Diagnostic chains, which constitute the organized market, have emerged in recent
years. The CRISIL Research Report defines the organized market as constituting
diagnostic service providers that offer pathology and imaging services and operate
out of more than one center, with large chains that have a pan-India presence. These
players adopt the hub and spoke model of business operations and utilize modern
logistics and information management systems to operate their network. According
to the CRISIL Research Report in 2014 - 15, the share of diagnostic chains in the
overall diagnostic market in India was approximately 15%. It is expected that the
share of diagnostic chains in the overall diagnostic market in India will grow at a
CAGR of
approximately 21-23% to reach 16% in the fiscal year 2017-2018.

Diagnostic chains can be further categorized into large pan-India chains and regional
chains. Currently, there are approximately seven large diagnostic chains in India,
based on their revenues. These chains had an estimated 35-40% of the diagnostic

chains market share in the fiscal year 2014-2015. Regional chains are diagnostic
chains with centers concentrated in a single city or state in India. Regional chains
had approximately 60-65% of the diagnostic chains market share in India in the fiscal

chains will grow to about 37-42% of the diagnostic chains market share.
