Global Clinical Laboratory Services Market Report 2021: Molecular Diagnostics Promising Growth Opportunities - Forecast to 2024

Dublin, March 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Clinical Laboratory Services - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global market for Clinical Laboratory Services is projected to reach US$ 126.7 billion by 2024, driven by the rapidly growing test volumes compounded by aging population and the ongoing trend towards preventive healthcare.

In addition to aging population, other factors responsible for the massive increase in patient specimens tested in labs and the ensuing demand for clinical lab testing services include increased diseases surveillance and screening supported by government public health screening policies; rise in new strains of infectious diseases; epidemic spread of chronic diseases such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction and the need for routine diagnostics in long-term disease management; rise in cancer and robust demand for clinical molecular diagnostics to detect pathogenic mutations in DNA; and expanding base of state/local public and private health labs.

Also driving growth in the market are several other factors such as increasing patient awareness over the importance of timely disease diagnosis; rising incidence of chronic conditions due to changing lifestyles; advancements in the area of proteomics and genomics; development of novel genetic tests, companion diagnostics and molecular testing; and rising CAPEX in affordable laboratory automation technologies.

The growing focus shed on overall healthcare cost reduction is resulting in increased outsourcing of laboratory services. Outsourcing offers significant cost benefits for hospitals as it eliminates the need to invest in expensive laboratory automation equipment which is critical for timely processing of large volumes of patient samples in a single cycle without compromising analytical accuracy.

The United States represents the largest market worldwide, supported by well-developed healthcare infrastructure, advancements in diagnostic services, and committed pursuit of excellence in diagnostic services.

Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.3% through the analysis period led by vast unmet medical needs; high untapped potential due to lower current clinical testing levels; improving healthcare infrastructure; increasing income and healthcare per capita spending; growing prevalence of chronic and life-threatening diseases as a result of rapid economic growth, urbanization and the ensuing spread of unhealthy lifestyles; and the gradual transition to pro-healthy lifestyles.
