Lab Automation Market Growth & Trends 2023 to 2030

The global lab automation market size was estimated at USD 6.87 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.64% from 2023 to 2030. Laboratory automation utilizes a special kind of technology to streamline or substitute the manual manipulation of methods and equipment. Based on the laboratory workflow, the level and degree of automation are decided. The higher adoption of automated instruments is most often observed at academic and research institutes to bolster productivity and decrease the time spent on different time-consuming tasks.

The rising application of lab automation for speeding up laboratory processes is one of the major factors contributing to market expansion. For instance, Clinical chemistry applications have been replaced by lab automation for tasks such as solid-phase extraction, powder dosing, dilution to weight, sample extraction, and sample preparation for analysis. Similarly, for synthetic biology workflow processes, tasks such as DNA fragment construction, the culture of the host organism, colony selection, final data collection, and analysis have been replaced by automated processes. Therefore, an increase in the number of applications is expected to fuel their adoption in the coming years.

Detailed Segmentation:

Process Insights

The continuous flow segment held the largest revenue share of 56.93% in 2022. The higher revenue growth of the segment is owing to the higher demand for continuous flow systems in industries and the surging adoption of continuous flow in laboratories for offering high-quality services. Moreover, continuous flow is among the widely preferred techniques and is also suitable when there is a need to analyze a large number of samples.

End-use Insights

Factors such as technological advancements, rising preference for automated laboratory instruments, and higher demand for automation in clinical chemistry labs for sample handling, storage, and labeling are contributing to the largest revenue share of 27.17% for the clinical chemistry analysis segment.

In addition, supportive government legislation, and flourishing demand from small and medium-sized laboratories are also projected to drive segment uptake. Recently market players have launched automatic lab systems for clinical chemistry analysis. For instance, in May 2021 Beckman Coulter launched DxA 5000 Fit, a workflow automation system for medium-sized labs.

Automation Type Insights

The modular automation systems segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 51.69% in 2022. The largest revenue share of the segment is attributed to the mix-and-match capabilities and flexibility capabilities offered by modular automation systems. In addition, the rising application of modular systems across end-users is another factor supporting market expansion. These kinds of systems are suitable for labs that need automation for specific processes.

Regional Insights

North America led the global lab automation market with a revenue share of 35.76%. The high growth of the region is attributed to, the presence of a well-established healthcare framework, and robust demand for automation systems across laboratories owing to speed, consistency, and precision. The market is also driven by rising demand for integrated laboratory systems and supportive government legislation for research.

Moreover, increasing demand for high throughput analysis and various strategic initiatives undertaken by players operating in the region are also likely to support market expansion. For instance, in February 2023 Automata, a leading provider of lab automation services announced its expansion in the U.S. With this expansion the company is planning to unlock new automation potential.
