“The cost and labor pressures that are inherent in today’s U.S. clinical laboratory are driving the adoption of automated high throughput testing methods,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Martin Nejat. “Moreover, the need for more rapid testing methods is compelling increase usage of rapid molecular assays.”
Market participants are responding to these pressures through the development and validation of new molecular assays and immunoassays. An increasing number of healthcare facilities are acquiring molecular capability because of decentralization in diagnostic testing.
However, the high initial capital investment in equipment, training, and validation is too costly for many laboratories. The lack of awareness among clinicians with regard to molecular tests further hinders adoption.
“Molecular tests require specialized training to interpret and implement the test results. Many clinicians simply do not have the appropriate training with regard to the features and benefits of these tests. For example, a recent physician survey indicated that physicians have questions about the meaning of viral loads, how to monitor them, and what changes from the baseline are significant. Lack of awareness and understanding of molecular tests among clinicians is a significant restraint for this market throughout the forecast period,” says Nejat.
U.S. clinical laboratories require a custom solution that takes into account their particular challenges. Testing volume, geographic variation in reimbursement rates, and medical focus of laboratory’s physician base are factors that are considered by successful market participants.
