The growth trajectory of the global life sciences industry has benefited from a combination of novel technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9, microbiome and single-cell, relaxation of entry barriers in markets like China, and better-defined regulatory frameworks around next-generation therapies and companion diagnostics. A common denominator of growth a...

Readers of one of Frost & Sullivan’s media partners were invited to participate in an online survey in September 2019 that centered around the state of their laboratories in 2019 and their expectations for 2020. Frost & Sullivan has conducted similar studies among the same targeted respondents since 2012. Where applicable, the study presents year...

Single cell genomic and proteomics tools have gained significant importance in the past 2 years. The year 2018 was particularly very active with a lot of platforms made available by both established life sciences tools companies and start-ups. 10X Genomics and Fluidigm have demonstrated the potential for high-throughput single cell applications. Th...

Despite the term patient centricity gaining currency in the industry, there is a degree of variability in a companies’ approach and strategic priorities. Frost & Sullivan sees digitization playing a critical role in transforming the clinical trial model from traditional, high-cost, and difficult-to-access centralized settings to more patient-cent...

China is one of the fastest growing healthcare markets in the world. Traditionally, healthcare services have been dominated by the public sector; however, 2014 onward, the trend reversed with greater private sector participation. China still faces a number of challenges: unequal distribution of healthcare resources across the country; lack of an ef...

Clinical laboratories are an essential part of the health industry. Approximately 80% of physicians' diagnoses is estimated to be the result of laboratory tests. The constant pressure to reduce healthcare spending is shifting healthcare application in favor of the laboratory, making it a more valuable part of the treatment plan. Vietnam CLT marke...

The market for healthcare services in Malaysia is less developed, with many clinical testing services being unavailable outside of cities. Unsubstantiated disease and unconfirmed mortality diagnoses are common in the country despite universal care, significant mixed investment in the local healthcare system, and health expenditure favourable to oth...

This study focuses on clinical lab services in Thailand. A detailed analysis is provided on clinical testing services at public hospital labs and private hospital labs. Specialised labs are integrated into the independent reference labs segment. Certain trends with regard to physician office labs (POLs) in retail clinics have been mentioned in the ...

he global life science industry is in a state of flux. While the recent years have seen the advent of multiple novel technologies, such as in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), CRISPR-Cas9, virtual clinical trials, and liquid biopsy, the industry stands at a crossroad with challenges in scaling-up and commercializing such technologies. In addition, companies...
