Description

The immunoassay and clinical chemistry market is the highest share contributor for the total in vitro diagnostics (IVD) market. Globally valued at $28.7 billion in 2019, this market segment contributes 37.6% of the total IVD market of $76.3 billion. Within the high-medium to low analyzer segment, there are over 40 companies globally. Of these, 14 companies are benchmarked in this study. Point of care testing is not included in this study.

The market concentration is relatively high amidst the Tier I companies, which includes Siemens Healthineers, Roche Diagnostics, Abbott Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter, and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics. Some evolving trends include an interest in small scale analyzers and niche/specialty reagents. There is also a need to establish references that generate a push to single-vendor system across a healthcare system. There is heavy focus on automation to address sample management, especially in pediatric hospitals, and there is an interest in adding third-party niche assays to existing platforms.

Finally, there is a need for constant research and development (R&D) innovation to add a new pipeline of assays in areas such as brain injury, hs- troponin (particularly in the United States), sepsis, and other potential applications of PCT, ischemic stroke, and kidney disease.

The report provides global market share, market size, and brand penetration and pricing/discounts on popular vendors and models from FY 2018 to FY 2019.
