Strategic Directions International (SDi) is the leading business intelligence firm in the highly specialized field of analytical and life science instruments. Its client list includes virtually every major analytical instrumentation company in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Founded in 1981, the Los Angeles-based company has published hundreds of market reports and provided proprietary consulting services for a multitude of clients.

In September 2014, SDi was acquired by BioInfomatics LLC, the leading research and advisory firm serving life science markets. As of 2018, both companies operate independently as members of the Science and Medicine Group. However, since the content of market research publications produced by SDi and Bioinformatics is often complementary, collaboration on certain aspects of their development and/or marketing is not uncommon.
