Clinical Chemistry Analyzer Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Product (Analyzers, Reagents, Others), By Test (Basic Metabolic Panel, Electrolyte Panel, Liver Panel, Lipid Profile, Renal Profile, Thyroid Function Panel, Specialty Chemical Tests), By End-Use (Hospitals, Academic Research Centers, Diagnostic Laboratories, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The clinical chemistry analyzer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.16% to reach a market size of US$16.36 billion by 2028.

A clinical chemistry analyzer or biochemistry analyzer is a medical device used in clinical laboratories to perform various biochemical tests on patient samples, such as blood, urine, or other body fluids. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with the growing aging population around the globe is a major growth driver of the clinical chemistry analyzer market. Moreover, the rising need for automation and adoption of precision medicine along with technological advancements and growing screening awareness is further expected to boost the clinical chemistry analyzer market.

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Clinical chemistry analyzers are essential for diagnosing and monitoring these diseases, as they provide crucial information about the patient's biochemical profile and overall health status. The rising incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, kidney diseases, and liver are therefore expected to boost the clinical chemical analyzer market. For instance, an estimated 2 million fatalities were attributed to diabetes and diabetes-related kidney disease in 2019 according to the WHO. Moreover, in the United States, there are more than 100 million people who suffer from liver disease. Adult deaths from liver disease in the U.S. reached 51,642 in 2020 according to American Liver Foundation.

Growing Aging Population

The global population is aging, leading to a higher prevalence of age-related diseases and conditions thereby propelling the clinical chemical analyzer market. Chronic diseases including diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease have a disproportionately negative impact on older persons. Nearly 80% of people have two or more chronic conditions, and nearly 95% have at least one according to the National Council of Aging. Moreover, the percentage of people aged over 60 years worldwide will increase from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050 according to the WHO. Additionally, life expectancy has improved from 66.8 years in 2000 to 73.3 years in 2019 as per the WHO report which is also adding to the aging population.

Rising Adoption of Point-of-Care Testing

The ease and speed of point-of-care testing are making it more and more popular. Clinical chemical analyzers designed for POCT settings are in high demand, especially in remote or resource-limited areas. Therefore, the rising adoption of point-of-care testing is contemplated to aid the clinical chemical analyzer market. For instance, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 95% of healthcare centers in the United States offered telehealth services during the pandemic. Leading companies in the market are actively working on enhancing their bench-top and portable testing solutions to stay competitive and offer more advanced diagnostic options. For instance, Una Health announced in March 2022 that it will collaborate with Siemens Healthineers to increase the patient-side immunoassay analyzer Atellica VTLi's distribution network in the United Kingdom.

Rising Need for Automation

Laboratories face increasing sample volumes, creating a need for automation to streamline processes and reduce human errors. Rising demand for automation is contemplated to aid the clinical chemical analyzer market with automation capabilities.  According to the Johns Hopkins report in July 2023, an estimated 795,000 Americans each year are killed or rendered permanently crippled by diagnostic mistakes across all clinical settings, including hospital and clinic-based treatment. Moreover, the cost of medication errors worldwide is estimated by the WHO to be $42 billion per year. The huge burden of data and samples necessitates the automation which a clinical chemical analyzer can provide.

Growing Awareness and Screening Programs

Increased awareness of preventive healthcare and the implementation of disease-specific screening programs in various regions boost the clinical chemistry analyzer market to support these initiatives. For instance, the cancer screening program in urban China was initiated in 2012 which covered 42 cities in 20 provincial-level administrative regions by 2021. Moreover, Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center launched a multidisciplinary lung cancer screening program for residents across San Diego County in November 2022. The program aims to significantly fill an unmet demand by increasing the number of low-dose CT scan screenings.

North America is Expected to Grow Significantly

North America is expected to hold a significant share of the clinical chemistry analyzer market during the forecast period. The factors attributed to such a share are the aging population, the higher burden of chronic diseases, technological advancements, the adoption of point-of-care testing, and rising research investments. For instance, according to the National Council on Aging, there are already 56 million older adults in the United States in 2020, which is expected to reach 56 million people by 2060. A 65-year-old may anticipate a further 17 years of life on average. Further, approximately three million individuals aged 65 years and above seek medical attention in emergency departments due to unintentional fall-related injuries every year.
