2003, it passed the Axon company, a well-known American instrument company. The bundled instrument products have been used by more than 30 pharmaceutical companies including Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer and Roche, and have brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to Tenglong.
Shanghai Boxing and Shanghai Biochip mainly do expression spectrum chips, and Beijing Boao has developed relatively large on microfluidic chips. Although the share of Bosing has shrunk, the total sales should still be better than Boo. Last year, Boxing should have more domestic chip sales. Shanghai biochip sales have a slight gap with Boxing last year, but this year is expected to surpass Boxing.
According to Frost & Sullivan, UK, “Due to the slow growth of the pharmaceutical industry, the use of DNA chips has encountered problems in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields, especially in clinical research. However, these problems can be solved through various efforts, such as pharmaceuticals. Companies and biotech companies establish mutually beneficial partnerships, propose effective market strategies, pass the benefits of chips to new potential users, lower prices, and provide more attractive software and services."

The root cause of clinical testing chips is the marketing strategy mistakes.

According to the prediction of international consulting companies, after the clinical test chip is mature, the standard is unified, and the one-time health and disease check chip will likely replace the current test reagent. After the large-scale production of clinical test chips, the price will drop rapidly, and future sales will exceed the research chip.
In Europe and the United States, the clinically detected protein is still in the basic research stage of the laboratory. In China, it has already entered clinical application, because the research chip market has been monopolized by the world giants, and clinical testing and agricultural testing chips have broader market prospects.
In 2002, the National Drug and Food Administration approved five kinds of biochips. In addition to Jiangnan Biological's thalassemia gene detection chip, the other four are protein chips: multi-tumor marker detection system, hepatitis C virus fragment antibody Detection kit, Helicobacter pylori antibody detection system, Ureaplasma urealyticum, human papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis antibody detection system.
Shenzhen Yishengtang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. cooperated with the Institute of Radiation Medicine of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences to successfully develop a hepatitis C virus sub-segment antibody detection kit (protein chip). In 2002, it was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SDA). I have been in the market and have been trialing in several hospitals such as Sanhaoyi.
Why is this hepatitis C test chip been tried and not widely recognized by hospitals? Zui, Dr. Huang from the Institute of Radiation Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences said in an interview with the journal: "There is no technical problem, there is no problem of inaccurate testing, mainly problems in workshop renovation, procedures and equipment. Many hospitals may not I can afford it. We only sell chips, and we can do it on our side, but the hospital must buy a scanner and have a hybrid instrument."
Xi'an Lian is mainly engaged in the research and production of low-density protein chips, supporting biochip readers and related antigen-antibody preparations, as well as the production of immune whole blood kits. The price of chip readers is only one-fifth that of other similar products in the world. There are already dozens of hospitals in the top three.
Ren Yuejun of Xi'an Lien Company said: "Because the order of the biochip domestic market is still quite chaotic, from 2002 to now, the National Drug and Food Administration approved five kinds of biochips; and there are far more types of products sold in the market. These, clinically-accepted clinical test chips are not open to the medical market; and some of the poor quality products have had a negative impact on the already skeptical consumer population. However, we are still holding on to the prospects of the biochip market. Affirmative and optimistic, the standardization of the domestic market order and the introduction of relevant policies will require further strengthening of management and coordination by relevant state functional departments."
As foreign countries are still in the experimental stage, there are no successful cases for domestic copying, which has led many R&D institutions and enterprises that have been accustomed to following foreign trends to falter. It is often suspected that domestic application of clinical detection protein chips is too aggressive.
There are many companies in China that develop clinical test chips. In addition to the difficulty of approval, the market is even more difficult. The clinical examination chips of the mainland are all oriented to the hospital, and the hospital is used as a product sales target. The hospital reuses the chip system to provide medical examination services for the general population and provides disease diagnosis services for patients. However, from the current situation, the examination and approval agencies and many hospitals are not willing to accept this new product. Clinical testing and detection chips are caught in multiple dilemmas of technology, policies, channels and customers.
New technologies, new products, and new markets must exist. Open the market, find a way out for new products, turn potential consumers into facts, and develop new markets, build new channels, adopt new marketing methods, and realize the dream of clinical testing chip development companies, creating billions of dollars. Market value.
Shao Wei, Marketing Director of Shanghai Biochips, said: "The key to civilian chips is to grasp the positioning and replace the concept of traditional products. Otherwise, the chip may enter a dead end. The characteristics of the chip are that it can provide a very good supplement to the traditional method and can utilize high Flux, rapid, micro-chemical, parallelization features early rapid screening, and then determined by traditional methods. In some areas, such as genetic diseases, personalized medication, etc., can give full play to the technical advantages of molecular biology, Obtain important information that cannot be obtained by traditional methods. The key to the current approval is the determination of product quality standards and parameters. The work of the Food and Drug Administration is going to be discussed with the chip companies in order to determine them at an early date."
In the long run, clinical diagnostic chips are definitely promising. The UK's Frost & Sullivan believes that "biochips are more promising in the clinical and diagnostic markets. As biochips become more effective, disease research deepens, individualized drugs and high-yield technologies mature, biochips will become more common. Diagnostic tools. The success of gene expression analysis in agriculture, the environment, and other non-traditional areas has also spurred the use of chips."
Affymetrix is ​​on the verge of a breakthrough in diagnostic chips and competes with small businesses in the new biochip market. Last year, Affymetrix built a new production line to produce SNP analysis gene chips and began commercial cooperation with Roche Diagnostics. The head of Affymetrix said: "People predict that the cancer diagnostics market will soon grow to $5 billion, but they don't know where the biochip tools should be, what we are doing and what the market is telling us. There is a gap between us, we have spent a lot of money, and we don't plan to develop something with only 10 probes.” Affymetrix has divided the company into two divisions, Diagnostics and Genomics.
Roche has established a strategic alliance with Affymetrix to develop in vitro diagnostic gene chips on a platform based on the Affymetrix chip reading system. Roche's first chip for in vitro diagnostics will be AmpliChip CYP450, and the next is AmpliChip P53. The CYP450 gene family plays an important role in drug metabolism. AmpliChip CYP 450 can help screen for the CYP450 polymorphism in the patient's genome, and then guide the doctor to select the drug type and dose during treatment.
Roche Diagnostics' product in Beijing said: "The gene chip is still a long way to go for clinical diagnostic applications. China will become one of the first promotion areas of the Roche gene chip."
An opportunity is in front of us, the brave, the wise, and the lucky one.

Agricultural chips are emerging in market research should go ahead

According to industry points, biochips can also be divided into human medicine chips and agricultural chips. Agricultural chips are used exclusively for agricultural research and agricultural product testing such as agriculture, forestry, livestock, animal husbandry and fish.
Foreign large companies used to provide animal and microbial chips, and are now developing genetic chips for crops and livestock. In the domestic market, there are already agricultural application chips from companies such as Hong Kong's GeneChip Corporation. The types of chips in the agricultural sector will increase rapidly: barley, grapes, soybean rice, wheat, cotton, corn, citrus, poplar, cattle, chicken, pigs, Zebrafish? For example, the grape genome chip covers more than 10,000 transcripts for wine and raisin industry research, grape seed screening, drought resistance research, and wine treatment of human diseases.
Agricultural chips are used in research and testing. Food safety issues are already serious social tumors in China, and need to use a variety of effective new tools such as economy, management, and technology. Biochip technology is also meeting this market demand. Da Yuan's veterinary drug residue detection protein chip has been introduced to the market, and its detection speed is very fast, and the result can be measured in 3 hours. According to related reports, this chip has been welcomed by the market.

The fierce competition in the instrument market is far beyond the opportunity. The biochip market can also be divided into the instrument market and the consumables market. Biochip instruments are mainly spotters, scanners, and hybrids (boxes). Buyers in this domestic market are generally chip production and service providers, many of which just try water, and there is no further purchase if they buy a cheap platform. The average research unit, the purchase of biochip instruments is not much, they tend to use commercial chips, they do not need to spot and scan, just provide the sample to the chip service provider to get the experimental results.
The domestic chip instrument market is not large, but many brands are selling in the domestic market, vying for this small market. In China, there are mainly six companies in the chip instrument market: PerkinElmer, which sells products directly, and four are agency companies, namely Hong Kong-based gene company, Taiwan-based Cold Spring Harbor Company, Shenzhen. Jingmei and Beijing’s Dongsheng Innovation have developed Boao Company.

PerkinElmer Inc.
PerkinElmer is the world's third largest biochemical supplier and a world's largest supplier of high-throughput drug screening, fully automated liquid handling and sample preparation, and genetic disease screening. Since 1999, PerkinElmer has invested more than $1 billion in the life sciences business and is rapidly becoming a technology leader in proteomics, genomics, drug development and genetic disease screening.
PerkinElmer is a complete biochip solution that covers the complete research process from chip sample preparation, spotting, labeling, hybridization, scanning, data analysis to visualization. Biotech World's cover on February this year featured PerkinElmer's complete solution.
In order to adapt to the increasingly in-depth research of protein chips, PerkinElmer provides a complete set of instruments and consumables. Among them, the non-contact chip spotter Piezoray is the advanced chip spotting system of Zui, with precision up to pL level, especially suitable for A protein chip with a high viscosity of the sample and requiring accurate quantification is prepared.
Many representative chip manufacturers and research units in China have adopted the products and software of the PerkinElmer chip product line. Shanghai's United Gene Technology Group purchased 50 PerkinElmer chip scanners in one operation in 2000. The chip spotting instrument and scanner used by the Beijing Institute of Genomics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing Huada Gene Research Center) are all PerkinElmer. The rice genome-wide chips prepared by them have more than 60,000 genes on two slides. There are more than 30,000 genes on a single chip, and both the spot density and the spotting effect are very good.
Packard Company of PerkinElmer has more than 30 years of experience in laser technology development and application. The ScanArray Express series of laser confocal chip scanning systems have been developed with a number of unique design patents for high sensitivity of a variety of fluorescent samples. analysis. PerkinElmer is a leader in the field of chip scanners, and has a large market share in the global market. It also plays an important role in the domestic scanner market, with sales exceeding 100 units.

Cold Spring Harbor Company Cold Spring Harbor Company started in Taiwan in the 1980s and borrowed the name of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the United States. Other aspects have nothing to do with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Cold Spring Harbor now has offices in four cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, specializing in foreign biotechnology products.
In the mainland business, biochips account for half of the business volume. Cold Spring Harbor Company's agent Axon has more than 50 users, and has sold more than 70 units, one at least 30,000 US dollars, which has a high market share in the domestic scanner market.
In the past, Cold Spring Harbor represented Gene Machine and Biorobotics' spotting instruments. These two companies were recently acquired by Genomic Solution, so the agency rights were naturally attributed to Hong Kong Gene Company, which has been acting as Genomic Solution. Now, the cold spring port is the agent of the British Genetix company, a set of at least 90,000 US dollars. In the spotter market, due to changes in the market value of the agent products, the share of Cold Spring Harbor in the spotter market decreased, and the market share of the gene company increased slightly.

Shenzhen Jingmei Biochem and Hitachi's wholly-owned subsidiary Miraibio in the United States, as a fully independent full-service provider, provide Luminex technology-based software and hardware and kit development and application services for domestic and Hong Kong users. Since its launch in March last year, so far, about 10 Luminex have been sold in one year, each of which is about $60,000.
Jingmei published an advertisement for Luminex liquid phase chip system in "Biotechnology World". For the sales and market performance of this system, Jingmei's total Luo Min said: "Our sales are very small, I am not very satisfied. Most of the customers have not started their work, a small number of customers have started their work, and they have encountered some problems. We feel that the quality of the entire user is still a problem. In fact, this is not a single manufacturer can solve. At present, users are mainly research units. Detecting some of the projects they are doing and they want to develop them themselves. Our aim is to enable them to pass the national drug test. So we are strengthening this work and set up a group in Beijing to specialize in manufacturing, R&D and crafts. In preparation for the large-scale sale of the Luminex platform in the future."

Dongsheng Innovation Illumina launched the microbead chip lab and platform last summer. Dongsheng Innovation began selling in China in January this year. In April this year, Biotechnology World was in the “Technology Frontier·Bioinformation Technology” column. The technology and application of the microbead chip is described in detail in the article and will not be described here.
Due to the SNP analysis of the microbead chip, the technology is groundbreaking. It is a good chip system with high throughput and good performance. Although the price is very expensive, it has a place in the high-end research market. In just half a year, Dongsheng Innovation sold a fully automated laboratory complete system, 20 million yuan, a semi-automatic work platform, more than 3 million yuan, equivalent to the annual turnover of some small domestic companies.
In the biochip market, Dongsheng Innovation has come to the forefront and is a dark horse worthy of attention. In the past, the industry thought that the general trend was that prices fell and competition in the low-end market would intensify, but Illumina's products directly hit the high-end market, and the industry was shocked.
Domestic companies have begun to develop low-cost chip instruments and promote sales through the provision of local services, which has already improved slightly in market development. Some domestic enterprises only produce microarray chips, but they do not produce equipment. As a result, scientific research units can't afford foreign equipment, and their own chips cannot be sold. Boao has the electromechanical foundation of Tsinghua and has strong research and development strength. In fact, the threshold of biochip instruments is not high, and the domestic team has the ability to develop independently. The equipment is comparable to foreign technology, but it is much cheaper.
From the market positioning of low-cost biochips, it is still relatively accurate. China is a "world factory" with abundant cheap labor. It has established an unquestionable market position in the manufacturing industry and should have a cost advantage in the biochip industry. The technology of biochip instruments is not high in itself, but the international market is expensive and should have a high profit margin. Boao has focused on biochip instruments and should have a price competitive advantage in the entire international market. However, Boao has no experience in market operation. How to establish effective international and domestic market channels has become a bottleneck affecting the success of Boao market.
The market is fiercely competitive, and high-end products are constantly pouring into the domestic market. It is difficult for domestic low-priced products to enter the international market. As new products continue to be introduced, the price of expensive instruments in the international market will certainly decline gradually, stimulating the demand of more users, and the scale of the instrument market will increase.

Since the point chip has gradually narrowed the number of custom chip customers, the UK Frost & Sullivan company divided the biochip market into commercial chips, self-pointing chips and software products market. The dot matrix market includes spotters, scanners and hybrids with self-pointing instruments, and related reagents, data, and blank substrates. Commercial chips are expected to dominate the market in the future. Both of these markets face the same challenges. Only by accurately predicting the market trend, successfully responding to market threats, better defining and satisfying customer needs, can we develop smoothly.
Frost & Sullivan's "Strategic Analysis of the World DNA Chip Market" believes: "Commercial chips now account for 57% of the market revenue, but due to the promotion of standardized platforms, the market for commercial chips is growing faster than that of self-pointing chips. The market share will continue to increase."
Foreign biochips are mainly used for scientific research. The domestic use is mainly for clinical use, mainly for customization, and is done according to the needs of customers. Some research customers don't want to buy the spotter themselves, and the service department uses the other's spotter to make the chips they need. In 2002, Dr. Evergreen Mountain of Beijing Nosie Genome Research Center Co., Ltd. (National Human Genome Northern Research Center) spent $1,600 on 12 tumor chips from Genomics, Germany, of which only 4 were qualified products and 8 were Cheap practice chips. At that time, Dr. Chang purchased a scanner from Packard Bioscience of the United States for $60,000. Because of the high price, there is no chip on the market that he requested. Now they have not purchased the ready-made chips, and they have to go to the chip service companies to do the chip spotting. He used this chip for more than 2,000 points, each point needs 1.5 yuan, an average of more than 3,000 yuan each, his laboratory has already ordered dozens of.
What customers need now is the experimental service. Customers only need to provide experimental samples, and the service department can deliver data reports after 10 business days. The data analysis report includes analysis of differences in expression of all genes in different samples, SOM cluster analysis of multiple samples, and post-zui analysis results.
Zhao Sheng's innovative market Zhao Xi wrote in his letter: "The future development trend of chips is: high performance, low price, strong customization ability. High performance, many manufacturers have already done it; but many products are very expensive, making many Customers are reluctant to use chip technology. The 1,500-yuan human genome chip we are launching is trying to give the industry and customers a "shock" and greatly promote the trend of chip price reduction. I very much agree with you that the chip has entered The era of customization. Illumina and Iuminx are highly respected by the world, largely because of their customization capabilities. So Dr. Yang Hongwei, director of the Shanghai Chip Center, said that the entire chip industry has transitioned from matrix chips to microchips. Custom chip transitions. And under this trend, many domestic chip companies have a lot to offer. They can provide a large number of customers with unique customized services." â– 

In order to comprehensively and objectively reflect the domestic biochip market, the first draft of this article was sent to more than 60 biochip related units by e-mail, including enterprises, research institutes, universities and hospitals. The interviewees and unit leaders written in the request letter. Reviewing relevant content, soliciting suggestions for revision, and supplementing new materials, received strong response from the industry. More than 20 organizations responded to e-mails and interviewed nearly 20 people, including corporate generals, vice presidents, products, markets, market research, application engineers, hospital quarantine directors, doctors, research unit researchers, university professors, who This article provides a wealth of materials that basically reflect the face of the domestic biochip market. I would like to thank them.
本文广泛收集意见,总结经验,反思市场战略方面的失误,为我国生物芯片产业提出了新的市场发展思路。由于本人是生物芯片行业的旁观者,加之时间仓促,所以文章粗浅,有很多不精确的地方,甚至还有非专业的说法,疏漏之处在所难免,请各位读者多多包涵。如果本文对产业界的人士和产业外的读者有半点参考价值,就达到本文抛砖引玉的目的了。

研究芯片约有1个亿医疗检测市场难启动

2004年,国内的生物芯片市场非常有限,还主要在研究芯片市场,估计1亿多元人民币。2004年全球生物芯片市场可能有7-10亿美元,国内市场约为全球市场总规模的2%。为了全面的估计国内市场规模,笔者一直在努力,但zui终没有得到满意的答案。市场不透明,因为国内所有的生物芯片企业都没有上市,业绩不公布,甚至有些产品的价格都不愿意公开。下面的市场数据,有些是笔者采访得到的,有些是企业主动书面提供的,有些是笔者根据相关资料估计的,在这里公布出来,是为了提供给读者一个大致的市场轮廓:
·在国内市场上,中国台湾冷泉港和香港基因公司代理的艾非(Affymetrix)产品在中国两岸三地的销售额和相关服务预计近5,000万元;
·上海生物芯片、陕西超英、西安联尔、上海康成、上海博星、北京博奥等几家公司售出的生物芯片产品以及提供的相关服务预计近2,000万元的规模;
·华联、晶宇、赛亚和香港基因芯片公司在本地的生物芯片相关产品和服务收入近1,000万元人民币;
·珀金埃尔默公司和安捷伦在中国的销售额、深圳晶美和其他公司代理销售的生物芯片仪器以及提供的相关服务预计近2,000万元的市场规模;
·今年上半年,东胜就已经卖出了2,000多万元的Illumina产品和技术。
其他小公司的市场表现不佳,收入很少,总计不到1,000万元,主要原因是医疗芯片市场的销售情况比较差。国家药品食品监管局仅批准了5种医疗检测芯片,这些芯片都没有被医院接受。其他在医院实验和试用的临床检测芯片大都不受欢迎,少量医疗检测芯片虽然被医院接受,但还没有注册证书,不能广泛的做营销,在市场上半遮半掩。
在很多医院试用检测芯片的同时,很多医院却将检测芯片拒之门外。2002年12月新华社记者李南玲报道,深圳市*人民医院检验科免疫室主任罗贵有和深圳市第二人民医院核医学科主任黄铁军说蛋白芯片 “快速测癌”技术是个“早产儿”,肿瘤标志特异性不高,检测灵敏度低。zui近,笔者向罗贵有主任询问了检测芯片,他说:“没法用!全完蛋了!”自从当年的试用完全失败之后,他们没有再继续用。
西安联尔的生物芯片诊断系统却受到了医院的欢迎。在8月份,笔者采访了联尔总马秦荣,他说:“生产能力赶不上销售的,可能目前就我们一家。”原来,联尔的多种疾病诊断系统的可重复性、稳定性等质量指标均得到客户的认可。
虽然现在国内的蛋白芯片研发机构很多,但国内蛋白芯片技术并不是国际ling先,深圳晶美的罗敏说:“国内所说的蛋白芯片跟国外所说的蛋白芯片是两码事。国内做的都是低密度的,甚至可以说,国内现在所谓的蛋白芯片在国外只是多重的免疫诊断试剂而已。国内研制的诊断蛋白芯片,还是很符合国内的市场需要。但跟国外投资比较的热门蛋白芯片相比还是两码事。国外正在做蛋白芯片的基础工作,如怎么解决蛋白质的保存的问题,标记,以及统计学方面的。国内的公司一般都有一个生存的问题。4年,做了临床验证,就急急忙忙把产品推向市场,在很短的时间里就想把钱赚回来。国外的生物芯片做了那么多年了,在知识产权方面和技术方面,跟国内比都还是两个层次,他们的蛋白芯片都还没有拿到上临床的许可。”
博奥微阵列与生物信息部主任张亮认为:“生物芯片技术目前还只在科研领域有应用。对于临床,其实并无成熟产品。生物芯片可以说真正的高技术,是多学科的交叉,不是几个生物工作者就能玩开的,相关专业人才匮乏,而国内重复投入到硬件设备方面的钱多,却又没有人来做,导致闲置率高。中国生物芯片技术只可能涌现1-2家领头羊公司,能集中全国的人力、财力和物力做出中国自己生物芯片的产品。”
真正有钱赚的市场不在研究芯片,当医疗检测芯片市场启动起来,当药品食品管理局的审批速度提起来,当检测芯片的特异性和稳定性普遍过关的时候,几十上百亿元的市场就能实现了。

港台市场空间有限发展模式有待创新

为了全面了解台湾的生物芯片产业,近3个月来,笔者一直在与台湾生物芯片协会和企业联络采访。9月3日,台湾生物芯片协会理事长留忠正博士接受了笔者的采访,详细介绍了台湾生物芯片的发展情况。
他说,台湾跟中国大陆遇到的问题差不了多少。2000年的时候,有很多投资者对生物芯片不了解,又受了电子IC芯片的影响,把这两个东西混在一起了,以为这是很好的投资标的。在2000年,台湾成立了大大小小的一、二十家公司,其中大部分的早期业务模式是为国外大公司提供代工。
国际上的生物芯片稳定下来,大的只有两、三家,市场还没有大到需要代工,于是很多公司不是转型了,就是消失了。晶宇公司开始往流行病检测、系统和流程发展,华联生物科技是台湾*家本土研发生产微阵列芯片的公司,有一些早期成立的小公司,如台湾基因,他们把以前做微阵列的基础用来做微阵列设备。冷泉港是艾非公司的代理商,以前还做艾菲芯片服务,现在只卖设备,艾菲芯片服务由赛亚基因来做了。
早先很多公司的商业模式不对,目前的状态不太理想。经过两、三年,有些公司慢慢找到了自己发展的稳定基础,希望有一、两家公司能够成功。生物芯片是一个工具,应该是大量、便宜的产品,做微阵列芯片的公司,应该转型,不然的话在商业上会有问题。因为,生物芯片重要的不是芯片本身,如微流体芯片,而是使用生物芯片带来的信息,如果公司把自己的商业模式定位于芯片本身,从长期来说,公司的运作还是有问题。所以我们跟这些公司在讨论的时候,他们大部分都同意,但很多公司还在设法生存,还没有精力注意这方面的问题。
台湾的生物芯片产业有多大的市场?留忠正博士说:“很多公司还没有上市,没有办法拿到他们的资料。如果他不告诉你的话,你很难获得。你预计有1亿人民币的市场,可能生物芯片市场没有这么多,未来会做到。目前成长不会太快,因为受到研究机构的研发预算的影响。微阵列要用于临床检验,必须克服很多问题,如量产技术,只有少数几个案例,其他的都不太好。将来应该能大量的应用于健康人群的早期疾病诊断。用血液、组织或皮肤,用微流体来做检测工具。生物芯片要在临床上应用,还要等5、6年。”
冷泉港代理BioMicro芯片杂交系统、艾非芯片系列产品及研究套组、Axon芯片扫描仪、Zyomyx蛋白质芯片。据冷泉港介绍,不但台湾地区的销售额快速成长,大陆地区的销售网络也快速扩大,今年1-6月已达250万美元,预估大陆今年至少成长50%,达到300多万美元。大陆人员编制也将由现有20人增至30人,预计未来3年,每年将以50%的速度成长。冷泉港北京办事处的市场说,在大陆地区,生物芯片业务的收入占到大陆地区总收入的一半。预计冷泉港今年大陆地区全年的营业收入为1,000多万人民币。
9月9日,在上海新国际博览中心举办的“第二届国际分析、生化技术、诊断和实验室技术博览会暨AnalyticaChina国际研讨会”上,笔者采访了冷泉港生物科技公司董事长戴国金光,他说:“冷泉港代理艾非公司的生物芯片,情况非常非常好,在亚洲是*名。以前是中国大陆*名,今年我们是*名。需求多的单位一次就订购300万美金,即台币1个亿。从zui近的成长来看,应该比中国大陆大。有些单位不希望我们讲出去,为什么他们需要这么多生物芯片,都是与新药开发有关系。”
他谈到市场竞争时,说道:“中国(大陆)未来也会考虑到大量使用。中国(大陆)的生物芯片公司也很多,现在也有很多的竞争者出现。我们已经在台湾变成龙头,竞争者进来不是那么容易。因为中国(大陆)的市场太大太大,中国(大陆)的艾非公司收入应该达到我们的10倍以上,现在还没有开发出来。有很多外国公司陆续都进来了,安捷伦和ABI都有类似产品出现。艾非公司在世界上是龙头老大,中国(大陆)的市场很重要。艾非公司如果经营错误,安捷伦和ABI在那边也有分公司,艾非公司的压力会很大。华联是国产的,是中研院投资的,资金雄厚一点。”
2002年,台湾的华联生物科技公司成为全球第3家研发出可检测所有疾病的全人类基因芯片的公司,一直致力于提供低价芯片。今年6月,由于公司生产出来了高速喷墨点样仪,公司开始低价销售40,000点的高密度芯片,每100片仅10,000美元,而艾菲公司和安捷伦公司生产的同样的高密度人类基因芯片每片售价高达400-800美元。华联的产能已经达到10万片,目前全球也只有艾非公司和安捷伦具有年产10万片以上的能力。
晶宇生物科技公司总王献煌说道:“以技术而言,制造产品不困难,重要的是不仅要有产品,还必须能够销售,除了成本合乎效率之外,更必须考虑到使用者的消费习性。公司从市场的需求来做研发设计,所以较容易打入市场。大肠杆菌芯片从研发到销售只花了20个月的时间,成为又一个市场成功案例。”
华联生物科技研发廖文晔的观点是:“高密度寡核酸生物芯片已经成为生技医疗研发上非常有力之工具。目前市面上虽已有数家公司生产高密度寡核酸生物芯片供使用者选择,但此项产品的应用与普及性仍未如预期。产品的高价位及功能的不稳定性是造成此类产品目前使用普及性的瓶颈。这些瓶颈在生产技术的创新与提升之后将可获得突破性的解决。生物芯片未来将向制式化、多功能方向发展,发展在生技研发或医疗检验等多方面的应用。”

研发成本抬高价格营销方式需要创新

国内的本土生物芯片企业有低价的竞争优势。国内用户选择生物芯片、设备和服务,一般首先衡量性价比。有些芯片价格很高,但技术更高,性价比反而低;有些芯片价格低,但技术更低,测出来的数据根本不能用,只得用高技术芯片再检测一次,造成浪费。
其实,从性价比来看,如果某种国产的芯片价格只有进口的1/5,难道国产芯片的性能还不足进口芯片的1/5吗?国产芯片性能和质量差是差点,不至于如此差吧?国内的芯片技术都是引进的,人才也是引进的,产品的性能和质量应该与国外大公司相差不远,产出来的产品从性价比来看,应该有很大的优势。
很多情况下,科研单位看中的是跨国大公司的品牌,品牌对于科研单位的价值,应该超过性价比。毕竟,考虑经济因素的科研单位还是占少数,大部分国家单位是用钱不心疼,赚钱无所谓,用就要用zui好的,买就要买名牌。这样的消费习惯,国产生物芯片就不利了。
除考虑技术、质量、价格和品牌之外,市场推广和售后服务也是吸引客户的重要因素。很多公司办技术培训班、产品说明会和技术研讨会,都是用技术推广来培育市场。参加展会也是品牌推广、拉近客户的好方法。
中科院北京基因组研究所(北京华大基因研究中心)生物芯片部门用DNA芯片检测表达谱、检测鉴定病原物,用蛋白质芯片研究蛋白质与蛋白质、蛋白质与其它生物分子的相互作用,部门副主管刘国振说:“点样仪运行状况还不错,经常会有一些小问题。扫描仪的软件使用不是很方便。”
博奥的微阵列与生物信息部从事基因芯片技术的服务工作,也承担国家生物芯片的重大项目,例如肿瘤生物标记物的发现、抗真菌药物的作用机制等等。在检测不同样品中基因表达的差异性、或者检测某些微生物存在与否等情况下要用到生物芯片。zui初,部门里购买的点样仪是美国Genomic Solution公司的,扫描仪为珀金埃尔默(PE)公司的,前者的价格约为10万美元,后者的价格约为5万美元。目前他们也使用博奥自行开发的点样仪和共聚焦扫描仪。进口的扫描仪一台要50万人民币,同样的仪器博奥产的才10万元,仅为进口价格的1/5。
微阵列与生物信息部的主任张亮说:“选择产品,要和自己研究的重点相吻合。例如,是打算在自己实验室小规模的做,还是大规模的做?国外厂家的售后服务滞后。其实生物芯片方面的仪器经销商和生物工作者要紧密。往往是仪器的故障,生物工作者难以发现,花了自己大量的物力、人力来找原因。”
在生物芯片电子商务方面,有几个做得不错。生物通()设有“生物芯片”专栏,详细介绍不同芯片的特点与应用,以及配套的试剂盒、制作和检测芯片的流程和相关仪器耗材试剂,还有生物芯片的有声讲座,很多从《Science》、PNAS和《Nature》等处翻译过来的应用文献资料,适合希望全面了解进口产品的读者。“生物通商城”里还有Affymetrix、Clontech、Operon等多种进口生物芯片的报价。
中国生物器材网()建有一个“生物芯片”栏目,免费供生物芯片企业刊登产品信息,所以上面的生物芯片产品信息非常齐全,方便了货比三家的消费者。
还有一个生物芯片专门,知者寥寥。这个,从构思到框架的完成,都是由一位徐独立操作的,不曾作过任何市场推广的工作。合作方是毕龙转基因公司,本身不经营生物芯片,仅为此项目提供域名和网页空间。合作之初,这个规划得很大,计划把所有的生物芯片厂家、产品和服务放到网上去,替厂家做电子商务,同时以丰富精彩的内容吸引专业网民,可是,后来的情况就出乎意外了:搭起来了,合作的公司却希望使之成为一种附庸型的,这违背初衷的结局,zui终使创建者失去了信心,虽曾想以一已之力开创格局,却是独木难行。因此,再无力更新内容,更没有资金做市场,盈利的希望化为泡影,合作双方五五分成的计划成了幻影。犹在,却是门庭冷落,生物芯片纯电子商务模式依然还只是个设想。
也许,定制芯片和自点芯片将是长期存在的市场主流,但标准化的大规模批量生产模式已被巨头垄断。谈到技术,没有一家公司没有强有力的技术背景,这是所有生物芯片公司的创业之本。然而,在市场上,他们却成了弱势群体。
中小企业不得不探索自己的市场定位,寻找新的市场开拓手段,提供与大公司不同的产品,提供大公司提供不了的服务,从而赢得自己的市场生存空间。跟国外大型公司和国内的代理公司相比,本土企业的优势之一是能提供及时而周到的服务,满足客户的需求。
用户的需求太复杂了,从2003-2004年江南生物公司上的客户留言就可见一斑:
徐:国外和国内的多家研究单位均有用到Dowcorning 公司的一种184透明硅胶,用于生物芯片,不知贵公司在做芯片时采用何种载体?
陈明:预购PKU芯片,但打不通,请告知能用的。
涂艳阳:我想知道贵公司芯片服务价目,比较急,谢谢。我想要人类表达谱芯片,或是肿瘤芯片。
为了应用生物芯片,消费者先得学习芯片技术,比较各种不同的芯片,在购买芯片产品之前必须支付相当多的时间、人力和金钱,很多公司开办论坛、技术学习班和展会,在满足广大用户的需求的同时,还有钱可赚。
大渊的“访客留言”网页上的两条留言内容值得我们关注:
寇文军(2004-7-30 9:41:34):您好!我是乌鲁木齐市南林医疗器械有限公司,我想问一下目前有那些医疗单位在使用生物芯片诊断系统.使用后诊断效果.效益如何?能否将使用单位的名单发送到我的.并将该产品的注册证号也告知我们。 Thank you!
管理员回复:已与寇过。
费友林(2004-7-16 11:17:42):不知贵公司的产品是应用在科研还是在临床医院?您们的产品都有注册证吗?我想得到详细的了解,您公司的产品已有哪些单位在用。
管理员回复:我们的产品应用于:医疗、卫生、检验、检疫等机构。
从这两条公开留言可以看出,寇文军和费友林代表的是在药品食品监管部门正式注册的医疗器械经营企业,属于医疗检测芯片和相关仪器的合法经营代理单位,医疗器械经营企业是医疗检测芯片的zui佳销售渠道。管理员代表的是医疗检测芯片研发生产企业。近几个月,大渊正在网上第二次全国招收代理商,其招商公告要求参与的医疗器械经营企业必须有《医疗器械经营企业经营许可证》。寇文军和费友林都提出了相同的两个问题:一是产品注册证,二是已有使用单位。经销商代表的是市场流通环节,他们zui关心的问题得不到满意答复,产品基本不可能走上市场;可惜医疗检测芯片还不是物美价廉的类型,否则经销企业也值得冒险一试了。
市场本地化是生物芯片市场的一大特点。提供服务与销售产品一样是市场重点,各大公司必须在各大城市设立办事处,才能在当地更好的提供服务。很多小公司也已经在大陆各大城市设立办事处。据一些市场估计,北京的市场zui大,上海第二,广州第三,武汉、成都、天津、西安等大城市的市场相差无几。
国内市场的透明度低,不仅见不到关于国内生物芯片市场的分析文章,无从得到这个市场公开资讯,就是采访芯片经营企业,很多公司都不情愿说出自己的真实销售额。由于生物芯片市场不透明,消费者、投资机构、政府部门和群众大都不明真相。
怎样才能zui大限度的削减研发成本、生产成本和营销成本呢?民营企业和外资企业必须回答。
首先是企业的定位,然后是营销战略。面对市场细分的趋势,各公司应该认认真真研究市场,回答关键的问题:我的市场在哪里?如何切入?何时切如?怎样才能抓住真正属于自己的市场?
晶美是国内zui有实力的试剂供应商,现在有了国外公司在技术、资金和市场等方面的支持,加上在北京的生产研发,正发扬其一贯稳扎稳打的作风,全力打造“晶美抗体”的国际品牌,努力成为蛋白芯片时代重要的源头供应商,在生物芯片领域后来居上。
临床检测芯片市场不是禁区,晶美就把蛋白芯片作为将来的一个重点,但切入市场的时机和切入点都比较到位。晶美的总罗敏说:“全世界的市场本身就不是很好,中国的市场尤其很糟糕,晶美现在不想挤进去。晶美不会在传统的芯片上做太多的文章,将来只会把重点放在蛋白芯片上,以及液相芯片,因为这些在国外都是比较好的,在国内也是比较新的。我们公司的兴趣还不在销售仪器上,主要在于提供试剂和长期服务。我们把自己定位在提供蛋白抗体。按美国的要求,在中国生产。为蛋白芯片公司提供蛋白,成为蛋白芯片材料供应商,也不排除与其他芯片公司联合来生产。在商业过程中,都会有些派生和衍生。”
论文、专利、产品,还没有进入市场门槛;技术、人才、投资,都需要市场的检验。希望大家多调查消费者,多研究市场,把资源和智慧更多的放到市场上。

国内市场前景难测市场决定企业生存

美国总统克林顿在1998年1月对全国的演讲中指出“未来十二年,基因芯片将为我们一生中的疾病预防指点迷津”。1998年6月27日华盛顿邮报在报道Motorola进入基因芯片领域时,认为这将造福于子孙后代。美国《财富Fortune》杂志在1997年3月重点介绍了基因芯片技术,论述了未来产业化的前景,该文预测“在2005年仅仅在美国用于基因组研究的芯片销售额将达约50亿美元,2010年有可能上升为400亿美元”。这还不包括用于疾病预防及诊治以及其它领域中的基因芯片,这部分预计比基因组研究用量还要大上百倍。
上面一段是大渊的市场前景预测所引用的陈词滥调和过时的数据。这些预测无疑都失败了──2004年全球的生物芯片市场总规模预计还不到10亿美元。
今年初,有个知名生物芯片企业的曾对笔者神侃:“艾非公司在全球销售了2,000多万张芯片,在中国仅销售了2,000多张,为全球市场的万分之一,太小了!在美国,一所大学的购买量就高达1万多张!”另一个知名企业的吹更是夸张:“去年全球生物芯片市场是几十亿美元,我们面临巨大的机会,同时也感受到巨大的压力,并且这个市场还在每年增长一倍。”
即便生物芯片的产业化进程非常缓慢,全球性垄断经营已令巨头们胜券在握,但这种所谓的高新技术的精英们种种夸张的、浪漫的、艺术性的前景预测,仍然吸引到足够的风险投资、财政投入、股市投资和产业资金,新生出大量的小公司,这些公司注定将度过艰难的、短暂的一生。
在高科技浪潮里,从IT到生物技术,一群专家、学者、海龟、人、投资商、官员总在别有用心的夸大预测新科技的潜在市场,这些人不是没有学过经济学,就是故意忘记了市场规律zui基本的法则:需求决定供给,需求是指消费者在某一特定时期内在每一价格水平时愿意而且能够购买的某种商品量。科学发现和技术创新的成本太高,价格必然高,消费者的需求肯定少,预期的高科技市场也就必然小。这些人一方面鼓吹市场很大,一方面又鼓吹大量投入,如此矛盾,是不懂市场呢,还是不懂投资?
市场调查需要付出高昂代价。一份有效的消费者详细问卷调查的成本在200元左右,一份普通的消费者调查报告也得至少耗资10万元。市场研究需要更多的花费,聘用一个市场研究员1年的费用就是10万元。市场开发需要更多的投资,几百万也只是试试水。
罗敏说:“国内生物行业里面懂市场的人非常少,懂国际市场的人就更少了,有些人从国外回来,其实并不知道国际市场,zui多会拷贝技术罢了。”
很多公司重科研,轻市场;重有形资产,轻无形资产;办公室漂漂亮亮,对群众冷冷淡淡,如何开发得出市场来?公司自己的市场部门也不知道确切的市场状况,技术来自于国外,市场分析也只是国外的二手材料,对国内的市场情况避而不谈,一见客户就讲国外的芯片市场如何大,应用如何广泛。“过几年,中国也是这个样子。”──又是画大饼的手法。如果公司老总在讲“国内的市场还没有发育起来,用户都不懂,”正表明他还没有开发新市场的能力。
虽然这个产业亏损额很大,企业都没赚钱,但个人还是有不少赚的。还些新项目能套到钱,个人利益得到满足。
国内的生物芯片企业依然遇到研发、投资和市场的三大困难。圈市场容易,卖出产品难,收到现金更难。在生物芯片这个新兴行业,一个危险的现象在上演:简单的技术引进。技术大多是引进和跟从的,需要开发比引进技术更精良的产品,价格更便宜才能赢得消费者的心,用很高的性价比和周到的服务弥补品牌的不足。国内的生物芯片企业有服务的优势,但还是需要做宣传,投广告,经营品牌,否则难以走出低价漩涡。
产品没有标准化,市场垄断性高。各企业的生物芯片标准不统一,相容性不高。大公司的系列设备与其他公司的设备不兼容,就形成市场垄断。
在国内市场上,现在有50多家公司在做与生物芯片相关的工作,在市场上有影响的公司不多,很多公司推出的技术和产品还没有找到市场,没有卖到一分钱。与其他生物产业相比,生物芯片的知名度还比较高,虽然有了小小的产业规模,但是技术不成熟,价格高,老百姓尚不能接受,市场总额很小。去年的市场就受到SARS的影响,全国都在抗SARS,研究经费大多投入到SARS研究中,人们突然间把生物芯片忘到一边去了,市场情况很不好。
当一个企业再次转型时,当一个企业因主营业务没有起色而转向另一个产品的时候,当一个企业不能突破瓶颈的时候,当一个企业的收入不能维持生存的时候,当一个企业的资金告急的时候,当一个企业的现金流一直是只出不进的
