Abstract
This best-selling Marketdata study is a comprehensive analysis of the
fragmented but sizeable $47 billion U.S. clinical lab testing business. The
industry is poised for moderate growth to 2012, as the U.S. population ages
and new tests are developed. Higher margin esoteric and anatomic pathology
tests are pacing growth and the large chains have made a string of
acquisitions in this space, to "buy" growth. International expansion could be
the next growth frontier.
The study examines, in detail, the major test segments: PAP tests,
workplace drug screening, and esoteric tests. An entire chapter is devoted to
the high-growth $5 billion "esoteric" or reference test market-its size,
growth, nature, profiles of all key competitors, with revenue rankings.

physician office labs-how they differ and compete, discussion of major
industry trends and demand factors, extensive national/state operating
ratios/latest Census and CLIA data. Analysis of industry receipts from
