Abbott is trying hard to catch up with Roche in IM segment, while Qiagen has been growing well in MDx due to organic and inorganic growth (via acquisition). Novartis / Chiron are the 3rd largest MDx supplier in APAC, due to the growing adoption of NAT blood screening in this emerging region
Standing at ~6% of the IM hospital testing market, this is the smallest and yet one of the faster growing IM sub-segments due to the change in population lifestyle / diet.
Fertility / hormones testing is a sizable and fast growing IM subsegment with near to 9% value share. Roche leads in the region with near to 29% share, followed by Abbott and Siemens with 20% each in value share.
Axis Shield NycoCard is popular in the region for HbA1C. Siemens is also doing well with its DCA instruments in this subsegment.
DESCRIPTION
The IVD market in APAC has been growing at ~12-14% for the past few years, fueled by the booming economies of China and India. The major markets in APAC have a healthcare reimbursement system (China, Korea, Australia, and Taiwan) that provides comprehensive coverage for the IVD market. As such, healthcare test consumption is unlikely to be significantly impacted by the slightly volatile recovery phase of the regional economy, or any potential sporadic political turmoil in the region. However, the national health insurance bureau in several major countries are facing mounting budget deficit, or have cut funding for the pathology industry.
IMPACT
12.8%
Market phase
Strong organic growth from increasingly affluent population will drive demand for healthcare services and pathology testing in the developing economies of China, India, and Thailand. In the mature markets such as Australia and Taiwan, the IVD market is stable and growth is limited by the national health insurance bureau funding. Due to active supplier competition, price erosion trend has been observed across most countries.
Increased workload and high cost of labour are driving the larger facilities across the countries to improve on their workflow efficiency and adopt TLA systems. In the mature markets, lab consolidation trend is occurring, as labs leverage on economy of scale to negotiate harder with suppliers, resulting in reduced profit margins for suppliers.
