This comprehensive report on the market for clinical in vitro diagnostic (IVD)
tests in India covers both reagent and instrumentation markets for the
following IVD sectors:
- Routine Chemistry
- Critical Care Chemistry
- Hematology
- Urinalysis
- Coagulation
- Immunochemistry
- Molecular Testing
The report details all the critical market data in each segment, including:
- Current size of the reagents by subsegment
- Current size of the instrumentation markets by subsegment
- Number of units and tests by type
- Average cost per test by type
- Market share of the major reagent suppliers
- Number and types of labs in operation
- Installed base market share of the various instruments

The report also provides an overview of the Indian economy as a whole and the
structure of the healthcare system in particular. In addition, profiles of 16
major international and 15 domestic manufacturers and 32 major distributors
contain local contact information, local staff size, product offerings, and
marketing and distribution representation relationships.
This study is the result of on-the-ground primary research by the well-known
Seattle-based team of McEvoy & Farmer. Although the focus is on what is
happening now, the report provides historical background from McEvoy &
Farmer' s 10+ years of studying IVD markets in Asia and particularly India and
China.
