Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The data for clinical laboratories is managed, recorded, and stored using a laboratory information system (LIS) software. This technology makes it easier to order lab tests, transmit them to the instruments in the lab, and track and record the results in a searchable database. It is widely used in hospitals, clinics, independent laboratories, and other settings to maintain data monitoring and management, track data quality, maintain security, and bill end users.

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increased Requirement of Laboratory Automation

The determinants such as the lack of laboratory personnel and the need for manual intervention in lab procedures can both be effectively addressed by laboratory automation. The automation of the ordinary lab processes with the use of dedicated workstations and instrument-programming software further boosts the lab efficiency. Individual researchers are free to concentrate on crucial tasks and produce high-quality data. Automation in the lab increases accuracy while reducing human error caused by routine chores like pipetting and shifting plates. Laboratory information systems greatly facilitate, advance, and improve the productivity and efficiency of laboratory procedures, which effectively meet this demand.

• Growth in Healthcare Expenditure

The need for LIS systems is being driven by an increase in healthcare expenditure in both established and significant developing nations, as increased spending gives healthcare facilities more purchasing power, which encourages the use of LIS. For instance, it is anticipated that between 2019 and 2028, US healthcare expenditure will increase at a rate of 5.4%. The cost of healthcare was approximately $4 trillion in 2020 and is anticipated to increase to $6.19 trillion by 2028. The boost in healthcare expenditure further positively impacts the laboratory information systems (LIS) market.

The growth in global disposable income and urbanization further bolsters the market’s growth rate. The surge in the sedentary lifestyle will further accelerate the market's overall growth. Moreover, the increase in lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension, cancers, and diabetes also further bolsters the market’s growth rate over the forecast period.

Opportunities

• Emergence Of Cloud-Based Services

The emergence of cloud-based services is estimated to generate lucrative opportunities for the market, which will further expand the future laboratory information systems (LIS) market's growth rate. The cloud-based laboratory information systems (LIS) solutions don't need any upfront capital investments for hardware, which eases the load on healthcare systems, decreases the need for IT workers, and offers quick and safe data transfer. Adopting cloud-based solutions assists to manage the massive amounts of data produced by these operations and lower the overall cost of ownership of the system. Moreover, the advantages such improved data accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and real-time analysis further provides major growth potential for the market.

• Increment in Market Expansion Strategies

Additionally, the various strategies the market players adopt further offer numerous growth opportunities within the market. The massive laboratory information systems (LIS) investments, the growing demand for customized systems with data security features, and the availability of cutting-edge platforms are all projected to open up new market growth opportunities. The market is expected to increase as a result of rising laboratory automation adoption and research and development advancements, notably in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Cost of Service and Maintenance

The high maintenance and service expenses associated with the system is one of the significant growth limitation for the market. The maintenance costs of IT solutions exceeds the cost of the product itself. Moreover, the cost of service and maintenance, which includes adapting the software to changing user needs, is recurring and accounts for roughly 20-30% of the overall cost of ownership. Additionally, the expenditures associated with training and implementation add up to about 15% of the final cost. Consequently, the small and medium-sized laboratories cannot invest in these systems, which restricts their acceptance.

• Concerns Regarding Data Breach

A significant issue that could impede market expansion is the growing concern over the leak of private patient data from healthcare facilities as a result of cyberattacks. For instance, between July 2020 and June 2021, ransomware and other assaults resulted in the theft of more than 3.34 million healthcare records on an average monthly basis in the US. Patient names, residences, diagnoses, contact information, and insurance details are among the information that was released. Due to network outages brought on by ransomware attacks in 2020, the American health services business UHS suffered a loss of approximately $67 million. For up to $1,000 per, these documents can be purchased and utilized for nefarious purposes like insurance fraud and the falsification of passports. The possibility of the data breach is therefore estimated to be significant challenge for the laboratory information systems (LIS) market over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market

The laboratory information systems (LIS) market was positively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. For COVID-19 research, diagnostic or research laboratories must manage several steps (such as test management, sample handling, inventory control, packaging, and shipment modules). This will probably lead to an increase in the use of LIS and other informatics solutions. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the Belgium national reference testing center has used laboratory information systems to run more than 25,000 COVID PCR tests concurrently with routine standard testing, according to a study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association in August 2020. Additionally, businesses have started offering laboratory informatics, particularly for the COVID-19 testing.

For instance, Lab Vantage’s COVID-19 LIMS is a robust, flexible, and simple-to-use system that can be quickly modified to meet the increasing demand for diagnostic testing in PHLs and the flexibility to manage workflows for different types of testing. As a result, the need for laboratory informatics has increased throughout the pandemic as a result of LIMS's ability to manage the enormous amount of testing samples during the COVID, prevent manual errors, and streamline the process.
