Global Laboratory Automation Market: Overview

Laboratory automation is the use of instrumentation or equipment to carry out laboratory processes with the least possible human involvement. Over the last few decades, laboratory automation has revolutionized the working process of laboratories. It has enabled the laboratories to offer the consumer a wide variety of tests at a lower cost per test and with fewer staff. Laboratory automation is used from a single step of an experimental process to the entire workflow.

Global Laboratory Automation Market: Growth Factors

The global laboratory automation market is growing at an exponential rate. The growing necessity of quick & precise clinical diagnostics, increase in drug discovery programs, current Covid-19 pandemic situation, and huge investments in healthcare infrastructure are some of the predominant factors that are boosting the growth of the global market. Laboratory automation provides several benefits including reduced test cost, faster processing, ease of interaction with laboratory information systems, and modularity as the laboratory automation systems are customizable. Additionally, the overall efficiency of the experimental processes is been enhanced by laboratory automation as it allows higher throughput of experiments, uses lower quantities of reagents, and cutting down wastes. In addition to this, it also allows saves time for the researchers to perform repetitive and time-consuming tasks allowing them to carry out specialized processes.

All these beneficial uses of laboratory automation are contributing to the growth of the global laboratory automation market. Moreover, the increase in R&D activities in the biotechnology & pharmaceutical industry and adoption of industry 4.0 are also some of the factors that are propelling the growth of the global market. In addition to this, the use of software, sensors, and robots are also one of the major factors that are driving the growth of the global market. Furthermore, the rise in penetration of artificial intelligence and the internet of thing-based tools in the diagnostic sector will provide ample opportunities for the growth of the global laboratory automation market over the forecast period. However, high initial investment and adoption of laboratory automation from small and medium-size laboratories may hinder the growth of the global laboratory automation market.

The Covid-19 pandemic has augmented the adoption of laboratory automation across the world. The continuous rise in Covid-19 cases has led to a substantial increase in diagnostic testing. In addition to this, the pandemic has a tremendous work pressure on the healthcare workers to perform tests and accordingly treat the patients. Also, to carry out the processing of a large number of samples fully automated workstations for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing are doled out. All these factors have spurred the growth of the global laboratory automation market during the pandemic and are expected to maintain a healthy growth rate owing to the ongoing pandemic situation.
