What Important Drivers Are Powering The Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Growth?
The expansion in biosimilars is projected to stimulate the growth of the laboratory proficiency testing market moving forward. Biosimilars are categorized as biologic medicinal products that essentially replicate an original product manufactured by a distinct firm. As the biosimilar market grows, there is an elevated necessity for analytical and bioanalytical assessments of these offerings. This scenario is expected to drive an upsurge in demand for laboratory proficiency testing services, critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test outcomes. For instance, in January 2023, Cardinal Health Inc., a US-based healthcare company, stated that as of January 2022, the U.S. had 33 FDA-approved biosimilar products, with 21 available on the market. By 2023, this count increased to 40 FDA-approved biosimilars, 25 of which were commercially accessible. Therefore, the growth in the biosimilars market is driving the growth of the laboratory proficiency testing market.

What Trends Are Influencing The Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Outlook?
Leading companies in the laboratory proficiency testing sector are increasingly concentrating on creating advanced solutions, particularly web-based proficiency testing laboratory information management systems. This focus addresses the growing need for scalable, easy-to-use, and secure proficiency testing processes, spurred by the push for digital transformation, adherence to regulations, and more effective comparisons between laboratories. Such a web-based system is accessible via the cloud, allowing participating laboratories to submit test outcomes, access reports, and monitor their performance through a web browser, a significant departure from older paper-based or desktop-only PT systems that relied on manual data entry, offline reporting, and fragmented operations. For instance, in June 2025, APHA Scientific, a UK-based provider of veterinary proficiency testing (VETQAS), introduced PT-LIMS, their updated proficiency testing management platform. This system boasts a redesigned, intuitive user interface, clearer reporting functions, improved accessibility, and enhanced data security through GDPR-compliant measures. It enables participants to submit results online, processes these results to generate tabulated reports, and automatically alerts users when reports are ready. By digitising and centralising the entire proficiency testing process, PT-LIMS effectively reduces administrative workload, speeds up feedback delivery, and boosts both traceability and user satisfaction.
