Japan In-vitro Diagnostics Market Size

Japan In-vitro Diagnostics Market Analysis

The field of in-vitro diagnostics has witnessed several changes and additions to its gamut of offerings in the recent past. There has been a paradigm shift from traditional diagnostics to a new generation diagnostics that work on the gene level. This was possible due to the inclusion of advanced technology, such as genetic testing, molecular diagnostics, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). Fast turnaround, reliability, user-friendliness, and predictability of predisposed diseases are few significant qualities, which helped these technologies attain their share in major offerings of diagnosis providers around the world and especially Japan. Increasing demand from the educated public for more information about their predisposition for serious diseases, and how these potential illnesses can be detected at an early stage, is driving the market for Japan in-vitro diagnostics. Furthermore, a growing burden of chronic and infectious diseases, increasing use of point of care (POC) diagnostics, and surging number of private hospitals and independent testing laboratories are some of the other factors contributing to the growth of the market. However, lack of proper reimbursement system in Japan, stringent regulations and limited budget of hospitals and laboratories in developing economies are also restraining the japan in-vitro diagnostics market.
