Healthcare Analytical Testing Services provide study or analysis with the help of scientific procedures and governed by a written protocol specifying the materials to be analyzed, the techniques, equipment, and methods used in the analysis, method of mixing and sub-sampling, method of preservation of samples and extracts, analytical sensitivity, the quality assurance/quality control measures, and the documentation necessary to allow another party to repeat the study or analysis. These are used in the healthcare sector for reverse engineering or failure analysis, and identifying contaminants or stains on products.

Market Dynamics

The increasing demand for specialized testing services, the number of clinical trials, and the acceptance of the pharmaceutical Quality by Design (QbD) approach for systematic research and manufacturing are driving the market growth. The increasing outsourcing of analytical testing by pharmaceutical and biotech companies along with the exponential increase in market value is additionally bolstering the market value. The pharmaceutical companies are investing more in the development and approval of biosimilars because biosimilars serve as a cheaper treatment option as compared to biologics is additionally bolstering the market value. The demand for analytical testing services is also gaining growth in the medical devices and combination drugs due to their complexity in usage.

On the other side, the shortage of skilled professionals is expected to restrict the growth over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.
