Clinical Laboratory Tests Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (CBC, HGB/HCT, BMP, BUN Creatinine, Electrolyte Testing, HbA1c, CMP, Liver Panel, Renal Panel, Lipid Panel), By End Use, And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview

The global clinical laboratory tests market size was valued at USD 176.7 billion in 2019. It is expected to register a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and rising awareness among health-conscious population have fueled the growth of the overall market.

The demand for clinical laboratory tests is driven by growing investments in diagnosing target diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, tuberculosis, and diabetes. Clinical laboratory tests help diagnose diabetes mellitus. According to an article published by the International Diabetes Federation in 2019, around 463 million adults were living with diabetes, and by 2045 it is estimated to reach 700 million globally.

Increasing geriatric population is anticipated to drive the overall market for clinical laboratory tests. According to the data published by the World Population Prospects: the 2019 Revision, around one in 11 people were aged over 65 years in 2019, and by 2050, it is estimated that approximately one in 6 people in the world will be aged 65 years and above. Clinical laboratory tests are increasingly used to diagnose age-related diseases.

Moreover, growing rate of insufficient exercise, consumption of unhealthy food, and the subsequent rise in cases of obesity are expected to increase the prevalence of various chronic diseases. Rising awareness of the necessity of regular body profiling among healthcare professionals and patients globally is expected to increase the demand for clinical laboratory tests.

End-use Insights

Based on end use, the market for clinical laboratory tests has been segmented into primary clinics and central laboratories. In 2019, central laboratories dominated the market. Presence of several central laboratories such as Phoenix Lab, Q2 Solutions, CIRION BioPharma Research Inc., Pharmaceutical Product Development, LLC, Covance Inc., and Eurofins Scientific would contribute to the growth of the central laboratories segment.

The primary clinics segment is estimated to register a significant growth rate over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for rapid test results. Growing awareness about laboratory tests in clinics among patients and physicians is estimated to drive the segment over the forecast period. Introduction of key technological advancements such as portable and rapid analyzers is also expected to drive the segment growth.

Type Insights

On the basis of type, the clinical laboratory tests market has been segmented into complete comprehensive metabolic panel tests, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP), HGB/HCT tests, HbA1c tests, BUN creatinine tests, electrolytes testing, renal panel tests, liver panel tests, and lipid panel tests.

Basic metabolic tests accounted for a significant share of the global market for clinical laboratory tests in 2019 owing to the increasing prevalence of lifestyle-induced diseases, including metabolic abnormalities and obesity. Lipid panel tests is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period due to increasing awareness about the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders and diabetes.

According to data published by the World Health Organization, more than 17 million people die from cardiovascular disorders each year due to various unhealthy behaviors, increased blood pressure, and blood cholesterol rates.

The liver panel segment has been further divided into liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver cancer, bone disease, bile duct obstruction, and autoimmune disorders. In 2019, hepatitis held maximum share whereas the liver cirrhosis segment was estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period owing to increasing lifestyle disorders and rising consumption of tobacco and alcohol.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the global market for clinical laboratory tests in 2019. Rising penetration of advanced diagnostic techniques and increasing test volumes support the dominance of the regional market. In addition, increasing geriatric population, rising incidences of cancer, and growing penetration of advanced diagnostic techniques are expected to drive the demand for clinical laboratory tests.

Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period owing to improvement in healthcare infrastructure supporting the implementation of advanced diagnostic technologies in emerging markets of China and India. Moreover, the presence of untapped opportunities in the form of unmet medical needs, positive economic growth, and increasing avenues of scientific research are some of the primary drivers for the Asia Pacific market for clinical laboratory tests.

Clinical Laboratory Tests Market Share Insights

Key players in the market for clinical laboratory tests include Abbott; ARUP Laboratories; OPKO Health, Inc.; Bioscientia Institut für Medizinische Diagnostik GmbH; Charles River; NeoGenomics Laboratories, Inc.; Genoptix, Inc.; Healthscope Ltd.; Labco; Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (LabCorp); Fresenius Medical Care; QIAGEN; Quest Diagnostics; Siemens Healthcare Private Limited; Tulip Diagnostics (P) Ltd.; Sonic Healthcare; Merck KgaA; and Biosino Bio-technology and Science Inc.
