Laboratory Information System Market Dynamics
Driver: Development of integrated LIS
The demand for advanced data management solutions is on the rise with the ever-changing requirements of laboratories. As standalone LIS does not meet all laboratory requirements, modern and agile information systems are increasingly being adopted to run laboratories efficiently. This is particularly evident in the increasing integration of LIS with EHR. LIS within EHR is beneficial in financial and operational capabilities, expected to increase its adoption among healthcare providers. Integrated LIS solutions help ease lab workflow, provide standardized and quality diagnosis, enable simplified solution deployment, and help in reducing the cost associated with installing new and independent LIS systems. Moreover, integrated systems reduce the separate maintenance and service cost incurred on LIS systems.
Integrated solutions greatly assist in compliance with regulatory requirements in the life sciences industry. These solutions provide laboratory and enterprise information at a single point of access and eliminate the gaps in communication between enterprises and stakeholders. Other benefits include better laboratory workflows, reduction of the maintenance cost, easy retrieval of laboratory data, accelerated validation process, quality assurance of products, and regulatory compliance.
Restraint: Lack of integration standards for LIS
Although laboratory information systems have been around for several years, there still are numerous issues related to their integration and implementation. Various attempts are being made by associations such as SiLA (Standardization in Lab Automation) and the IQ Consortium (International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development) to introduce new interfaces and data management standards to facilitate the integration of these systems. However, as of now, the lack of integration standards is a major concern in the laboratory arena, and there is very little evidence of a universal solution emerging. This acts as a major barrier to the greater adoption of LIS among prospective end users. Currently, with no unified strategy, laboratories are largely continuing to follow conventional procedures, regardless of their efficiency.
Opportunity: Rising demand for personalized medicine
Personalized medicine involves using the uniqueness of each patient’s pathology and physiology to tailor treatment and prevention procedures for gaining optimal results. The need for personalized medicine is on the rise owing to the growth in the aging population and the increasing incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer. For these disease conditions, personalized medicine offers opportunities to provide targeted therapies to destroy tumor cells with less impact on other healthy cells. In personalized medicine, pathology data is required to prescribe the best possible therapy. LIS solutions can be beneficial in this regard as these solutions offer advanced functions, such as digital pathology and companion algorithms, for specimen slide diagnosis to help detect cancer cells and thus enable early diagnosis.
Personalized medicine is gaining importance across the globe and has attracted significant support. The Marcus Program in Precision Medicine Innovation (MPPMI) aims to foster innovation in precision medicine by fostering creative, high-risk, high-impact team science projects supporting the precision medicine continuum. Thus, the growth in demand and rising support for personalized medicine are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to players operating in the LIS market.
Challenge: Requirement of specialized LIS solutions
Most medium and large clinical diagnostic laboratories comprise specialized laboratory units for chemistry, microbiology, and hematology. These laboratories have unique workflow needs and hence require unique LIS solutions to meet these requirements. Furthermore, some laboratories require customizable non-clinical functionalities such as client connectivity and billing. Coming up with solutions that cater to the unique requirements of these specialized laboratory units is a major challenge for LIS vendors.
Laboratory Information System (LIS) Market Ecosystem
The ecosystem of the LIS market comprises data center providers, cloud professional service vendors, software developers, medical institutions, healthcare providers, blood banks, nursing homes, and independent laboratories.

Based on the component, the software segment of laboratory information system industry is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The software segment of laboratory information system market is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is primarily owing to the increasing demand for user-friendly, comprehensive, and integrated LIS software. A typical LIS software performs operations such as registration of test requests; production of specimen collection sheets and identification labels; confirmation of specimen collection; production of aliquot labels; workload inquiry; production of worksheets; manual as well as automated entry of test results; results inquiry; and generation of preliminary reports, final reports, statistical reports, and daily activities reports, and billing.
Based on delivery mode, the on-premise segment is anticipated to dominate the laboratory information system industry in 2023.
Based on deployment, the laboratory information system market is segmented into on-premise LIS and cloud-based LIS. The on-premises segment is expected to dominate the laboratory information system (LIS) market from 2023 to 2028 due to security concerns among users and higher control over the system. On-premise models offer multivendor architecture, which lowers the risk of data breaches and external attacks. Buyers mainly opt for these delivery models due to the security benefits associated with them. The on-premises segment is expected to dominate the healthcare data monetization market from 2023 to 2028 due to security concerns among users and higher control over the system. On-premise LIS solutions offer benefits such as increased control and security over sensitive data, compliance with regulatory requirements, faster data processing, and the ability to customize and tailor the solution to specific laboratory needs,
Hospital laboratories are expected to acquire the largest size of laboratory information system industry market by end-user.
Based on the end user, the laboratory information system market is broadly segmented into hospital laboratories, independent laboratories, physician office laboratories (POLs), and other end users (blood banks, retail clinics, public health labs, and nursing homes). The hospital laboratories segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The use of LIS in hospitals and hospital laboratories can significantly reduce waiting times for patients and improve the quality of diagnostics. Moreover, LIS can facilitate long-distance discussions with experts and make digital slide images of specimens (such as blood smears or frozen sections) available online. Owing to these benefits, hospitals across the world are increasingly adopting LIS.
