Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market: Overview

A laboratory information system (LIS) is computer software that processes, stores and manages data from all stages of medical processes and tests. It is used to coordinate varieties of inpatient and outpatient medical testing, including hematology, chemistry, immunology, and microbiology. The electronic data capture process of a laboratory information system reduces time spent and cuts errors associated with the transcribing process. At present, these systems are used widely in public health institutions, such as hospitals and clinics, to maintain data on patients’ tests, tracking of data quality, location and security, and end-user billing.

The laboratory information systems (LIS) market is growing due to the increasing need for the developed healthcare monitoring systems, improved effectiveness of the laboratories, and hospitals, and the laboratories’ position for the information systems. Moreover, the market is driven by the need to control diagnostic faults, rise in long-lasting diseases, utilization of LIS to enhance laboratory clinical workflow efficiency, incorporation of laboratory information systems with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, and increase in demand for quality & specific diagnosis.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to notably widen the increase in the laboratory information systems (LIS) market. Healthcare facilities faced immense pressure to create a well-coordinated environment where all functions are connected internally, and the organization operates in coordination with other healthcare units, during the pandemic. This resulted in the increased demand for laboratory information systems (LIS). Also, research laboratories focused on developing treatments or vaccines for COVID-19, and they need an effective end-to-end solution to improve the quality, productivity, and rapidity of the vaccine manufacturing process. This is likely to increase the uptake of informatics solutions, such as LIS.

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market: Growth Drivers

Need for laboratory automation

Laboratory automation minimizes human errors due to repetitive tasks such as pipetting and moving plates and improves accuracy. It is emerging as an effective solution for tackling the shortage of laboratory professionals and reducing manual involvement in lab processes. The rise in the data being produced by Laboratory systems has created the necessity for efficient data storage, analysis, and sharing methods. Laboratory information systems offer an effective solution to this demand, as these solutions significantly facilitate, advance, and improve the productivity and efficiency of laboratory processes.

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market: Restraints

High maintenance costs

The high maintenance and service costs related to LIS form a major restraint on market growth. According to industry experts, the maintenance cost of this system is more than the actual price of the software. Due to these factors, many small and medium-sized laboratories find it difficult to invest in these systems, thereby limiting their implementation. However, with the emergence of cloud-based LIS offerings, the effect of this restraint is expected to decrease in the coming years.

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Market: Segmentation

The global Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) market is segregated based on product, component, delivery mode, and end-user.

By product, the global market is distinguished into Standalone LIS and Integrated LIS. The Integrated LIS segment is anticipated to have the largest share of the market and is poised to dominate the market during the forecast period 2021-2028. The swift growth can be attributed to its various benefits such as automated laboratory administration, reduced risk of errors, integration of instruments and equipment, and higher overall efficiency. Furthermore, integrated LIS eliminates the need for manual order entry, which disregards any risk of human errors and saves time. The system makes use of barcode technology with an interface to LIS for order entry and tracking.

By Delivery Mode, the global market is bifurcated into On-premise and Cloud-based. Among them, the On-premise segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2021. It requires the laboratories to have a license of the software. As this licensed copy stays within the laboratory, it can provide much higher data protection than the Cloud-based delivery mode. On-Premise delivery requires in-house server hardware, software licenses, integration capabilities, and IT employees in order to function properly. Though, in Cloud-based, a third-party host will provide the services. However, the Cloud-based delivery mode segment is also anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
