Market Trends of Global Laboratory Information System Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Laboratory Information System Market according to our research experts:
Cloud-based Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Laboratory Information System Market
The cloud-based segment will dominate in the LIS market, as with the cloud-based setup, data can be accessed by multiple locations and multiple systems, and from multiple branches. Thus, all these factors are augmenting the growth of cloud-based mode of delivery.
The cloud-based solution is a comparatively newer approach and is mostly used by organizations that lack the internal infrastructure to support them. The installation cost for these systems is lower than the on-premise systems. Moreover, this software eradicates the need for in-house maintenance and minimizes the risk of data theft by providing a secure platform for information sharing, which is likely to be the prime factor driving their increasing demand.
Many of the companies are continuously engaged in the market studied by adopting new strategies such as product development, partnership, etc., which are expected to drive the market studied in this segment. For instance, in October 2020, GoMeyra, an innovative new software company dedicated to providing revolutionary tech solutions for medical laboratories, launched a customizable cloud-based lab information management system, GoMeyra LIMS. This software was specifically designed and developed as a solution to alleviate bottlenecks and increase efficiency challenges inherent in laboratory workflows.
Additionally, in September 2021, Health Minister Robin Swann launched a GBP 40 million Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that will significantly improve the delivery of clinical diagnostic services for key areas of healthcare. In March 2021, LabVantage Solutions, Inc. launched LabVantage Analytics, a full-featured, self-service advanced analytics solution that lets users easily explore, analyze, and visualize LIMS, enterprise, and external data to gain actionable business insights.
Furthermore, reduced IT manpower, cost-effective data management, and easy deployability are also some of the factors for the growth of the segment. Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market segment is expected to drive the growth of the market.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a major market share in the laboratory information system market due to the well-established healthcare IT sector in the region and government efforts to make access to laboratory services easy. It also dominates the laboratory informatics industry, and it is likely to remain so for a few more years.
The United States has dominated the laboratory informatics market in North America due to increased acceptance of digital healthcare in the nation and rising investments of companies developing laboratory informatics software in the country. For instance, Abbott headquartered in the United States has invested USD 2,420 million in R&D for FY 2020. Many key players that manufacture laboratory informatics software, such as Orchard Software Corporation, Cerner, Epic Systems, Roper Technologies, and Comp Pro Med Inc. are headquartered in the United States, and will, in turn, help to grow the market in the United States.
Additionally, the implementation of new services in the country is expected to drive market growth. For instance, in March 2020, LigoLab Information System reported that the company is providing fully integrated and automated LIS support for client laboratories in California, Washington, and New York that are using Food and Drug Administration-approved instruments to perform high-volume COVID-19 tests. Additionally, in August 2021, Xybion Corporation, a global low-code SaaS company that enables digital transformation in highly regulated industries including Life Sciences released the Pristima XD Digital Pathology.
Thus, this is expected to augment the growth of the market studied over the forecast period.
