U.S. CLINICAL LABORATORY TEST MARKET SEGMENTATION

The U.S. clinical laboratory test market research report includes a detailed segmentation by test complexity, providers, test type. Providers including POLs, hospital-based laboratories, and independent laboratories that perform CLIA-waived tests are gaining popularity in the country. An increasing number of innovative CLIA-waived tests will greatly expand access to beneficial clinical diagnostic testing across the US. From patient presentation to result in availability, the CBC test sets a standard for speed, with more than 16+ tests available in under five minutes, making it the most utilized lab test in the US.

According to the estimations of CMS, there are approximately 9,100 hospital-based laboratories in the country. The hospitals maintain on-site laboratories and perform laboratory tests for in-patient and outpatients with a significant majority. The profitability of the hospital laboratories rose to 85% due to the hospital outreach programs. Approximately 80% of the tests performed in the physician office labs are waived tests, and the provider performed microscopy.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, physician office laboratories have a mild positive impact due to COVID-19.

Immunology and serology tests are witnessing increasing demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The trend of early diagnosis and the disease management awareness among the population in the US are the major factors attributing to the increase in test volumes in the clinical and immunochemistry segment. The U.S. clinical laboratory test market by clinical and immunochemistry is expected to reach around USD 55 billion by 2026.
