Laboratory Information System Market Overview

The laboratory Information System Market USD 2.91 billion in 2025 and estimated to reach around USD 3.19 billion in 2026, is projected to reach around USD 7.03 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of about 9.20 % during the forecast period from 2026 to 2035. Different products, such as integrated and standalone, are majorly contributing to the laboratory information system market size. A laboratory information system (LIS) is a software solution that manages the obtaining, handling, and storage of information created by laboratories. It helps to simplify laboratory processes to reduce specimen handling time, enhance turnaround time, and increase productivity.

Market growth is expected due to the growing aging population, which is susceptible to chronic diseases, a desire for high-quality diagnosis, and growing awareness of these solutions. In addition, strategic collaborations and partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions among the major industry players are also fueling the market growth. The growing stress on the clinical labs that are already working at full capacity, encourages higher usage of laboratory information systems to alleviate the unnecessary stress from the setting especially when they use a large number of hazardous chemicals every day that can cause drastic biohazards.

The primary obstacle to market growth is that these systems are also vulnerable to technical issues resulting in interoperability problems that prevent widespread adoption. The longer time taken and the technical complexities to overcome while integrating the new systems with the existing infrastructure also hinder the growth of the market. However, help in maintaining traceability and data integrity along with ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, the growing awareness of the benefits offered by these solutions, and the rising demand for quality assurance and precise test results are creating novel growth opportunities.

Laboratory Information System Market Segmentation

Insight by Product

The global laboratory information system is divided by-products into standalone system and integrated system segments, where the standalone system segment is expected to hold a larger market share due to tech developments and the rise in the adoption of cloud-based systems. However, the growth of the integrated systems is also expected to continue as in the historical period due to the reduction in the separate service and maintenance charges.

Insight by Component

The components split the global laboratory information system into software and services segments, where the latter segment is expected to hold a larger share and grow at a faster rate due to the growing need for software upgrading, software maintenance after installation, and training requirements. Another significant factor for the growth of this segment is the accessibility of advanced services offered by the key players.

Insight by Delivery Mode

The global laboratory information system is categorized by the delivery mode into web-based, on-premise, and cloud-based segments. Among these segments, the on-premise segment will account for the larger share during the forecast period due to personalized delivery modes and higher data security.

Insight by End User

The different end users also divide the global laboratory information system into hospital laboratories, independent laboratories, physician office laboratories, and other segments. Out of all these segments, the independent laboratory segment will grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Still, the hospital laboratories segment will account for the largest share of the market.
