Abstract: Healthcare in India is continuously undergoing transformation. The possibilities for sustainable solutions in healthcare delivery and expanding global industry leadership of biotech and pharma are being driven by technologies. Innovation is a common numerator for catalyzing growth, value creation and sustainable competition. In this report, we review the key trends in healthcare segment with particular emphasis on the diagnostic landscape in India.

A robust growth has been witnessed by the diagnostic space which was driven by expansion in overall healthcare delivery, increased use of diagnostics and better healthcare access. The diagnostic segment being more receptive to adoption of advanced technologies is expected to continue its growth by 15-20%. This segment is seeing adoption of new products of innovation including genomics, less invasive testing approaches such as liquid biopsies, and more sensitive and multiplexed Point-of-Care tests across primary care, critical care and home use products. The notable trends in diagnostic delivery include consumer convenience, home collection of samples, digitization of reports and continuing pursuit of PPPs as a means to bridge the infrastructure gap. The innovation landscape in India is very encouraging; however, challenges to widespread adoption need to be addressed for realization of the country’s innovation pipeline value.

Keywords: undergoing transformation, widespread adoption, diagnostic landscape in India.
