1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and presentation
Medical biology laboratories are places where medical analyses and monitoring are carried out on the basis of fluid samples. These diagnoses are essential for treatment and medical decision-making, as well as for the prevention of various diseases.
Worldwide, the market for medical biology laboratories is growing steadily. Per capita healthcare expenditure is rising all over the world, particularly in Asia, where economic growth has led to the development of local laboratories.

The market remains extremely fragmented, with the top two laboratories holding just 8.6% of the market, but concentration is gradually taking hold.
