Almost every chemical component in blood or urine can be detected and measured using a variety of medical trials. Possible components are blood glucose, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, lipids or fats, various metabolic chemicals, and proteins.
Medical lab testing is an essential component of high-quality health care. Physician or other clinician orders lab exams to diagnose, treat or monitor a patient's condition. The method begins with the collection of a sample of the patient's blood, tissue, or other biological matter, which is then taken to a laboratory where it is individually recognized and evaluated to ensure that it is acceptable for the trials ordered by the health care practitioner.
The demand for medical lab tests is growing as more physicians recognize the importance of lab trials in confirming the diagnosis and monitoring their patients' responses for treatment. Clinical lab trials are also used to screen and surveillance diseases significant to public health. COVID-19 rising local prevalence had a significant impact on laboratory tests operations. Laboratory tests relevant to COVID-19 diagnoses and management saw increased volume during the pandemic. To identify positive COVID-19 cases, initiation of treatment and management strategies contributed to the demand for medical lab testing.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
High prevalence of chronic and acute diseases, growth in the geriatric population, development of technologically advanced products, and increase in healthcare expenditure are driving the global clinical laboratory tests market.
The rising cases of cardiovascular diseases accelerate the market's growth. An unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and harmful alcohol use are some of the most behavioral risk factors of heart disease and stroke. Molecular diagnostic tests increase as they provide rapid viral detection in patient samples. They are also relatively inexpensive therefore propelling the clinical laboratory tests market demand.

Insight by Type
The metabolic clinical lab tests segment held the largest share in the global market in 2021, owing to the rising prevalence of diabetes and other live-borne diseases. This is primarily due to tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use.
Lipid panel tests are expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period due to rising cases of cardiovascular disease. According to the statistics provided by World Health Organization, an estimated 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2019. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. Tobacco cessation, salt reduction in the diet, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, regular physical activity, and avoidance of problematic alcohol use have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Insight by End-Use
Based on end-use, central labs held a significant market share in 2021. Factors driving the demand for the central lab include an increase in the number of diseases, developments in novel medicines and pharmaceuticals, and a significant number of research grants, proposals, and financing from governments to develop new testing processes. Additionally, the increase in the number of cancer people is driving the central lab segment forward.
The primary clinic's segment is projected to witness the highest market growth rate over the forecast period due to growing awareness of physicians recognizing the importance of laboratory tests in confirming the diagnosis and monitoring their patients' responses for treatment.
Geographic Overview
North America accounted for the largest share of the global clinical laboratory tests market in 2021. North America is likely to gain prominence due to the rising healthcare sector, advancement in clinical infrastructure, and rising geriatric population in Canada. Additionally, the increasing number of cancer cases is also fueling the demand for the market. According to National Cancer Institute, by 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness considerable market growth over the forecast period. Given the rising relevance of clinical research to the local economy, local authorities are encouraging continued growth in Asia's scientific foundation and competencies. There are centralized healthcare institutions, highly qualified and motivated investigators, and excellent clinical trials. Clinical trial units and study coordinators assist with trials.
