The global clinical laboratory services market size was valued at USD 200.1 billion in 2020 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of approximately 4.65% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising prevalence of diabetes, cancer, respiratory disorders, and other contagious diseases and increase vulnerability of geriatric population to chronic disorders and syndrome.
Clinical laboratory, also known as a medical laboratory, is a place where various tests are performed on clinical samples to gather health information of patients that help identify pathological conditions, diagnosis, treatments, and cure and/or treat of diseases and disorders. These laboratories are operated by medical professionals who have expertise to carry out different tests on biological specimens collected from the patients. Medical technologists engaged in clinical laboratories collect samples of blood, stool, urine, DNA, tissues, and cells examine pathophysiology of diseases to prevent help treat them and prevent epidemics.
Laboratories provide precise test report attributed to technologically improved devices and advance testing kits, which offer reliable result and lessen human mistakes. Clinical laboratory tests are precise procedure to recognize and characterize the various biomarkers of chronic disorders and for the identification of causative agents of infectious diseases. According to the report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on tuberculosis (TB) in 2018, TB was one of the top 10 causes of death across the globe. It claimed lives of 1.5 million people, while approximately 10 million people suffered from it.

Based on test types, the global clinical laboratory services market is divided into human & tumor genetics, clinical chemistry, medical microbiology & cytology, and other esoteric tests. The clinical chemistry segment held a major share of the market, in terms of revenue, in 2020 and this trend is anticipated to continue in the coming years. The presence of various clinical chemistry tests methods, development of advanced technology, diverse sampling procedures, and advent of point-of-care testing procedures are anticipated to fuel the segment during the forecast period.
In February 2020, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics introduced a clinical chemistry technology that concluded desegregated Vitros XT line, which was developed to perform mostly all types of laboratory tests. However, the human & tumor genetics segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to rising demand for early stage cancer diagnosis, as a result of increasing prevalence of cancer. In 2017, the US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) approved FoundationOne CD, a genomic test employed for detection of cancer-associated 324 genes in solid tumor. Furthermore, rising demand for proficient tests in early stage cancer diagnosis and major infectious diseases is expected to drive the segment, as genetic tests offer precise and accurate results.
On the basis of service providers, the global clinical laboratory services market is classified as hospital-based laboratories, stand-alone laboratories, and clinic-based laboratories. The hospital-based laboratories segment constituted a major share of the market, in terms of revenue, in 2020 and is estimated to continue to dominant share of the market a large number of patients are getting tested for chronic disorders. The stand-alone laboratories segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to rising patient preference for stand-alone diagnostic facilities.
In terms of applications, the market is classified as bioanalytical & lab chemistry services, toxicology testing services, cell & gene therapy related services, preclinical & clinical trials related services, drug discovery & development related services, and others. The bioanalytical & lab chemistry services segment accounted for dominant market share in 2020 and is expected to represent major share of the market from 2021 to 2028. The growth of market can be attributed to rising number of novel molecule for clinical trials. Technologies such as chromatography, mass spectroscopy, immunochemistry, molecular & serological biological testing, ELISA, and SDS-PAGE are techniques that are expected to boost the segment during the forecast period.
