Global Laboratory Automation Market

The global laboratory automation market has experienced a moderate growth over the past several years. This can be attributed to the numerous government initiatives coupled with advancements in automated systems.

The latest report by IMARC Group, entitled “Laboratory Automation Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, finds that the global laboratory automation market reached a value of US$ 4.3 Billion in 2017. Laboratory automation refers to the utilization of automated systems so as to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of scientific research in laboratories. These systems are generally an integration of robotics, computer hardware and software, conveyor systems, machine vision, etc. that aid in achieving standardized and real-time analysis as well as improving performance by eliminating human errors. Nowadays, the most advanced lab automation systems include immunoassay, hematology, hemostasis and chemistry testing along with pre- and post-analytical processing. On account of rising competition and demand for higher efficacy in both research and clinical labs, the demand for laboratory automation systems has increased in the recent years.

Global Laboratory Automation Market Trends:

Automated laboratory software has improved the productivity of testing solutions, enabling the lab teams to view history and track sample details anywhere at any time. Apart from this, several manufacturers have designed automated systems and software to improve workflow with decreased costs per test, reduced turnaround time, fewer errors and increased testing capacity. Moreover, the development of bench-top and standalone automated systems has facilitated the introduction of automation in smaller labs. Further, the governments of various countries are taking initiatives to enhance their laboratory research, in turn, creating a huge demand for laboratory automation. For instance, Genomics Research and Development Initiative (GRDI) by the government of Canada utilizes automated laboratory systems to increase test speed and minimize cost inputs. Owing to these factors, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ 5.9 Billion by 2023, exhibiting a CAGR of around 5% during 2018-2023.
