• The increasing adoption of laboratory information management systems (LIMS) in hospital and research labs is growing, due to its application scope for the patient
engagement, workflow management, billing, patient health information tracking and quality assurance that is expected to increase the overall market. There has
also been a significant increase in the focus on high quality of samples and efficient management of samples.

• The LIMS also play a key role in advancing the discoveries with the provision of concerned bio-specimens to the end users, such as hospitals, clinics, etc.
Therefore, bio banking is experiencing a surge in demand and ultimately, for the management of bio banking, LIMS is being used, which is in turn a growth factor
for the market.

• It has also been observed that there is a critical need in the field for personalized medicine to support the rapid delivery of results from the lab directly to the patient,
and this has dramatically increased the informatics integration and workflow challenges in clinical testing and molecular diagnostic labs. In response to such
increasing demand, many systems and solutions, such as the Thermo Fisher Scientific’s LIMS is experiencing increasing adoption, to help meet these challenges.
Thus this increasing demand has helped in the growth of the laboratory informatics market.

• There are also many applications seen in molecular diagnostics, that helps the physicians to improve their diagnoses and treatment of patients through a better
understanding of the unique genetic makeup of both patient and diseases. Therefore the clinical testing labs responding to this increase in genetics-based testing
realize that there needs to be a convergence of functionality between traditional LIS (Laboratory Information System) that manages secure patient information, and
LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) that enables the full management of laboratory information, sample tracking, dynamic workflows, and
instrument integration.

• In addition, LIMS is also finding applications in forensic science, metal and mining industry, and other biopharma laboratories, and thus the rising applications has

INCREASING NUMBER OF DIAGNOSES

• Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are widely preferred for management of disease diagnostic data as they meet a broad range of scientific needs
with their ability to provide a suitable environment that is easy to use across multiple disciplines.

• Lung cancer causes one in five cancer-related deaths worldwide that takes about 1.6 million lives a year with high rates of mortality. In England more than one third
of cases are diagnosed after presenting as an emergency, by which time the vast majority are already at a late stage. There has been increasing number of
diagnosis that is increasing the adoption of the lab informatics solutions.

• Thus the increased utility of CT scans in the detection and diagnosis of lung cancer is found to be increasing. To diagnose the lung cancer disease, physicians rely
on the segmentation of lesions on the lungs, using a combination of PET and CT scans. Therefore the number of rising scans is increasing the adoption of the lab
informatics solutions in hospitals and other care centers. The adoption of LIMS in hospitals is found to be rapidly increasing with a large number of enterprises
implementing the solution due to its advantages like better storage and operations.

• There has also been increasing number of genetic variations that comes from thousands of individuals and therefore it can now be identified with NGS whole
genome, exome, targeted and other approaches. However due to the dramatic increase in the number of NGS clinical genomics studies, there are increasingly
developing laboratory information managements systems (LIMS) to manage the thousands of patient samples that are subject to NGS analysis.

• According to the American Cancer Society 2018, the new cancer cases diagnosed is around 1,735,350 new cancer cases and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United
States. This increasing number of cancer cases has increased personalized medicine and has drive the demand for a system that combines features of both a LIMS
and an LIS. This gives rise to systems that manages all information related to patients, from point-of-care testing and diagnostics to treatment and thus helps in
increasing the market. This also often includes execution of complex, sample-oriented work flows (including data from sophisticated, automated instruments) while
ensuring good laboratory practices, regulatory compliance, and the security of patient information.

• Hence the increasing number of diagnosis has helped in the adoption of the lab informatics solutions thus driving the market.

LACK OF INTEGRATION STANDARDS FOR LABORATORY INFORMATICS

• The ability to exchange and manage the healthcare data effectively is found to be hampered by a lack of integration standards on multiple levels. There is an
increased data volume that presents the opportunity to improve innovation and enable timely and effective business decisions, it also presents significant data
management and integration challenges.

• In order to meet this challenge laboratories are looking to integrate laboratory operations and processes as much as possible in order to provide digital continuity
throughout the product lifecycle. Integrating laboratory instruments with the Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) is one of the best ways to
automate laboratory processes.

• For instance, the human genome sequencing project and the national institute of health roadmap initiative are found to be two examples. These were the large
multiparameter projects that were impossible a few years ago. Unfortunately, there are various LIMS implementation projects that either run out of time or lose
the momentum before they are able to accomplish their initial instrument integration goals.

• There are two elements that make Implementation and integration particularly crucial to the success. The integration with existing laboratory hardware and
software, including the Laboratory Information System (LIS), is vital to ensuring that the full benefits of digital pathology can be achieved. If that doesn’t happen,
or if it doesn’t runs smoothly, consumers are justly concerned that the efforts spent on this expensive endeavor won’t pay off.

• However it has been seen that laboratory informatics is not meeting consumer expectations for integration and implementation due to issues concerning
interoperability. These integration standard, thus require customization and additional labor during setup. It also run into problems more regularly as pathology
labs are growing and expanding.

• However the long-term consequence of poor integration and implementation is that consumers are bound to a particular vendor.

• Hence, there is a need for effective instrument integration that is crucial to improving the LIMS adoption and utilization rates, and a key factor in enhancing
productivity, efficiency, data integrity and innovation in your laboratory environment. Thus, all these factors are found to hamper the growth of the overall market.

LACK OF SKILLED PROFESSIONALS

• As per the survey of Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2017, the scarcity of skilled healthcare IT labors and
professionals is the major point of concern in the healthcare industry. Developed countries are also facing the challenge of lack of skilled labors.

• The US healthcare industry is currently facing a shortage of skilled labors in the healthcare IT sector, even though the country has a well-established
industry and people have higher adoptability to novel technologies. This lack of the skilled labors is ultimately affecting the market of laboratory
information systems (LIS). The labors who lack system and data integration knowledge cannot operate the LIS software.

• It has also been observed that there is a lack of professional courses on healthcare/hospital/lab informatics in medical schools across various regions,
particularly the developing nations and this is the major reason found for the dearth of skilled labors.

• For the end users of LIS, it is very difficult to find a person who can handle the software with ease. Therefore, it becomes one of the major limiting
factor for the end users to implement LIS in the point of care.

• Developing countries, like India, are growing rapidly in terms of population but the healthcare facilities provided are not up to the mark. To implement
services, like LIS in India, scarcity of tech-friendly labors becomes the major factor that restricts the end users from using LIS.

• However, the lack of skilled professionals and lack of integration of the old and new systems may hinder the market growth

INCREASING ACCEPTANCE IN BIOBANKS/BIOREPOSITORIES

• The collection, storage, and distribution of the biological materials for research and improving the health have been employed and therefore the
biorepositories have been used to maintain and reallocate these specimens using the advanced laboratory information management systems.

• Biobanks/Biorepositories are thus found to play a critical role in the research information network, and require an advanced laboratory information
management system (LIMS) to manage its bio specimen locations, online request management, data compliance and security, instrument integration,
chain of custody and patient demographics and client billing.

• The biorepositories have also been used to maintain and reallocate these specimens. Historically, the Department of Defense (DoD) has been maintaining
biorepositories and using the materials stored to expand the understanding of diseases and for developing medical countermeasures since the Civil War.
Other US government and nongovernmental organizations are also engaged in curating human and other samples for future studies.

• The Thermo Scientific Nautilus LIMS for Biobanks and Biorepositories enables an integrated research information network by improving sample
management and facilitating flawless transmission of data between multiple laboratories, partner organizations and the FDA. Hence, standardizing on a
single LIMS solution across collaborating organizations is a means of achieving easy data sharing and public access to findings. It is thus a vital
component, offering laboratories the security, interconnectivity, instrument integration, and data management capabilities necessary to manage complex
biobanks and biorepositories.

• BioBank softwares is a biobanking LIMS designed to meet the specific needs of biorepositories. It thus provides a powerful management tool for single-
site or multi-site biobanks, to promote scientific collaboration, maximize the value of samples and meet the regulatory requirements.

labs. As efforts are being taken to improve the laboratory operations to make it better, the demand for LIMS is rising. With the increasing demand,
LIMS is technologically advancing and its overall cost is thus found to be increasing, thus, escalating the implementation costs.

• Similarly, the cost of implementation for LIMS is quite high and is not affordable by everyone. The countries, in which the healthcare expenditure is
low, the implementation of such high cost systems and services become challenging, and it results in declining demand.

• The LIMS License fees of the laboratory information management system is also found to make the major cost of implementation process. While
many of the LIMS in the market today are working on the Software-as-a-Service model, there are still quite a few solutions which require expensive
hardware purchase to implement.

• The hardware of the systems are also costly and so is its maintenance. Therefore due to the high maintenance cost of these systems, the overall cost
of test increases, and the end users hesitate to obtain the services.

• In addition, the service costs are also being added to the implementation and therefore, all the cost associated with the LIMS solution is negatively
affecting the market studied.
