What is Laboratory Automation?

Laboratory automation refers to the employment of various devices and software to automate numerous scientific research activities in laboratories. It comprises robots, conveyor systems, machine vision, and computer hard and software, which ensures the safety and accuracy of a wide variety of research activities and sample management. It assists in the real-time analysis of tests by eliminating human errors and considerably reducing human workload. It involves the automation of various integral aspects of the research procedure, such as storing, sorting, decapping, recapping, retrieval, accessioning, and centrifugation of samples. It also helps enhance the testing capacity and workflow of research laboratories, reduce cost per test, and decrease turnaround time. Laboratory automation plays a crucial role in maximizing the accuracy of various test results and minimizing the occurrence of errors to increase operational efficiency. It also enables laboratories to deliver test reports quickly, ensuring that actionable information is available on short notice for reviewing purposes. Furthermore, as laboratory automation allows researchers to focus on various core activities and reduce their time to complete repetitive tasks, its demand is increasing around the world.

COVID-19 Impact:

The outbreak of coronavirus negatively impacted the market of laboratory automation as governing agencies of various countries imposed lockdowns, which caused the shutting down of numerous chemical laboratories. The pandemic has also caused a shortage in the supply of laboratory automation systems, and limitations on road movement have severely impacted domestic as well as international supply chains in the short term. On the other hand, a tremendous need to scale up automation solutions was experienced due to the high demand for laboratory automation in labs to handle extensive volumes of samples on a daily basis during the pandemic. Apart from this, there was a shortage of labor in research laboratories due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and lockdowns imposed in numerous countries, which impelled the growth of the laboratory automation market.

Laboratory Automation Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for laboratory automation, as it assists in reducing overall labor costs and boosting productivity, represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the rising integration of laboratory automation to fasten drug discovery processes is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, governing agencies of various countries are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to produce novel drugs for treating a wide variety of chronic disorders and cancers. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of laboratory automation to reduce the wastage of samples, consumables, and reagents is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising utilization of microfluidic ships or lab-on chips in advanced biological research, such as proteomics, genomics, and metabolic research, is strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing demand for personalized medications to effectively treat illnesses is bolstering the growth of the market.
