These tests help doctors, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to analyze the data and prepare appropriate evidence related to therapeutic and diagnostic decisions for the patients. Many countries have been investing a substantial sum of capital into healthcare, focusing on the development of clinical laboratory services. These services are beneficial, affordable, and give factual information.
Global laboratory services market drivers:
The surge in the geriatric population will drive the market growth
According to the World Health Organization, people above 60 years would witness a growth of 12% to 22% between 2015 to 2050. Countries are facing significant challenges in ensuring that their social and health systems are ready to overcome this major demographic shift.
By 2050, many countries, such as China, Chile, Russia, and Iran, will share the same geriatric population percentage as Japan. Many health problems are associated with the aging older population, such as hearing loss, back and neck pain, depression, and others. Older people suffer from geriatric syndromes, and it is imperative to develop affordable, advanced, and convenient laboratory services. Automated and technological advancements will ease the burden and provide better capability and efficiency.
