Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, there had been an increase in lab testing, which saw demand grow even more rapidly to keep pace with the suspected cases of COVID-19. According to the Atlantic Monthly Group, there was a tremendous increase globally in COVID-19 tests, rising from 760,441 tests in September 2020 to 964,792 tests by October 2020. Thus, the rising number of tests owing to the constant upsurge in patients and funding by governments were the factors responsible to escalate the demand for COVID-19 test kits and drove the overall market growth exponentially. In addition, the demand for clinical diagnostics is expected to remain constant during the post-pandemic period due to the emergence of a mutant strain of the COVID-19 virus, thereby contributing to the growth of the market over the five years.
The market is expected to grow due to the increasing incidence of infectious as well as chronic diseases and the increasing adoption of automated platforms.

The same source also mentioned that the most common types of childhood cancers include leukemias, brain cancers, lymphomas, and solid tumors, such as neuroblastomas and Wilms tumors. The report Published by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in December 2020 that the global cancer burden has risen to 19.3 million cases. and thus, due to the high prevalence of cancer around the world, the demand for effective clinical diagnostics, thereby contributing to the growth of the market. Also, the rising infectious diseases are expected to contribute to the growth of the clinical diagnostics market. For instance, the report published by the World Health Organization in November 2021, reported that more than 1.0 million sexually transmitted infections are acquired globally and most of them are asymptomatic. It also reported that every year there are an estimated 374.0 million new infections with 1 out of 4 sexually transmitted infections: gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and syphilis.
Owing to the increase in chronic diseases, the demand for healthcare systems is also increasing. Clinical diagnostics have, thus, proven to be beneficial in chronic disease conditions and are found to be valuable for disease prevention, detection, and management. Thus, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the overall market further.
