Global Healthcare Analytical Testing Services Market: Introduction

Health care analytics refers to analysis related to healthcare by collecting data from mainly four areas of healthcare such as claims and cost data, pharmaceutical and research & development data, clinical data, and patients' behavior and sentiments data. The primary objective of performing healthcare analytics is to gain insights into hospital management, patient records, costs, and diagnosis in order to systemize the process and obtain required data for development of overall healthcare sector. Moreover, analytical testing plays a critical role in end-to-end process of drug development and manufacturing.

Global Healthcare Analytical Testing Services Market: Dynamics

Increasing focus of pharmaceutical manufacturers towards the adoption of quality by design (QbD) and rising preference for outsourcing analytical testing in order to reduce time and cost of overall process are among some of the major factors expected to drive growth of the global healthcare analytical testing services market.

In addition, increasing number of public and private contracts and agreements for research and development outsourcing is another factor expected to further boost growth of the global healthcare analytical testing services market to a certain extent.

However, lack of skilled professionals is a major factor that could hamper growth of the global healthcare analytical testing services market to some extent.

Increasing investments on R&D initiatives by major players and rising demand for specialized analytical testing services are expected to create revenue opportunities for key players operating in the global market over the forecast period.

Going by an optimistic scenario, revenue from the global healthcare analytical testing services market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 14.3% and reach a value of over US$ 10.8 Bn in 2027. This projected growth is attributed to rising penetration of AI in healthcare applications, increasing demand for specialized analytical testing services – such as bioanalytical testing services and batch release testing services – in developing countries, and increasing life-science R&D activities and initiatives.  In addition, likely and conservative scenarios indicate CAGR of 12.7% and value of over US$ 9.4 Bn, and CAGR of 11.1% and value of over US$  8.1 Bn respectively for the same forecast period.

Global Healthcare Analytical Testing Services Market Analysis, by Service Type

Among the service type segments, the bioanalytical testing services segment is estimated to account for moderate revenue share and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.  The batch release testing services segment is estimated to account for the second major revenue share in the global market.
