The 2024 Analytical & Life Science Instrumentation Service Market

The 2024 Analytical & Life Science Instrumentation Service Market ANALYSIS AND PERSPECTIVE

The servicing of analytical and life science instrumentation is vital to maintaining instrument performance capabilities and maximize the life of costly lab assets. Whether provided by the original instrument manufacturer or by a third party service provider, the service market includes all service contracts and any replacement parts installed during servicing. Other services like software support and validation service are also included. However, the value of in-house service is excluded from our analysis.

Despite economic challenges in China and cautious consumer spending in North America and Europe, the demand for servicing existing analytical instruments remains constant. These instruments play essential roles in quality control, quality assurance, analytical service release testing, applied R&D, and basic research across various industries. Routine preventive maintenance and timely repairs are critical drivers in the service industry, helping offset declines in instrument purchases and associated service contracts.

During the pandemic, new features such as remote support, live chat, video conferencing, and desktop sharing gained prominence. Coupled with a generational shift, increased instrument downtime, and rising costs, these features now address customer needs more effectively. Further as artificial intelligence continues to advance, there is a growing need to implement intelligent features that further reduce instrument downtime and costs for both users and vendors. While the successful implementation remains to be seen, it’s evident that customers are receptive to ideas that lower service costs, improve response times, reduce instrument downtimes, and extend the life of their instruments.
