Metabolic Panel Testing Market Share

North America Market Insights

North America dominates the metabolic panel testing market and is projected to hold the market share of 37.6% at a CAGR of 7.1% by 2034. The market is driven by a rise in chronic cases, adoption of routine screening, and favorable reimbursement ecosystems. Moreover, the rising diabetic cases and kidney-related diseases in 2024 have impacted over 133.3 million people in the U.S., demanding testing in both primary and tertiary care. Further encouraging continued use are higher government payouts via Medicare and Medicaid.  NIH and CIHI funding aid local innovation and test standardization among urban and rural labs. As the U.S. and Canada prioritize telehealth and preventive care, the adoption of metabolic panel tests is expected to rise with point-of-care analyzers and home-based diagnostics.

The U.S. market for metabolic panel testing is driven by increased incidences of chronic diseases and continued federal healthcare spending. As of 2024, more than 133.4 million adults live with diabetes, kidney disease, or other related metabolic disorders, which all necessitate regular BMP and CMP testing. Medicare funding for the market has increased by 15.6% from 2020 to 2024, reaching USD 800.5 million due to the enhancements in the reimbursement under coverage for preventive care. Medicaid increased diagnostic coverage by 10.6%, with USD 1.6 billion spent in 2024. The NIH and AHRQ spent more than USD 1.7 billion on diagnostic R&D, with metabolic test innovation a prime focus. Increased dependence upon automated laboratory platforms and telehealth-associated diagnostics has led key players to develop fast, mobile analyzers that can interface with EHR systems.

Asia Pacific Market Insights

The APAC region is the fastest-growing sector in the metabolic panel testing market and is projected to hold the market share of 22.6% with a CAGR of 8.4% by 2034. The market experiences a drastic shift due to rising chronic illness, healthcare modernization, and expanding public diagnostic infrastructure. The test volumes in the market are rising due to the increase in cases such as kidney disease, diabetes, and electrolyte imbalances. In addition to modern hospital facilities in metropolitan areas, the government's Healthy China 2030 program in China has extended the coverage of metabolic tests to rural areas. On the other hand, the local manufacturers are supported with local R&D to enhance the public funding, test accessibility, and national research priorities across AMED, NMPA, and MoHFW.

China is leading the metabolic panel testing market in Asia Pacific and is projected to have an 8.2% market share by 2034. China’s expenditure on metabolic diagnostics increased by 15.5% according to the statistics of the National Medical Products Administration, to cater to the healthcare priority of the government. On the other hand, 1.8 million people were diagnosed with metabolic conditions in 2023, indicating a surge in diagnostic demand. Under the Healthy China 2030 initiative, the automation of urban labs was obviously intensified. 181 newly built country hospitals had diagnostic services. These investments are evidence of a strong national policy to decentralize and modernize metabolic testing capability across the Chinese health system.
