Clinical laboratories provide information and services that contribute to maximizing the delivery of diagnostics and results of testing in the health care system. It ensures and provides correct and accurate test results, which allow doctors, through various health resources, to make the right therapeutic and diagnose decisions. Professionals are helped to initiate, adjust and also stop treatment in the absence of services in the clinical laboratory. ARC noted that an increasing number of clinical laboratory services providers are working to offer better services to meet current end-user requirements. The top players aim to compete against their competitors by providing clinical laboratory services that can diagnose emerging disease threats. In addition, focusing on capacity building can be an integral part of a robust strategy for global laboratory service players.

Market Dynamics

Increasing the incidence rates of diabetes, cancer and other infectious diseases are leading to a new emerging market in clinical laboratory services; increasing the patient pool, there is increased demand for clinical laboratory services. In addition, these services are cost-effective and the least invasive clinical decision-making method. These medical technologies offer flexibility in the management of health care through early diagnosis that improves the treatment of diseases. Additionally, new technologies which provide faster analysis and operate user-friendly boost the growth of clinical laboratory services on the market. However, the market growth is impaired by factors such as lack of reimbursement, lack of skilled workers and rigorous government policies. In addition, Awareness in the global laboratory services market is growing in the early diagnosis of conditions in gynecology, endocrinology and oncology. The growing population of those who are less immune to infectious diseases and the increased number of the elderly who experience cardiovascular and neurological diseases benefited the growth of the market. New opportunities have arisen for the market with the introduction of technologically advanced products, including microarrays, companion diagnostics and biochips.

Segmentation Insights

Due to the wide use for urine, plasm, serum and other body fluid testing, the clinical chemistry test segment accounted for the highest revenue share. The segment growth is expected to improve the tests by introducing new markers and applications to the existing markers. The maximum CAGR amid the forecast phase should be seen in the medical microbiology & cytology segment. The growing cases of nosocoms, viral infections, fungal infections and parasite infections can be attributed. Furthermore, the developed microbe research accelerated the development and subsequent decrease in sequencing technology costs to further drive the market. Next Generation Sequencing Technology (NGS) helps microbiologists to obtain information about the role of specific microbes in pathogenesis, thereby streamlining their portfolio of laboratory services.

The market has been divided into hospital, clinic and stand alone laboratories on the basis of the service provider. As digital pathology gradually becomes acceptable, independent laboratories are expected in the forecast period to serve as a lucrative revenue source. Integrating digital workflows to enable large volumes of diagnostic tests to be handled quickly provides the service provider with economies of scale. In addition, the growing trend in disease monitoring in retail clinics is projected to influence the segment growth positively. The ability of hospitals to acquire new technology and recruit trained staff in their disease testing units contributed to the largest income generation in the hospital laboratory segment. Furthermore, the fact that clinical laboratories are a critical unit in every hospital also helped the segment to grow.

Clinical laboratory services market is driven by the increase in the incidence of infectious and chronic diseases

The globally increasing demand for better diagnostics for a number of disease types drives the global market for clinical laboratory services to help guide therapeutic decisions for improvement in medical outcomes. In various developed and developed countries there is growing demand in the market of clinical laboratory services for advanced diagnostics of infectious and chronic diseases.
