## Frequently Asked Questions

# CHAPTER 12 - FAQs

#### Q: How large is the Vietnam Diagnostic Labs Market in the base year?

**A:** The Vietnam Diagnostic Labs Market was valued at USD 1.12 billion in 2025, representing separately billed laboratory services across hospital-based laboratories, independent diagnostic centers, clinic laboratories, public-health laboratories and mobile collection models. The estimate corresponds to approximately 180 million diagnostic test orders and average net revenue of USD 6.22 per order. Supply-side provider revenue, healthcare-utilization parameters and demand-side expenditure were reconciled to avoid double-counting referred tests and bundled hospital services.

**Data used:** USD 1.12 billion market value in 2025; 180 million test orders in 2025

**So what:** Market entrants should prioritize scalable referral networks and differentiated test menus rather than competing only on routine-test price.

#### Q: What growth rate is expected through 2031?

**A:** Market revenue is projected to reach USD 1.83 billion by 2031, implying an 8.53% CAGR from the 2025 base. Test volume is forecast to grow more slowly, at approximately 6.32%, because molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, oncology biomarkers and specialized pathology increase average revenue per order. The projection assumes continued insurance utilization, expanding independent laboratory networks, gradual provincial access improvement and no structural reduction in routine laboratory reimbursement.

**Data used:** USD 1.83 billion in 2031; 8.53% value CAGR during 2025-2031

**So what:** Investors should separate volume growth from mix-led revenue expansion when valuing laboratory platforms and expansion projects.

#### Q: Where will the market's profit pool shift during the forecast period?

**A:** Incremental profit is expected to shift toward centralized molecular laboratories, oncology testing, prenatal genetics, specialized reference assays, home collection and outsourced hospital testing. Routine chemistry and hematology will remain the largest volume pools but face stronger reimbursement and price pressure. Providers with high analyzer utilization, efficient sample logistics, validated specialist capability and digital physician connectivity can spread fixed costs across broader referral networks and protect margins while smaller standalone facilities remain concentrated in lower-value services.

**Data used:** Average revenue per test rising from USD 6.22 in 2025 to USD 7.04 in 2031

**So what:** Strategy teams should direct capital toward high-complexity capacity that can serve multiple cities from centralized hubs.

#### Q: What is the most important market constraint?

**A:** Uneven access to quality-assured, specialized testing outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is the largest structural constraint. Provincial expansion requires sample logistics, digital tracking, trained personnel, stable reagent supply and sufficient referral density to absorb fixed laboratory costs. ISO 15189-aligned quality systems and specialist staffing increase operating discipline but also raise investment requirements. Price sensitivity remains material because households continue to finance a significant share of healthcare expenditure directly.

**Data used:** Approximately 40% out-of-pocket share of health spending; 129% provincial hospital bed occupancy in 2022

**So what:** New provincial sites should be deployed through hub-and-spoke economics and contracted referral volume rather than standalone greenfield capacity.

#### Q: How does Vietnam compare with neighboring diagnostic-laboratory markets?

**A:** Vietnam ranks third by 2025 market value among the selected peers, behind Indonesia and Malaysia and close to the Philippines. Its 8.53% forecast CAGR is the highest in the comparison set, exceeding Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. Vietnam combines a population above 100 million, high insurance coverage and a hospital-centered delivery model, giving operators a broad base of recurring orders despite lower per-capita diagnostic spending than Malaysia.

**Data used:** Vietnam market size of USD 1.12 billion in 2025; peer-leading CAGR of 8.53%

**So what:** Regional operators can use Vietnam as a growth platform while centralizing specialized tests that benefit from cross-border scale.

#### Q: Which demand drivers will contribute most to future test volumes?

**A:** Chronic-disease monitoring, tuberculosis case finding, cancer diagnosis, preventive health checks, corporate screening and maternal or genetic testing will provide the strongest recurring demand. Vietnam recorded more than 113,000 tuberculosis notifications in 2024 and an estimated 180,480 new cancer cases in 2022. High insured medical utilization generates routine orders, while expanding clinical awareness increases referrals for biomarkers, pathology and molecular confirmation. Home collection further reduces access friction for repeat monitoring.

**Data used:** More than 113,000 tuberculosis cases in 2024; 180,480 new cancer cases in 2022

**So what:** Providers should align collection networks and specialist test menus with high-frequency disease pathways rather than broad undifferentiated expansion.
