Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Growing collaborations and acquisitions

Developed economies have been witnessing rapid growth in betterment of their healthcare sectors, driven by high investments, income levels, and infrastructure development. Several countries have experienced substantial demand for liquid handling systems owing to the rising research. Various collaborations, acquisitions and product launches with technological advanecments among different countries will be a crucial factor driving the growth of the market.

On February 27, 2023, in order to deliver integrated workflows for HT-ADME, high-throughput screening, and synthetic biology studies, SCIEX, an internationally recognized innovator in life science analytical methods, and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, an international leader in laboratory automated workflows and innovation, cooperated. The Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek and Echo liquid handling lines are now compatible with the SCIEX Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry-based Echo MS system.

Furthermore, the rising utilization of novel technology and different types of products and systems for the several research purposes. Rising technological advancements and increasing research for innovative product development will be a major factor driving the growth of the liquid handling systems market.

Economic impact of liquid handing error

Automated liquid handlers should dispense vital reagents in the desired quantity; otherwise, it is likely that hidden error may spread more and more as a process goes on. Even small variations in the amount of reagent transferred can affect the outcome, producing low-quality, pointless data and additional costs for follow-up corrective measures.

Allocating funds for a liquid handling procedure that is ongoing on the basis of possibly erroneous data could have a serious negative economic impact. Furthermore, there will be a large economic impact owing to the loss of priceless materials if the liquid delivery systems are exceeding goal amounts of expensive and/or uncommon chemicals.

Segment Analysis

The global liquid handling systems market is segmented based on product type, modality, application, end user and region.

Automatic liquid handling systems segment accounted for approximately 54% of market share

Automated liquid handling robots disperse and sample liquids in tubing or wells and are frequently integrated as automated injection components as the front portion of liquid chromatographic systems. This kind of equipment may additionally involve automated pipetting systems and microplate washers.

Other names for automated liquid handling systems include pipetting workstations, pipetting robots, and liquid handlers. The moving robot is controlled by a control center. To maintain sample safety, the washing station purifies the dispensing heads. The dispensing heads spray the liquid on the sample, and the sensors monitor its condition so that the control center can provide feedback as needed.

On February 27, 2023, the Agilent Bravo NGS automated liquid handling platform now includes an on-deck thermal cycler (ODTC), which was made available by Agilent Technologies Inc. The Bravo platform may provide heat cycling as a component of a computerized process for end-point PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and cell-based applications with the help of the optional ODTC accessory.

North America continues to be a key player in the global liquid handling systems market, with United States leading the way. Government initiatives promoting infrastructure development, investment and largest base of end users, and a focus on rising advancements have fueled the demand for liquid handling systems in the U.S. United States have been proactive in executing several initiatives or researches, stimulating liquid handling systems demand.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 created unprecedented challenges for industries worldwide, including the global liquid handling systems market. As countries grappled with lockdowns, supply chain disruptions and reduced economic activity, the pharmaceutical sector, with a significant consumer of various software or systems designs, was significantly impacted. Several efforts all throughout the world were impacted by the pandemic's broad lockdowns and limitations that started in early 2020.

Major medical and biotechnology industries came to a standstill and shifted their attention towards the management of COVID-19, leading to a slump in demand for liquid handling systems. Now several research studies have been initiated and companies have again started researching and launching their products. Overall, the impact of the pandemic on the global liquid handling systems market is expected to be relatively moderate, with the market continuing to grow steadily due to the ongoing need and research for innovative products, like automatic liquid handling systems.
