- Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), designed to manage and streamline laboratory operations through electronic data processing and storage, are becoming essential tools in modern diagnostic and clinical laboratories across the Middle East and Africa, enhancing workflow efficiency, patient data accuracy, and compliance with regulatory standards
- The growing demand for LIS is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an increasing volume of diagnostic tests, and the push toward healthcare digitalization and automation in countries such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Egypt
- Saudi Arabia dominated the Middle East and Africa laboratory information systems (LIS) market with the largest revenue share of 28.9% in 2024, driven by robust healthcare initiatives under Vision 2030, significant investment in digital health technologies, and widespread implementation of LIS across major public and private hospitals
- Nigeria is expected to be the fastest growing country in the laboratory information systems (LIS) market during the forecast period, propelled by improvements in diagnostic infrastructure, growing public health needs, and increased international funding for healthcare digitization
- The cloud-based LIS segment dominated the laboratory information systems (LIS) market with a share of 46.1% in 2024, driven by its cost-efficiency, scalability, and remote access capabilities, which are particularly beneficial for extending advanced laboratory services across geographically dispersed and underserved regions
