Laboratory Information System (LIS) Market in North American by Product (Integrated Laboratory Information System), by Type (Clinical Pathology Laboratory Information System, Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Information System) - Forecast to 2019

A laboratory information system (LIS) is a class of software, which takes care of receiving, processing, and storing information generated by medical laboratory processes. These systems are interfaced with instruments and other information systems, such as Hospital Information Systems (HIS), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), and Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). An LIS is a highly configurable application, which is customized to enable a wide variety of laboratory workflow models. The selection of an LIS vendor is a major undertaking for all laboratories.

The North American laboratory information systems market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2014 to 2019. The rising demand for molecular diagnostic tests, along with the government support for the adoption of healthcare IT tools, is among the major factors that drives the growth of the North American LIS market. The increasing aging population, combined with the rising cases of chronic diseases, has resulted in a greater number of diagnostic tests being conducted as a part of safeguard measures prescribed by physicians. These factors have contributed to the growth of the North American LIS market in recent years. On the other hand, the high costs of LIS solutions, the high maintenance and service expenses, and the lack of skilled healthcare-IT professionals are the major factors that could restrain the market growth.

The U.S. dominates the laboratory information system (LIS) market, registering about 96.0% of the market share in 2014, followed by Canada. Canada is expected to become substantial markets for laboratory information system (LIS) in the foreseeable future.

In-depth market share analysis, by revenue, of the top companies has also been included in the report. These numbers are arrived at, based on key facts, annual financial information from SEC filings, annual reports and interviews with industry experts, and key opinion leaders such as CEOs, directors, and marketing executives. A detailed market share analysis of the major players in the North American laboratory information systems (LIS) market is covered in this report. The major companies in this market include Sunquest Information Systems (U.S.), Cerner Corporation (U.S.), SSC Soft Computer (U.S.), CompuGroup Medical AG (Germany), McKesson Corporation (U.S.), Epic Systems Corporation (U.S.), Medical Information Technology (U.S.), Orchard Software Corporation (U.S.), Allscripts (U.S.), Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (U.S.), Computer Programs and Systems (CPSI) (U.S.), and Merge Healthcare (U.S.).

The North American LIS market holds high potential and bears the testimony of a plethora of technological advancements since its establishment. LIS has evolved from systems designed to generate simple laboratory reports to complex systems that can track entire laboratory workflows throughout all phases of testing.

The North American LIS market is expected to reach $704.6 million by 2019 from $483.0 million in 2014, at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2014 to 2019. The rising demand for molecular diagnostic tests, along with the government support for the adoption of healthcare IT tools, is among the major factors that drive the growth of the North American LIS market. The increasing aging population, combined with the rising cases of chronic diseases, has resulted in a greater number of diagnostic tests being conducted as a part of safeguard measures prescribed by physicians. These factors have contributed to the growth of the North American LIS market in recent years. On the other hand, the high cost of LIS solutions, the high maintenance and service expenses, and the lack of skilled healthcare-IT professionals are the major factors that could restrain the market growth.

The North American laboratory information systems market has been divided on the basis of products, types, components, delivery modes, and end-users. Based on products, the LIS market is segmented into integrated LIS and standalone LIS. The standalone LIS is expected to capture the largest market share of 52.8% of the total market, by the end of 2014. In the coming years, this segment is expected to continue its market dominance, even though the integrated LIS segment has been observed to grow at a faster CAGR. The ability of the standalone LIS to work offline, given that they are not part of any software package, along with advantages such as better affordability, enhanced data security, and user-friendly nature when compared to an integrated network, are factors responsible for its higher implementation in the North American region. However, integrated systems are gaining traction in the North American market owing to the rising demand from clinicians for faster and efficient access to complex diagnostic and related data.

The key players in the LIS market include Sunquest Information Systems (U.S.), Cerner Corporation (U.S.), SSC Soft Computer (U.S.), CompuGroup Medical AG (Germany), McKesson Corporation (U.S.), Epic Systems Corporation (U.S.), Medical Information Technology (U.S.), Orchard Software Corporation (U.S.), Allscripts (U.S.), Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (U.S.), Computer Programs and Systems (CPSI) (U.S.), and Merge Healthcare (U.S.). Other players in this market include Comp Pro Med (U.S.), Psyche Systems (U.S.), Technidata America (U.S.), and Siemens Medical Solutions (U.S.), among others.
