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.

Top 10 Trends for 2024
Top 10 Growth Opportunities
1. Global GDP Growth—Mild Global Growth Slowdown from 3.0% in 2023 to 2.6% in 2024 as Key Economies Lose Growth Momentum
2. Inflation and Interest Rates—Headline Inflation to Continue to Decline; H2 2024 Shift Toward Rate Cuts for Advanced Economies
3. Currency Trajectory—Dollar to Remain Strong in H1 2024; Emerging Market Currencies to Get Boost from Q3 2024 Onwards
4. Labor Market—Moderate Unemployment Uptick; Positive Expectations Over Market Sentiment to Support Labor Hoarding
5. Oil Markets—Q1 OPEC+ Oil Production Cuts; Non-OPEC Production to Rise
6. Critical Minerals Supplies—Need for Economic Resiliency to Bolster Cross-border and Cross-industry Partnerships
7. North America—Economic Slowdown Amidst Discretionary Spending Pullback and Elevated Interest Rates
8. Western Europe—Moderate Growth Pick-up as Inflation Headwinds Ease Gradually; Rebuilding Fiscal Buffers to Take Precedence
9. Middle East—Non-oil Growth Driven by Economic Diversification to Limit Pullback Caused by a Slowdown in Global Oil Markets
10. Asia—Emerging Economies to Drive Growth Momentum; Fiscal Measures to Support Chinese Economic Recovery
