Creating value in clinical laboratories
Is the consolidation played out?
In the last two decades, Mansfield clients have led the consolidation of clinical laboratories in Europe and the USA.
In many client situations, smaller, ‘artisanal’ laboratories have been integrated into large laboratory groups with high degrees of automation and with higher buying power with the diagnostic providers.
The question arises: is clinical laboratory consolidation played out? Our view is that there are still opportunities, but they are very country specific.
In the UK for example, market dynamics remain shaped by the NHS outsourcing framework, and rising demand for community diagnostics.
Mansfield Advisors brings perspective from across healthcare services and life sciences. We analyse laboratory businesses not only on scientific capability, but also on operational resilience, growth potential, and investor returns.
Our clinical laboratories leads
Our teams combine scientific expertise with deal experience. We bring rigour to forecasting and valuation, assess regulatory and market access dynamics, and help frame development strategies that appeal to potential partners or acquirers. This ensures that investment cases are built on realistic assumptions and that transactions are structured to capture fair value.
Beyond transactions, we support operational priorities such as target operating model design, performance improvement, and digital and data strategy. By combining strategic clarity with an understanding of scientific and clinical realities, we help biotech firms and their backers make sound decisions in an increasingly competitive market.
