Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Standalone Automated Liquid Handlers, Microplate Reagent Dispensers, Multi Instrument System, Automated Liquid Handling Workstation, Workstation Module, Reagents & Consumables, Pipettes & Consumables, Individual Benchtop Workstation, Specialized Liquid Handler, Burettes, Other Products), Connectivity (Wired Connection, Wireless Connection), Modality (Disposable Tips, Fixed Tips), Type (Electronic Liquid Handling Systems, Automated Liquid Handling Systems, Manual Liquid Handling Systems), procedures (Array Printing, Plate Reformatting, High Throughput Screening, PCR Setup, Whole Genome Amplification, Cell Culture, Serial Dilution, Plate Replication, Others), Application, End User and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market is accounted for $ 1.87billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $ 3.794billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 12.44% during the forecast period. Automated liquid handling (ALH) systems are devices that are carefully configured to manage liquids and provide exact, repeatable outcomes in clinical and research settings without any complication. In clinical and research labs, effective and precise liquid handling techniques are crucial. For usage in methods like ELISA, time-resolved fluorescence, nucleic acid preparation, PCR setup, next-generation sequencing for genomic research, TLC spotting, SPE, and liquid-liquid extraction, automated liquid handling systems can be made more effective.

According to Roche Holding AG, a leading pharmaceutical company, clinical diagnostics play a crucial role in disease prevention, detection, and management. Though they account for just 2% of healthcare spending, they influence roughly two-thirds of clinical decision-making. Implementation of automation for clinical diagnostics is quite challenging as the processes need continuous, high-quality customer service. This is very important to obtain reliable test results and to provide patient safety.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Global expansion of pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries

Globally, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expanding rapidly. Global pharma and biopharma companies have taken actions to capitalise on potential growth opportunities in these industries, including partnerships with IT, clinical research in IT, digital supply chain & manufacturing, pharma covigilance software, geographic expansions, mergers & acquisitions, and product innovations. These actions have helped the market grow. In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, liquid handling systems are widely utilised for a variety of research tasks, including high-throughput screening, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) screening, sample distribution, and target validation. Thus, it is anticipated that the market for liquid handling systems will expand in tandem with the rise of these industries.

Restraint:

High costs of instruments

In labs for drug discovery, forensics, materials science, molecular biology, clinical research, and pharmaceutical development, automated liquid handling equipment is employed. They need expensive, high-quality instruments and cutting-edge ALH systems in order to obtain precise findings. The high instrument costs and complicated operability of modern ALH systems are anticipated to impede market expansion during the anticipated time frame.

Opportunity:

Changing scenario in emerging economies

Players in the liquid handling systems market can anticipate to find significant growth prospects in some emerging markets. This is due to significant market changes and rising pharma and biotech R&D funding. In the upcoming years, the market for liquid handling systems is anticipated to rise favourably due to the rising importance of these emerging economies in terms of R&D activities and investments from major global companies.

Threat:

Possibility of errors in automated systems

Automated liquid handlers can increase repeatability from one event to the next by eliminating the human variable in pipetting. These systems are more sophisticated and contain numerous internal activities that must follow requirements, therefore they are still vulnerable to multiple failures. One of the main benefits of many systems is that there are more opportunities for mistakes to enter the system because of their flexibility and control over numerous factors in the automated pipetting process. Similar to this, it's possible that hidden faults may start to show up more and more as a process goes on if automated liquid handlers are not dispensing the required quantity of crucial chemicals.

Covid-19 Impact

Due to a rise in the need for high-throughput, sequencing-based diagnostic tests, COVID-19 had a favourable effect on the market. The rise in sales was mostly responsible for the increase in revenue. The key reason why consumables and instruments were the most important driver was because COVID-19 increased demand. The market for liquid handling systems is expected to rise as a result of research associations and other medical authorities making various endeavours to perform clinical trials to create effective anti-COVID drugs or testing technologies. For instance, in 2020 Hamilton announced automated workstations for coronavirus (COVID-19) testing and priority fast-tracking for all orders pertaining to the viral pandemic's eradication.

The automated workstations segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

During the projection period, the automated liquid handling workstations segment held the majority of the market share. Based on their assembly and kind, automated liquid handling workstations can be further divided into subcategories. These devices are divided into standalone and integrated workstations based on their assembly, and multipurpose workstations, pipetting workstations, specialist liquid handlers, and workstation modules are divided depending on their nature. The introduction of automated workstations is driven by the escalating competition between pharmaceutical companies and their search for novel medications to successfully cure ailments. Higher market penetration of standalone pipettors is attributed to their tiny size and ability to integrate with other gadgets with nanoliter capabilities.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology payers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In terms of end users, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, contract research organisations (CRO), and academic and research institutions make up the global liquid handling technology market. The market's highest CAGR was held by the category of pharmaceutical and biotechnology businesses. Contrarily, it is anticipated that during the projected period, the contract research organisation (CRO) segment will expand at the fastest rate.

Region with highest share:

Due to the well-established distribution networks of the leading market participants and the quick uptake of advanced automation systems, North America dominated the market with the greatest share. Growth in this area is further fuelled by the demand for small volume genomic and proteomic analyses for life science research. To boost their revenue, rivals in this region have partnered with prestigious academic institutions and research institutions in Europe.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia-Pacific area is anticipated to grow dramatically during the coming years. The region's economies are strengthening, which has led to faster CAGR growth in the healthcare industry. The growing population has created a need for effective healthcare facilities. Another element that has contributed to the expansion of the sector for automated liquid handling systems in the Asia Pacific area is the enormous patient pool. In Asia Pacific, numerous well-known corporations are also present, and many more are keen to grow their operations there to satisfy the region's huge demand.
