Asia-Pacific Clinical Laboratory Services Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

A clinical laboratory is essential to an economy's healthcare system because it provides a wide range of services such as patient diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and management. These services assist healthcare professionals in making medical decisions and personalizing medications based on the needs and illnesses of individuals. Clinical laboratory services rely on technologically advanced devices and testing kits to reduce human error and provide reliable results. Several clinics are currently utilizing software programs and computers to assist patients in obtaining information about reporting results and billing for completed tests.

Clinical Laboratory Services Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Strategic partnerships and collaborations

The independent laboratories see significant consolidation as players focus on strategic partnerships and collaborations, which is expected to drive market growth. For instance, in October 2020, U-Diagnostics, a diagnostic laboratory in the Netherlands, partnered with CENTOGENE, a significant provider of COVID-19 testing in Germany, to expand COVID testing services throughout the Netherlands. Diaceutics PLC, a company focused on diagnostic network solutions for developing and commercializing precision medicine diagnostics, also patterned with Targos Molecular Pathology and HistoCyte Laboratories in July 2020 to enhance and expand diagnostic testing services in 2,500 labs worldwide. As a result, these developments fuel growth in both the studied segment and the overall clinical laboratory services market.

• Increase in geriatric population 

Life expectancy has increased significantly, particularly in developed countries, as access to better healthcare facilities and healthcare expenditures have increased. This has increased the global geriatric population. In 2010, the WHO estimated that 524 million people were 65 or older, accounting for 8% of the world's population. This figure is expected to triple by 2050, bringing the geriatric population to 1.5 billion, accounting for 16% of the global population. The increase in the geriatric population has increased in cases of age-related disorders. As a result, the number of clinical tests performed each year is increasing. People over the age of 50 are more vulnerable to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Opportunities

• Independent and reference laboratories is expected to register healthy growth

There is a huge opportunity for independent laboratories to thrive in the market in highly populated and developing countries like India and China, where a significant share of the population does not have access to proper medical diagnostic facilities, as they can fill the wide gap of clinical service providers in these regions, and thus the number of independent laboratories is increasing. According to the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) of India, there were approximately 6,200 NABL accredited medical labs in India as of November 2020, which increased to 6,975 by March 2022 due to an increase in demand for these facilities throughout the country.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of diagnostic tests

Lack of diagnostic tests may potentially restrain the market progression during the forecast period. The regulatory framework for approvals has always been a major impediment to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical technology industries' growth rates.

COVID-19 Impact on the Clinical Laboratory Services Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate to high impact on the global market. COVID-19 infection has claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide in a very short period of time. Due to the sudden increase in cases of COVID-19 infection around the world, the pandemic raised awareness about the critical importance of clinical laboratory services. This has increased clinical laboratory services, particularly in the specialized chemistry testing segment. In order to keep up with suspected COVID-19 cases, industry demand for clinical laboratory testing has increased significantly and will continue to grow at a rapid pace.

Recent Developments

• In July 2021, Deep Bio, a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) cancer diagnostics, announced a research collaboration agreement with ARUP Laboratories, a leading U.S. reference laboratory and global leader in innovative laboratory research and development,. This collaboration has benefited the company in terms of using artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics.
• In March 2022, Mindray introduced its latest BC-700 Series haematology analyzers for small-to-medium-sized labs, including complete blood count (CBC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tests.
• In September 2021, Roche Diagnostics' Indian division launched Cobas pure integrated solutions analyzer with a more intelligent system, which is especially suitable for the country's large number of labs and hospitals.
