Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Industry Drivers: What Is Driving Revenue Growth?
The expansion of the biosimilars sector is anticipated to be a key driver for the laboratory proficiency testing market. Biosimilars are biological medications that are virtually identical to already-approved reference products, manufactured by different companies. With the increasing prevalence of biosimilars, the necessity for rigorous analytical and bioanalytical assessments of these complex products becomes more pronounced, consequently boosting the demand for laboratory proficiency testing. This demand stems from the critical need to validate and ensure the precision and trustworthiness of testing outcomes. To illustrate this trend, Cardinal Health Inc., a U.S. healthcare entity, reported that in January 2022, the United States had 33 biosimilar products authorized by the FDA, of which 21 were accessible. By January 2023, this figure had risen to 40 FDA-approved biosimilars, with 25 actively marketed. Consequently, the burgeoning biosimilars market is directly contributing to the advancement of the laboratory proficiency testing market.

#Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Growth Trends: What Is Influencing The Future Outlook?
The proficiency testing market for laboratories is witnessing a significant trend where leading organizations are prioritizing the creation of cutting-edge offerings, exemplified by web-based laboratory information management systems for proficiency testing, in response to the growing need for systems that are scalable, user-friendly, and secure. This surge is fueled by the broader push towards digital transformation, the imperative of regulatory adherence, and the desire for more streamlined comparisons between laboratories. Such a web-based system provides cloud-based access, enabling laboratories to input their findings, access reports, and monitor their progress via a web browser, a notable departure from older methods that involved manual data entry, offline reports, and disjointed processes. To illustrate, APHA Scientific, a UK-based entity specializing in veterinary proficiency testing (VETQAS), introduced PT-LIMS in June 2025, a contemporary platform designed to manage proficiency testing. This platform boasts a redesigned, intuitive user interface, more lucid reporting capabilities, improved accessibility, and fortified data protection measures aligned with GDPR. It facilitates online result submission from participants, processes these results to produce summarized reports, and automatically alerts users upon report availability. Through the centralization and digitalization of the proficiency testing process, PT-LIMS aims to alleviate administrative tasks, expedite feedback delivery, and elevate both traceability and the overall user experience.
