TAM

$256.9 billion

TAM defined as the global annual spend on clinical laboratory testing and associated specialist interpretation that covers routine blood and urine tests (the revenue pool that this product aims to shift to near‑home automated collection, results review, and specialist interpretation). Market research firms estimate the global clinical laboratory services market at approximately USD 256.9 billion in 2024. (IMARC reports ~USD 256.9B for global clinical laboratory services in 2024; other independent trackers report comparable ranges and growth projections.) Adjacent delivery channels and complements — notably remote patient monitoring systems (~USD 22.0B estimated global market in 2024) and the direct‑to‑consumer / at‑home testing channel (multi‑billion and fast‑growing) — materially enlarge addressable opportunity but largely sit as subsets or adjacent channels of the clinical laboratory services market and are therefore noted rather than double‑counted in the headline TAM number.

SAM

$40.3 billion

SAM defined as the North America addressable market for near‑home routine blood and urine testing plus the integrated result interpretation and follow‑up workflows the product provides. Calculation steps and assumptions: (1) start from the global TAM (USD 256.9B in 2024 per IMARC) and apply North America’s market share (IMARC: ~39.2% of the global clinical laboratory services market in 2024) to obtain a North America lab services market of ~USD 100.7B (2024 base). (2) Identify the sub‑segments that the product can realistically address: outpatient/routine clinical chemistry and urinalysis panels used for chronic disease monitoring (diabetes, CKD, hypertension), direct‑to‑consumer / home collection channels, and institutional automation + software/workflow fees. Market evidence shows clinical chemistry and urinalysis are large, recurring subsegments and chronic disease prevalence drives repeated testing (see clinical‑chemistry/urinalysis market analyses and disease prevalence sources). (3) Apply a conservative capture fraction of 40% of the North America lab services market to represent the portion made up of routine outpatient blood/urine testing, repeat chronic‑disease monitoring, DTC/home‑collection opportunity and accompanying automation/software services that could be shifted to a near‑home/automated model. Numerically: 0.40 × USD 100.7B ≈ USD 40.3B. Sensitivity: using a 30–50% fraction gives a SAM interval of roughly USD 30–50B; the primary sensitivities are (a) the exact definition of “routine” tests vs. specialist/esoteric testing, (b) the treatment of institutional automation sales (included here), and (c) the speed of payer / health system adoption of near‑home specimen collection and interpretation services. Key demand drivers behind the assumed fraction include high and growing prevalence of diabetes, CKD and hypertension (which require recurring panels such as HbA1c, BMP/renal panels and urine albumin testing) and the fast growth of DTC and RPM channels that enable near‑home workflows.

SOM

$200 million

SOM defined as a plausible near‑term (3–5 year) revenue outcome for a market entrant pursuing a US‑first rollout, selling a combined web platform + automated near‑home testing service and institution‑facing automation/integration. Calculation and rationale: base SAM (North America) ≈ USD 40.3B. A conservative achievable penetration for an early‑stage entrant over 3–5 years is set at 0.5% of that SAM (reflecting phased regional adoption, payer and health‑system partnerships, and pilot‑to‑scale conversion). 0.005 × USD 40.3B ≈ USD 201.4M; presented here as USD 200M (rounded). Interpretive check: that SOM corresponds to roughly 800k–1.0M active chronic patients at an illustrative blended annual revenue per patient of USD 200–250 (testing + platform + specialist interpretation and follow‑up), or equivalent revenue driven by a smaller number of institutional automation contracts. The enrolment target is small relative to the overall US chronic disease pool (examples: diabetes ~38M in the US per CDC reporting; CKD prevalence estimates and hypertension prevalence are also very large), acknowledging overlap across conditions; therefore the patient pool is sufficient to reach the SOM under a successful GTM. Key risks that could reduce achievable SOM include slow payor/reimbursement uptake, EMR integration delays, and hospital procurement cycles; upside drivers include accelerated RPM and DTC adoption and institutional lab automation budgets.
