Which Key Factors Are Driving The Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market Growth?
The projected expansion of biosimilars is set to drive the growth of the laboratory proficiency testing market. Biosimilars are defined as biologic medicinal products that mimic an original product manufactured by a separate entity. As the biosimilar market expands, there is a heightened requirement for analytical and bioanalytical assessments of these items. This, consequently, increases the demand for laboratory proficiency testing services, which are crucial for ensuring the precision and dependability of test outcomes. For instance, in January 2023, according to Cardinal Health Inc., a US-based healthcare company, the U.S. had 33 FDA-approved biosimilar products, with 21 available on the market as of January 2022. This count subsequently rose to 40 FDA-approved biosimilars by 2023, of which 25 became commercially accessible. Thus, the ongoing expansion within the biosimilars market is a key driver for the laboratory proficiency testing market’s growth.

Which Trends Are Guiding The Direction Of The Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market?
Leading companies in the aboratory proficiency testing market are increasingly concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as web-based proficiency testing laboratory information management systems. This focus aims to address the growing demand for scalable, user-friendly, and secure proficiency testing workflows, driven by the necessity for digital transformation, regulatory adherence, and more efficient inter-laboratory comparisons. A web-based proficiency testing laboratory information management system is a cloud-accessible platform that enables participating laboratories to submit test results, view reports, and track their performance through a web browser, a notable departure from traditional paper-based or desktop-only PT systems that rely on manual input, offline reporting, and fragmented processes. For instance, in June 2025, APHA Scientific, a UK-based provider of veterinary proficiency testing (VETQAS), launched PT-LIMS, their modernized proficiency testing management platform. This system features a revamped, intuitive user interface, clearer reporting functionalities, enhanced accessibility, and improved data security with GDPR-compliant safeguards. It supports participants in submitting results online, processes those results to generate tabulated reports, and notifies users automatically when the reports are ready. By digitizing and centralizing the PT workflow, PT-LIMS reduces administrative burden, improves the turnaround time for feedback, and enhances traceability and the user experience.
