Increasing competition among clinical laboratory service providers in turn is leading to rampant increase in corporate cannibalization.

Clinical laboratory service providers are also focusing on vertical integration in the ecosystem. For example, in November 2016, Sonic Healthcare Limited increased its ownership stake in GLP Systems from 25% to 80%. GLP Systems, a Germany-based company, developed an innovative laboratory automation technology that enables seamless and automated transportation of specimen tubes between storage, work areas, and diagnostic machines. Sonic Healthcare Limited also expanded its presence in Germany by acquiring Staber Laboratory Group based in Munich, Germany, in November 2016.
