Aging Population & Paradigm Shift to Preventive Healthcare to Drive the Global Clinical Laboratory Services Market


Global Clinical Laboratory Services market is projected to reach US$127 billion by 2024, driven by increasing geriatric population, and the shift in healthcare delivery to preventive healthcare. Clinical Laboratory Services represent a vital component in the healthcare system. Tests carried out at these labs form the basis of diagnosis and medical decision for physicians across the globe. Clinical lab test repertoire includes a wide range of tests from most simple to complex ones, including routine urine and blood tests, molecular expression testing, and high-end genetic analysis, which help assess risk of developing a disease, its presence and progress. Several factors including aging population, increasing patient awareness of disease diagnosis, rising incidence of chronic conditions due to changing lifestyles, and advancements in the area of proteomics and genomics, are driving growing in the market. Technological advancements in terms of novel test areas such as novel genetic tests, companion diagnostics and molecular testing coupled with the emergence of affordable laboratory automation technologies are also fueling growth. Growing availability of accurate and specialized tests, supported by advancements in molecular biology and genomics, in areas such as oncology, gynecology and endocrinology are bolstering the test repertoire.

There is increased investment in laboratory equipment, given the need for processing large volumes of patient samples in a single cycle without affecting accuracy of the analysis. Popularity of preventive healthcare and as well as evidence-based medicine; growing trend towards disease risk analysis across a wide range of medical areas, including gynecology and cardiology, by leveraging advances in in-vitro tests, will continue to drive test volumes and market revenues. Routine tests lead the market, while esoteric or specialized test lead growth in terms of revenues. The market is shifting in favor of services that enable collection, analysis and delivery of accurate information to physicians enabling quicker, timely and precise medical decisions. Hospital-based Laboratories continue to be the location where majority of clinical testing is carried out, dominating the global market in terms of testing volumes and revenues generated. However, independent laboratories are spearheading growth, driven by their ability to offer routine tests at lower costs, hospitals’ shift towards reducing in-house tests and focus on outsourcing, and the ability to offer complex esoteric tests.  An interesting but mixed trend, especially in developed markets has been the evolution of the outreach programs of Hospital-based Laboratories. While outreach programs can be used to improve volumes and achieve scale, very few hospitals have resources or strategies to achieve the same, as many hospitals view clinical laboratories as non-core services. Some hospitals are identifying the opportunities, and have been developing their outreach programs to improve revenues, while others have been outsourcing their outreach programs to Independent Laboratories or selling their outreach programs.

As stated by the new market research report on Clinical Laboratory Services, the United States represents the largest market worldwide, supported by well entrenched healthcare infrastructure, high prevalence of chronic diseases, growing awareness of health, and technological advancements in diagnostic services. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.3% through the analysis period led by vast unmet medical needs; lower current clinical testing levels; improving healthcare infrastructure; increasing incomes and healthcare per capita spending; growing prevalence of chronic and life-threatening diseases as a result of rapid economic growth, urbanization and the ensuing spread of unhealthy lifestyles; and the gradual transition to pro-healthy lifestyles.

Key players in the market include ADICON Clinical Laboratories, Inc., ARUP Laboratories, Bio-Reference Laboratories, Inc., DaVita, Inc., Enzo Clinical Labs, Genova Diagnostics, Inc., Kingmed Diagnostics, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Dynacare, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, NeoGenomics Laboratories, Genoptix, Inc., Quest Diagnostics, Inc., Sonic Healthcare Limited, Bioscientia Institut für Medizinische Diagnostik GmbH, American Esoteric Laboratories, Spectra Laboratories, Inc., SYNLAB International GmbH, The National Health Laboratory Service, Thyrocare Technologies Limited, and Unilabs SA among others.
