   Market Overview
 

Environmental Concerns Drive the Analytical Laboratory Services Market

Reduction in government spending on environment-related issues, increasing cost of labor, and stringent control on spending by the pharmaceutical industry has severely dented the growth of the analytical laboratory services market. "Analytical laboratories analyze selected chemical constituents of a sample, which may be soil, plant, water, wastewater, feed, or even parts of human tissues," according to the analyst of this study. "Major end users for these services include life science and pharmaceutical companies, industrial plants, government bodies, hospitals, as well as environmental and academic institutions."

Despite the challenges faced by this industry, it is bound to recover due to government legislations such as the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 – changed later to the Clean Water Act in 1977 – which dictates the discharge levels of pollutants into the water in the country. Furthermore, the Clean Air Act that was introduced in 1990 issues guidelines for providing clean air to American citizens. These stringent regulations are driving the demand for services provided by environmental analytical laboratories.

Stringent Government Regulations Aid Market Growth

Additional government regulations on occupational health and safety of workers are likely to drive this market. Companies are mandated to maintain prescribed noise levels to provide ambient working environments for employees. Laboratories that have industrial hygiene as their core service have seen steady demand during the last two years due to these regulations. Local as well as federal governments in North America mandate occupational health and safety norms similar to environment regulations.

In addition, major cost reduction by pharmaceutical companies has affected laboratories in a positive way. "Such cost-cutting measures have resulted in the outsourcing of laboratory services to contract research organizations and small analytical laboratories," explains the analyst. "There has been an upswing in number of samples received by analytical laboratories and the necessity to develop new drugs is certainly looking bullish for analytical laboratories."
