Global Clinical Diagnostics Outlook, 2024
Driven by Digital Services and Automation, the Molecular Diagnostics and POCT Sectors Rebound after the COVID-19 Pandemic
With the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers have been directing most of their capabilities toward preventive healthcare and precision medicine, as the clinical diagnostics industry continues its transition from a centralized to a decentralized testing model. Globally, 2024 is set to be a profitable year for the industry, which will likely witness sustained growth through to 2029. The main growth drivers will be the point-of-care testing (POCT) and molecular diagnostics sectors, which Frost & Sullivan expects to rebound even more strongly in 2024.
This study examines clinical diagnostics industry trends and growth projections from 2024 to 2029 across five global regions. It analyzes innovative in vitro diagnostics technologies and applications, major vendors to watch, and growth opportunities in the post-pandemic reality. The research also provides the top 5 predictions for 2024 related to the industry’s decentralization trend, the recovery of molecular diagnostics, and the higher investments in automated solutions and novel digital models.
