Clinical Chemistry Analyzer Market Dynamics
Drivers: Increasing utilization of automation as well as high throughput clinical analyzers.
With the increased implementation of automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analytics (via the new class of clinical analyzer), there will be an exponential increase in the future use of analytical testing.
The use of modern analyzers is significantly accelerating the speed and accuracy of clinical diagnostic testing through their already-existing capabilities of real-time data processing, automated calibration, and quality control (QC). In addition to these features, analyzers that are capable of connecting to laboratory information systems (LIS) as well as hospital networks via an electronic interface, will allow laboratories to have an uninterrupted flow of data for improved workflow management.
Additionally, with clinical analyzers capable of processing high numbers of specimens with minimal manual/analytical intervention, laboratories are also better able to respond to the increasing number of specimens they are having to process as a result of rising demands for diagnostic testing due to both chronic and infectious diseases and will therefore become a vital component of the clinically laboratory of the future.
Opportunities: Expanded options in decentralised diagnostics and multi-function integrated platforms
The shift in healthcare delivery systems has led to a positive outlook for clinical analyzers. There will be increased opportunities to provide decentrally located clinical analyzers and rapid diagnostics (outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and the rural/remote areas). Compact, portable clinical analyzers help provide rapid results from tests in these areas. There are more clinical analyzers that can provide multiple types of tests (chemistry, immunoassays and haematology) on one platform, allowing for increased diagnostic capabilities with one piece of equipment. The increasing demand for preventative healthcare and the need for early detection of diseases will also provide additional opportunities for routine screening. Newly developed healthcare infrastructures and an increase in access to diagnostic services in the emerging markets will also provide opportunities for growth.
Challenges: Increased Operating Expenses, Shortage of Workers, and Typical Administrative Burdens That Continue to Increase.
The clinical analyzer market has some serious challenges due in large part to the high initial investment in equipment and ongoing operational costs (maintenance, calibration, and quality assurance). A lack of qualified technicians to work in laboratories is causing laboratories to rely even more on automating processes and creating operational challenges. Compliance with strict regulatory guidelines and quality requirements also adds hours and weeks to the process of getting products approved and into a clinical laboratory. Additionally, laboratories face challenges in terms of integrating with the existing laboratory systems that currently exist, and having the ability to obtain standard data between all laboratory systems is still a major obstacle to obtaining widespread utilization.
