The central lab market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.8 billion in 2023 to $3.04 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to heightened growth in clinical trials, increased activities in drug development, adherence to regulatory compliance, a surge in healthcare research, and growth in diagnostic testing.
The central lab market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.15 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prominence of personalized healthcare, a growing focus on biomarker research, an increasing demand for telemedicine and remote monitoring, global health challenges prompting advancements, and a surging demand for precision diagnostics. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, the introduction of innovative solutions, and strategic collaborations in the healthcare sector.
The anticipated increase in clinical trials is poised to drive growth in the central lab market. Clinical trials, crucial for assessing the safety and efficacy of new treatments and medical devices, prompt pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to outsource central labs for testing and development. As of July 2022, ClinicalTrials.gov reported 422,646 clinical trials, up from 399,523 in 2021, indicating a surge in trial activities. This upward trend in clinical trials is expected to positively impact the central lab market.
The surge in chronic diseases is forecasted to contribute to the expansion of the central lab market. Chronic diseases, persistent conditions that can be managed but not cured, lead to a substantial patient pool requiring continuous testing and monitoring. In January 2022, research from the American Cancer Society revealed projections of 609,360 cancer deaths and 1.9 million new cases in the US for 2022. The prevalence of chronic diseases, exemplified by these statistics, propels the demand for central lab services, thereby fostering market growth.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the central lab market. Key industry players prioritize the development of innovative technological solutions to enhance their market positioning. For instance, in December 2021, Instron, a leading US-based manufacturer of cutting-edge materials testing equipment, introduced the BluehillCentral Lab management software.
