Miniaturization is transforming the world of electronics and this has led to the increase in businesses around the world. The adoption of technologies such as nanotechnology and micro-technologies in numerous end-user industries is changing the landscape and positively influencing the implementation of a procedure in businesses. Healthcare is one industry that is using such technologies exuberantly. Integrating micro and nanotechnologies in the healthcare segment is optimizing microbiological process, biochemical process, and clinical diagnostics. Clinical diagnostics covers vast branches such as blood, glucose, hemoglobin, and HIV. According to the World Health Organization, globally, 36.9 million individuals were living with HIV at the end of 2017, and the same year witnessed the death of 940,000 individuals. Additionally, 1.6 million casualties occurred in 2016 due to diabetes while another 2.2 million suffered from the same. The growing incidences of diseases, as stated above, support the dire need for ethical, efficient and fast diagnostic systems. Microfluidics is an electronic device that is used for diagnostics purposes. Microfluidics, also known as lab-on-chip, is used for micro total analysis that assists in chemical and biological analysis. This technology is mostly applied in the healthcare sector that deals with the study of the flow of fluids through microscopic or miniscule channels. It can be explained by managing the manipulation and control of fluids at a sub-millimeter scale. Microfluidics involves formulation, manufacture, and designing of processes and devices which further deals with an exceptionally low volume of fluid. This ultimately helps in optimizing control of laboratory processing, analytical techniques, and instrument handling. Technical advancements in the genomics and proteomics field are anticipated to lead to growth of the Microfluidics Market, which was valued at $5.15 billion in 2018. In line with the increases in investments and technical upgrades, the global microfluidics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.3% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025.
