Laboratory Information System Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Laboratory Information System (LIS) Market Analysis

The Global Laboratory Information System Market size is estimated at USD 3.49 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.36 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.79% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Covid 19 has had a huge impact on the laboratory information system market due to the surge in Covid 19 cases daily. According to the study published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association in August 2020, the Belgium national reference testing center has carried out more than 25,000 covid PCR tests in parallel to standard routine testing since the start of the outbreak by the implementation of laboratory information systems. Companies have also launched laboratory informatics, especially for the Covid 19 testing. For instance, The COVID-19 LIMS from LabVantage is a powerful, adaptable, and easy-to-use system that can be swiftly adapted to fulfill the rising demand for diagnostic testing in PHLs, as well as the adaptability to handle workflows for other types of testing. Therefore, handling the large volume of testing samples by LIMS during the covid, avoiding manual errors, and simplifying the process, covid selective innovative products have resulted in the surge of laboratory informatics demand during the pandemic.

The laboratory information system (LIS) is driven by the rising demand for lab automation and advancement in the R&D labs, especially in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological laboratories. Additionally, the high accuracy and efficiency results of laboratory informatics products are driving the growth of the laboratory informatics market. According to the survey conducted in 2020 by Astrix Technologies LLC, a professional healthcare IT service provider, 61% of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) users profited from the removal of manual operations, 57% improved their sample management approach, and 46% saw a substantial increase in productivity within their laboratory setting.

According to the same source, a present LIMS implementation in their laboratory was reported by 77 percent of the organization's survey. The bulk of the organizations had more than 25 users, and 30% of the companies had at least 3 to 5 distinct types of LIMS across their implementation. Over 36% of customers said they were extremely happy with their LIMS, and 44% said it improved laboratory efficiency significantly. This represents the improved performance of laboratory informatics across the healthcare industry, thereby propelling the market growth.

Technological advancements have enabled healthcare providers and scientists to prepare samples and carry out a diagnosis with more precision and accuracy and minimize errors with these laboratory informatics and have therefore fuelled the market growth. For Instance, in March 2021, LabVantage Solutions, Inc., one of the leading providers of laboratory informatics solutions and services including purpose-built LIMS solutions that allow labs to go live faster and at a lower total cost, launched LabVantage Analytics. It is 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. Such advancements are expected to propel the growth of the market.

Thus, owing to the abovementioned factors, the market is expected to show growth over the forecast period. However, the high cost of LIMS software is a factor that may hinder the growth of the market.
