According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Laboratory Automation Market Report by Type (Modular Automation, Whole Lab Automation), Equipment and Software Type (Automated Clinical Laboratory Systems, Automated Drug Discovery Laboratory Systems), End-User (Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Companies, Hospitals and Diagnostic Laboratories, Research and Academic Institutes), and Region 2025-2033,” the global laboratory automation market reached a value of USD 7.2 Billion in 2024. Laboratory automation, or lab automation, refers to the utilization of a set of instruments for performing lab processes. The equipment used in lab automation is embedded with an interface mechanism to enable different instruments to communicate and move specimens amongst each other. This equipment consists of conveyor belts, circuit boards, programable robotic equipment, a track system, and control software. Laboratory automation offers various benefits, such as reduced test costs, faster processing, modularity, and decreased manual labor. It also eases the interaction with hospital information systems (HIS) and laboratory information systems (LIS). Laboratory automation can be differentiated into autoanalyzer, closed automation, open automation, discrete analysis, single-channel analysis, multiple-channel analysis, random access analysis, and assays.
Global Laboratory Automation Market Trends:
There has been a significant shift from manual intervention to automated processes across clinical laboratories for more reliable results, safer working conditions, improved productivity, and increased savings on space, time and costs. This shift is primarily driving the global lab automation market growth. The escalating demand for miniaturization of research processes for performing complex tasks in microbiology, clinical chemistry, and biotechnology is further fueling the market growth. Other than this, the widespread establishment of research and development (R&D) institutions and pharmaceutical laboratories across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a value of USD 12.3 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.12% during 2025-2033.
