The clinical laboratory tests market is witnessing growth due to factors such as the rising geriatric population, the growing prevalence of target diseases, and the introduction of innovative solutions to meet the growing demand of the market for clinical tests. The healthcare and diagnostics industry has been largely impacted by the spread of COVID-19. The clinical laboratory tests market has witnessed adverse effects of the pandemic. For instance, LabCorp experienced a decline in overall sales of 8.9% in 2020. This can also be attributed to the overall decline in the number of routine health checkups during the pandemic, leading to a decrease in the number of clinical chemistry tests conducted. However, the number of tests conducted has rebounded to normal, which implies that COVID-19 pandemic has had no long-term adverse impact on the market.
According to the WHO, life expectancy is now exceeding 80 years in most developed economies. Aging is influenced by the interaction of several environmental and genetic factors that affect immunity and metabolism, affecting the function of organs, and is characterized as a substantial risk factor for infectious disease development. Thus, screening and diagnostics can play an important role in the management of overall health. Thus, with an increase in the geriatric population, the need for acute and long-term healthcare is also rising, thereby driving the growth of the global market.
Moreover, the introduction of innovative solutions for maximizing efficiency and minimizing errors is expected to serve this market as a high-impact rendering driver. Integrated workflow management systems, database management tools, and patient test records are gaining importance in the healthcare industry, with companies processing as many as 100 to 150 billion samples per year. Implementation and development of data management and informatics solutions for facilitating smooth operations are expected to drive the growth of this market.
However, the market growth is restrained by the ambiguous regulatory framework associated with clinical laboratory tests. The healthcare industry is largely dependent on regulatory frameworks established by organizations such as the U.S. FDA and EMA. There are no clear regulatory guidelines for the diagnostic sector in developing countries such as China and India. The FDA has the authority to regulate laboratory-developed tests that refer to delivering efficient and rapid results and in-house clinical laboratories developing tests. Risks associated with LDTs may have a negative effect on profit margins and may lead to delays in commercialization of newly developed tests.
