Malaysia Diagnostic Labs Market, By Provider Type (Hospital Based Diagnostic Labs, Diagnostic Chains, Stand Alone Diagnostic Labs), By Test Type (Pathology v/s Radiology), By End User (Referrals, Walk-ins, Corporate Clients), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2017-2027F
Malaysia diagnostic labs market stood at USD1011.24 million in 2021 and is expected to reach a CAGR of 7.89% during the forecast period. The rise in non-communicable diseases is increasing the demand for regular check-ups and multiple tests. In Malaysia, the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has increased during the last two decades. According to Novartis Malaysia, non-communicable diseases are responsible for 74% of all fatalities in Malaysia. In addition to the contagious COVID-19 virus, people with non-communicable diseases are more likely to experience additional consequences that can dramatically deteriorate their health. Initiated by Novartis Malaysia, the "NCDs in the New Normal" workshop aims to actively educate patients, caregivers, and the public to manage their health.
Furthermore, the rise in the geriatric population of Malaysia is another factor associated with non-communicable diseases. According to a declaration made by Malaysia's Chief Statistician in July 2019, there will be an increase of 15% in the current geriatric population by 2030. Malaysia's age distribution has changed during the last ten years. The percentage of people aged 0 to 14 has been rapidly declining, but the opposite has been true for people aged 65 and older. This trend was reflected by the average age of the Malaysian population, which was projected to rise from 28.2 years in 2015 to 34.1 years in 2030. Due to changes in dietary habits, and amounts of food consumed, malnutrition is also a major problem in the elderly of the nation. The growing aging population and the rise of non-communicable diseases in the country will lead to more visits to diagnostic centers for disease diagnosis before hospitalization, enhancing the growth of the Malaysia diagnostic labs market.
Use of Digital Pathology to Augment Pathological Diagnosis
Digital pathology boosts productivity and efficiency, which helps pathologists to assess and cooperate quickly, remotely, transparently, and consistently. In the long run, computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) and personalized care may all be a future of digital pathology. Pathologists can specialize in big data software, which extracts information from many data sets at once. This software can easily manage data for teaching and training and enable the expansion of practices to more geographically diverse areas. As a result of the development of digital pathology, pathologists can now operate remotely and collaborate with other professionals when a second opinion is required because digital pictures are saved on secure servers and can be viewed on computer monitors. Using digital pathology speeds up productivity and allows quicker diagnosis.
