The clinical laboratory tests market in the UK is expected to witness rapid growth over the forecast period due to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing awareness about early diagnosis, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure. Using clinical data informatics platforms through productive research collaborations is anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

The UK NHS provides free universal coverage for clinical testing to all citizens. Most of the tests are provided for by NHS laboratories; however, private laboratories have recently entered the market, making an impact by increasing revenue and the number of tests offered. 

In addition, developing novel products to diagnose chronic disorders is another major factor driving the market. For instance, in July 2022, Metadeq, Inc., a startup based in London, announced a revolutionary non-invasive blood test that utilizes two new circulating proteins to precisely diagnose liver fibrosis and NASH and determine the stages of both diseases without the need for a liver biopsy.
