 Clinical Laboratory Tests Market Analysis and Size

According to World Health Organization data, more than 17 million people die each year from cardiovascular disorders caused by a variety of unhealthy behaviours, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver cancer, bone disease, bile duct obstruction, and autoimmune disorders are all part of the liver panel segment. Hepatitis had the highest share in 2019, while liver cirrhosis was expected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period due to rising lifestyle disorders and tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Clinical Laboratory Tests Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Clinical laboratory test results are used in diagnostic decision making as part of clinical medicine. Clinical laboratory tests are classified into three types. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines the testing categories of tests that have been cleared for clinical use using a scoring system that considers the complexity of the testing, the stability of calibrators, controls, pre-analytical steps required, and the need for result interpretation. The test samples are analysed by a technician or your doctor to see if your results are within the normal range. Clinical laboratories are medical services that offer a wide range of research techniques to help doctors with diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and patient supervision. These labs are run by medical technologists (clinical laboratory physicists), who are qualified to conduct experiments on collections of biological samples obtained from their patients. The vast majority of clinical labs are housed within or near medical facilities, making them accessible to both doctors and patients. Clinical laboratory classifications show that these facilities can include high-quality laboratory experiments required to meet clinical and public health demands.

Global Clinical Laboratory Tests Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing geriatric population will bolster the growth rate

The growing geriatric population is expected to drive the overall clinical laboratory test market. According to the World Population Prospects: the 2019 Revision data, approximately one in every eleven people in the world were over the age of 65 in 2019, and by 2050, it is estimated that approximately one in every six people will be over the age of 65. Clinical laboratory tests are being used more and more to diagnose age-related diseases.

Furthermore, the rising rate of insufficient exercise, unhealthy food consumption, and the resulting rise in cases of obesity are expected to increase the prevalence of various chronic diseases. The growing awareness of the importance of regular body profiling among healthcare professionals and patients around the world is drive up demand for clinical laboratory tests.

• Rising prevalence of target diseases

The market is expected to benefit from the rising prevalence of target diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes during the forecast period. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Demand for point-of-care lipid testing is expected to be driven by unmet medical needs related to cardiovascular diseases and increased patient awareness. The World Health Organization predicts that cardiovascular diseases will be the leading cause of death and morbidity in 2021. In the last three decades, 17.7 million people have died from cardiovascular diseases, accounting for 31% of all fatalities worldwide.

The rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, the global smoking trend, and an unhealthy diet are among the factors contributing to the global rise in the incidence of renal and lipid-related disorders. Furthermore, as the global prevalence of diabetes rises, so does the number of patients who require clinical laboratory tests.

Opportunities

• Innovative solutions in clinical laboratory tests

Innovative solutions for improving efficiency and eliminating errors are expected to be a major rendering driver in this industry. Integrated workflow management systems, database management tools, and patient test records are becoming increasingly important in the healthcare industry, with organisations processing 100 to 150 billion samples per year. The implementation and development of data management and informatics solutions to support smooth operations are expected to drive market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• Stringent governmental guidelines will restrict the growth rate

The stringent governmental guidelines and regulations on laboratory research are the main factors limiting the market growth. The maintenance of quality of clinical laboratory products is governed by country specific regulatory bodies. These bodies ensure protection from risks caused by flaws in design, technology, packaging, and manufacturing of the equipment or peripherals.

• Ambiguous regulatory framework

The healthcare industry relies heavily on regulatory frameworks established by organisations such as the FDA and EMA in the United States. There are no specific regulatory requirements for the diagnostic business in emerging markets such as China and India. Laboratory-designed tests (LDTs) are tests developed in-house clinical laboratories that provide accurate and timely results. LDT risks could reduce profit margins and cause delays in the marketing of newly designed tests. This factor is impeding the global clinical laboratory tests market's growth.
