Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Demand: Increasing Adoption in Clinical Laboratories

 The global laboratory proficiency testing market size was estimated at USD 1.36 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing focus on water testing, legalization of medical cannabis, growing number of cannabis testing laboratories, rising prevalence of foodborne illnesses, growing cases of chemical contamination of foods, and continuous introduction of new products & services are key factors expected to propel market growth. For instance, in March 2022, BIPEA launched a novel Proficiency Testing Scheme (PT 35d) dedicated to water microbiological testing laboratories. Moreover, the growing adoption of laboratory PT owing to stringent regulations is another factor estimated to boost market growth in the coming years.

Laboratory PT for endotoxin and pyrogen levels is crucial in water testing. Endotoxins are toxic components released from the outer membrane of certain bacteria, while pyrogens are substances that can cause fever and other adverse effects. PT ensures that laboratories accurately measure and assess endotoxin and pyrogen levels in water samples. It also verifies the laboratory’s competency in using appropriate testing methods, such as Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assays, to detect and quantify these contaminants. Accurate endotoxin and pyrogen testing are vital for evaluating safety and quality of water, especially for pharmaceutical production, medical device manufacturing, and dialysis. PT in this area guarantees reliable and consistent results, enabling informed decisions to protect public health and ensure regulatory compliance in water-related industries.

Cell culture segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 27.05% in 2023 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. With the increasing adoption of cell-culture-based products, such as monoclonal antibodies, there is a growing demand for cell culture tests to optimize the production of microbial strain cultures. PT in this field focuses on assessing the efficacy of laboratories and identifying contaminants & impurities present in cell cultures.Minerva Biolabs GmbH is a notable provider of proficiency tests that are specifically designed to evaluate common contaminants and test the laboratory's sensitivity to yeast/fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasmas

End-use Insights

Hospitals segment dominated the laboratory proficiency testing market with a revenue share of 31.61% in 2023 owing to the increasing need for regular competence evaluation in hospitals. Increasing number of tests offered by hospitals is further expected to drive the demand for PT. In September 2021, in Chandigarh, India, the government has taken steps to ensure the proficiency of outsourced staff in hospital laboratories, especially data entry operators. The Health Secretary introduced a computerized proficiency test conducted by SPIC for these personnel in government hospitals. This initiative aims to assess the competency and effectiveness of outsourced staff in data entry tasks, maintaining high standards of laboratory PT in the healthcare system.
