What is Rat Model Market?
The rats are the most common species used for experimental purpose. These rat models are used to understand the disease mechanisms and preclinical testing of therapeutics. The cost effectiveness and ease of handling has enhanced the surgical procedures due to their large size. Moreover, the rats are the great model for cardiovascular disease, especially for stroke and hypertension. Therefore, the rising need of research and development are increasing the demand of rat models.
The market study is being classified by Type (Inbred, Outbred, Knockout, Hybrid and Others), by Application (Research and Development (Infectious Disease, Immunological Diseases, Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, Genetic Diseases, Neurological Diseases, Others), Production and Quality Control, Academics and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
Envigo (United Kingdom), Charles River Laboratories International Inc. (United States), Taconic Biosciences Inc. (United States), The Jackson Laboratory (United States), Covance Inc. (United States), Janvier Labs (France), Harbour Antibodies Bv (United States), Transgenic Inc. (Japan), Genoway S.A. (France) and Sage Labs Inc. (United States) are some of the key players profiled in the study. Additionally, the Players which are also part of the research are Ingenious Targeting Laboratory (United States).
Research Analyst at AMA predicts that United States Players will contribute to the maximum growth of Global Rat Model market throughout the predicted period.
