Johnsee Lee says that according to US market research estimates, the worldwide annual consumption of microarray chips is currently around 250,000; in two years this is expected to grow to 1.2 million. Based on a market price per chip of US $ 1,000, the size of the world market in biochips could grow to US $ 1.2 billion in 2003, and to US $ 40 billion over the next decade.
李鍾熙指出，根據美國市場研究的估計，目前全球的微陣列生物晶片用量約二十五萬片，兩年後，預估成長到一百二十萬片，以一片一千美元的市價估算，到西元二○○三年，會有十二億美元的規模，而全球生物晶片市場十年後將可成長到四百億美元的規模。
