Laboratory proficiency testing, or external quality assessment (EQA), refers to the tests conducted for determining and measuring the performance of independent laboratories. It involves quantitative, qualitative, sequential, simultaneous, single occasion and continuous testing, sampling, data transformation and interpretation. The tests are usually conducted to provide accreditation and ensure the optimum performance of these laboratories. The results obtained from different laboratories are compared to each other for elaborate comparative analysis. As a result, the testing solutions find extensive applications across various industries, including food and beverage, medical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical.

Significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Laboratory proficiency testing is widely used in the manufacturing of generic and biosimilar drugs and eliminate chemical residual solvents in prescription opioids. Furthermore, the increasing instances of chemical contamination in food products are providing a thrust to the market growth. Various food safety and regulatory authorities are implementing stringent policies for maintaining the quality standards in ready-to-eat (RTE) and packaged food products. The tests are conducted using polymerase chain reaction, immunoassay, chromatography and spectrometry technologies for pathogen, endotoxin, pyrogen and other microbial testing. In line with this, the increasing requirement for microbial water quality analysis is also favoring the market growth. Other factors, including various technological advancements, such as the utilization of fully automated instruments for proficiency testing in laboratories, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
