IVD Market Size and Growth Trend
1. The IVD Market: Current
Size and Expected Growth TrendDiagnostic laboratory technology has changed dramatically in the past few years, due to the publication
of the human genome project and advances in functional genomics, bioinformatics, miniaturization and
microelectronics. Not three years ago it would have been almost inconceivable to see research technologies
such as genome sequencing and mass spectroscopy play a pivotal role in improving lab medicine. Their
influence is felt in personalized medicine, inherited diseases, pathogen detection, antibiotic resistance testing,
blood banking and much more to come.
The world market for diagnostics is estimated at $54.2 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow 4% annually
to $64.3 billion by 2018. This includes all laboratory and hospital-based products, and OTC product sales.
Clinical lab medicine plays an integral role in healthcare and disease management. This phenomenon has seen
the major vendors of these technologies enter the IVD market. Life Technologies, Illumina, Affymetrix, Bruker
Daltonics, PerkinElmer/Caliper and others have all launched
clinical tests and test services.
Further the revolution in bioinformatics is allowing clinical and
traditional medical engineering to blend with components derived
from the telecommunications, information and computer sciences
industries. This opens new niche markets for POC test devices,
which will have a positive impact on diagnostic testing.
Health insurance giants Aetna, UnitedHealth and Kaiser in
collaboration with research organizations and IT companies are
working to make medicine really personalized. They are using Big
Data analytics engines that integrate the molecular information
(genomic, proteomic, metabolomic and others) from thousands of
patients that they insure with their demographic and disease
information to identify biomarkers linked to disease-driving
mechanisms. The long term goal is to develop markers that will
make personalized medicine very precise.
Lab-quality molecular tests and immunoassays at the point-of-care are on their way, but many of these tests
require some interpretation and consultation for appropriate disease management. To meet this demand
Smartphone apps have been launched just as fast as possible. The trend began with data analysis of blood
glucose monitoring to help people with diabetes improve management of their diabetes.
“…a time of global economic
instability and rising healthcare
costs.”
2. Now apps are available to help lab professionals consult with databases and experts worldwide. The
widespread availability of communication devices such as Apple’s iPAD and iPHONE and other android
phones and personal digital assistants are the most significant enablers of this phenomenon that will bring
quality diagnostics to people in remote areas of developing and developed countries.
However, these tests are being launched in Healthcare reform, the reformulation of reimbursement for the
newest and most valuable tests and the reorganization of the regulatory process for these tests in the U.S. have
created an environment of insecurity. The acute economic crisis in European countries has cut growth in the
IVD industry to 1% at best. Payers are cutting reimbursement schedules to the bare minimum to keep from
going broke. Japan has initiated its first pricing revision in ten years with an anticipated increase in payments.
On the supply side, labs are challenged to add new tests with little increase in financial and human
resources. For most labs it may even mean doing more with less.
There is also a lack of trained lab technologists, so there is a decreasing availability of human resources
needed to run the more complex new set of molecular and histological tests and immunoassays. Therefore there
has been a proliferation of test and lab automation tools launched that remove precious human resources from
mundane pre-analytical and sample tracking tasks to make time for more sophisticated ones. This phenomenon
was once thought to be the purview of core lab biochemistry and immunoassays but automation is becoming a
common feature hematology, blood banking, microbiology, and histology.
This emphasis on automation has created further
consolidation of laboratory testing to large core labs.
More and more assays in coagulation, infectious
diseases, proteins, diagetes and even HPV are
developed for automated clinical analyzers used in
the core lab. Systems for urinalysis, coagulation and
microbiology are ready to take their place along side
the hematology, chemistry and immunoassay
instruments – all located in a single core lab. In
larger labs they may be linked to a common track
line.
Getting information to care givers and patients is
now not an added plus, it is a prerequisite of all lab
operations. Thus the next 3-5 years will see an
intensification of the healthcare industry's emphasis
on informatics, wireless communications, data
networking and cost/effective healthcare delivery.
The reorganization of decentralized health care
delivery worldwide and patient-focused medicine are having an enormous impact on the role of medical devices
and diagnostic services in healthcare. Technological advancements, specifically those in device

permit IVD tests and devices to maintain a central role in disease management.
In the area of test economics, outcomes based disease management establishes guidelines and directives for
patient care. This is having a significant effect on the use of new tests, which have to prove their added value to
patient care. It also affects how many and which tests are
recommended and thus reimbursed for a specific disease
group. Health insurance companies such as Kaiser
Permanente, Aetna and UnitedHealth along with pharmacy
benefit organizations such as Medco are mining their
extensive databases to look for correlations between testing patterns and patient outcome. It is expected that
these would then be translated into test usage guideline.

Superior Trend Coverage
There are many sources for what happened in a market last year.
Kalorama Information’s unique report provides the reasons ‘why’
events happened. Changes in technology development,
regulatory and reimbursement issues, clinical care, and business
environments are discussed. Current market numbers are
presented for 2011, with projections given through 2016.
A Truly Global Resource
From the first edition, this report was designed as a global
resource in order to give market-watchers a true picture of the
industry. IVD is a worldwide business. While the US is a large
healthcare market, much of the dynamism, the growth, and also
competition is occurring in other areas.
Many of the most interesting opportunities for companies are occurring in
emerging markets. As part of its coverage, the report breaks down the entire
IVD market for North America, Europe (EU countries, incl. IVD market sizes
by country), Eastern Europe, South America, Asia (Japan, China and India) and Rest of World
5. IVD changes constantly.
This report keeps up with those
changes.
The need to know is what’s driving diagnostics. 6 Billion
Tests are performed each year. There are over 4,000 test
products. Just 2% of the costs of healthcare are spent on
testing, but 70% of clinical decisions are made using a
diagnostic test product. For infectious disease and cancer,
test makers with innovative products can expect
opportunities for new business.
Personalized medicine is finally on its way and not just for cancer patients. Why? Because pharma
companies are getting it – you can’t have a targeted therapeutic without an assay to select a potential
user. There has been a significant increase in pharma/Dx collaborations in the areas of neurological
disorders, autoimmune diseases and others.
For many years, we have heard about investment in emerging markets, the BRIC and others. In some
ways it was a lot of rhetoric – it is now a reality and all of the companies involved in emerging markets
have reported at least a 15%-20% increase in revenues there and in some cases more.
Mobile phones help us all find each other in big box stores, send Instagrams and generally keep in touch.
For healthcare providers – laboratory professionals, physicians and nurse practitioners – mobile phone
Apps are proving to be an invaluable tool to keep up to date, to
research disease guidelines and more.
Big data is all the buzz – let us not forget that data mining finds
correlations – many of which may have absolutely no significance
for the problem to be solved. It is only a beginning to finding real
answers that can improve patient care.
Is the liquid biopsy using either CTCs or cfDNA coming to routine
lab medicine? A sure sign of increased interest and uptake is
when test controls and standards are commercialized. In the past
few years several companies that market molecular test controls have increased their offerings in this
way.
The reimbursement conundrum continues – governments want better outcomes but also lower costs,
and developed countries are developing new reimbursement methods to counter these forms.
“the core lab of biochemistry,
immunoassays and hematology
still account for most IVD sales
but the last few years have
seen quite a bit of movement in
some areas.”
