Rising susceptibility of geriatric population to chronic diseases is expected to drive growth of the market

According to the U.S. Census Bureau Report in 2015, around 8.5% of the world population was aged 65 years and above and is expected to reach around 12% of the world population by 2030. Moreover, as per the report, geriatric population is expected to be significantly higher in emerging economies of Asia and Latin America. Moreover, deaths caused due to non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, lung disorders, cancer, and stroke is increasing rapidly worldwide, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Report. This alarming trend is mainly observed in emerging economies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Therefore, rising geriatric population and increasing risk of diseases, especially non-communicable diseases is expected to increase the demand for clinical laboratory service providers over the forecast period.

Increasing uptake of routine health tests by consumers

Increasing health concerns coupled with growing risk of transmittable diseases among the populace is leading to rapid uptake in routine health check-ups by consumers. Unhealthy food habits is making the human population vulnerable to bacterial and viral infections. Demand is especially high for tests to detect malaria and tuberculosis, which are highly prevalent in tropical regions such as South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Therefore, growth of the clinical laboratory services market in Latin America is projected to expand at a relatively high CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period.

Following test guidelines are essential to prevent false-positive results

The clinical laboratory service providers need to adopt ethical and efficient clinical practices to avoid false-positive results. In December 2016, the U.S. FDA issued a safety alert for ZIKA virus test takers, following reports that showed increasing false-positive results from ZIKV Detect test.

Market consolidation: The prevalent trend in the market

The global market for clinical laboratory services is undergoing consolidation.
