CPIC, the Canadian Photonic Industry Consortium is a business-led photonics exchange organization embracing the whole value chain from researchers to photonic companies and end-users. Its mandate is to network end-users, photonic industries, universities and institutions with the objective of accelerating the growth of the Canadian industry through photonics.
On March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) reported that the "Biophotonics Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. They concluded that the global biophotonics market grew at a CAGR of around 11% during 2014-2019. Looking forward, they concluded that the global biophotonics market will continue its strong growth during the next five years.
In early January this year 2021 Photonics Online was promoting a webinar on Biophotonics applied to point of care. This Webinar was presenting the use of optical approaches outside specialized laboratories that require easy-to-use optical instruments with a high technology readiness level for the user. The application of spectroscopic methods to address biomedical research has grown due to advancements in instrumentation and an enhanced cross-disciplinary dialogue between spectroscopists and end users like clinicians.
Photonics devices are used in Biophotonics and here are some of them sensors, lasers, and spectroscopy devices. Microscopes have been a tool for observing the biological material for ages.
Canada's life sciences and bio-manufacturing sector is a priority for the current government that goes beyond responding to COVID-19. This is an important component of Canada's plan to build domestic resilience and improve long-term pandemic preparedness It is also a growing sector that supports thousands of good, middle class jobs.
