Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2023-2035

Central Lab Market size is poised to cross USD 4.5 Billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of central lab was over USD 2.2  Billion. The growth of the market is primarily attributed to the worldwide growing prevalence of numerous genetic abnormalities and the development of novel drugs and devices to treat such types of abnormalities. For instance, in 2021, around 85 novel active substances (NASs) were officially launched globally, which was more than twice the number launched five years ago.

As the occurrence of various diseases rises, so does the demand for new drug discovery and development. Pharmaceutical companies have prioritized efficient service and high-quality data without having to compromise. Therefore, these companies employ central labs for the detection, testing, development, and production of novel drugs and devices. Central labs are intended to facilitate clinical trials for novel drugs as well as genetic testing for a number of genetic diseases. Therefore, ongoing clinical trials for the production of new drugs are estimated to lead to the growth of the market. For instance, till 2022, there have been approximately 134,359 (32%) clinical trials registered in the US region alone, whereas around 221,438 (52%) clinical trials are registered in non-US regions.

Central Lab Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Prevalence of Genetic Disorders Owing to Rising Mutations -A genetic disorder is a medical disease caused by one or more malformations in the genome. These disorders consist of several types of chronic diseases and birth defects that are received from one or both parents. Such disorders require in-depth research and study to discover an optimum treatment. For instance, there are over 6,010 clinically defined rare diseases, out of these 72% are genetic disorders.
  • Rise in Genetic Testing as the Number of Genetic Cases Increasing - Changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins are detected through genetic testing. Genetic test results confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition. The increasing number of genetic abnormalities is leading to the growth of genetic testing. For instance, by 2021, over 78,000 genetic tests were in use.
  • Increasing Prevalence of Cancer in All Age Groups of Population - Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally and numerous clinical trials have been performed to find out the best-suited treatment for it. As per the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 10 million people died from cancer worldwide in 2020.
  • Upsurge in Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) Across the World - Conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels are collectively referred to as cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is commonly related to a buildup of fatty deposits inside the arteries. The number of CVDs patients is growing faster which leads to the rising number of testing and trials for new and effective drugs. As per the World Health Organization, in 2019, approximately 17.9 million people died from CVDs, representing 32% of all deaths worldwide.
  • Growing Investment in R&D with Government and Private Support – According to the data released by the Unesco Institute for Statistics, worldwide R&D investment has continued to rise, with an average annual increase of 4.7% over the last decade (2010-2020). In global terms, the proportion of global GDP invested in R&D has grown substantially from 1.61% in 2010 to 1.93% in 2020.

Challenges

  • Requirement of High Capital Investments to Operate Central Lab
  • The need for high capital investment to develop and operate a central lab is estimated to hamper the market growth. The central lab requires costly equipment, skilled medical professionals to handle the equipment, and a large space to set up a sophisticated lab facility.
  • Problems Associated with Contamination of Samples
  • Stringent Government Regulations
