According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Laboratory Robotics Market is accounted for $219.62 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $362.68 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.72% during the forecast period. The use of robotics technology to conduct scientific experiments and research in a secure environment without the intervention of human hands is the general concept of laboratory robotics. Companies are commencing to adopt robotic technologies for essential process applications due to the increasing need to safeguard the safety of manual workers and the implementation of strict regulatory norms in laboratories.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Safety of both humans and property to drive the market
Chemicals and other substances that are toxic when they come into direct contact with the human body are used in laboratory experiments. To prevent these compounds, a number of precautionary measures are being used in the labs. There have been various cases where experimental trials have harmed researchers. In some risky situations, they can even result in death.
Restraint:
Slow adoption of automation among small and medium-sized laboratories
Budget restrictions prevent many small and medium-sized laboratories from adopting automation. Another significant barrier to adoption of laboratory informatics solutions is their high maintenance and service expenses. Industry analysts claim that the maintenance costs of IT solutions exceed the cost of the product. In addition, a lack of evidence about the cost-effectiveness of automation solutions for small and medium-sized laboratories, as well as low risk-taking capacity, are limiting the growth of the lab robotics market.
Opportunity:
Improving healthcare infrastructure across emerging countries
During the projection period, manufacturers and distributors of lab automation products are estimated to significantly benefit from emerging markets. Increased sales of lab automation products are being driven by an increase in the demand for clinical diagnostic processes. Furthermore, major product manufacturers are expanding their distribution networks and manufacturing capacities to increase their penetration in emerging markets.
Threat:
Limited feasibility with technology integration in analytical labs
The obstacles in transferring data and communication standards between automated instruments from two distinct manufacturers and the evolving nature of laboratory work require automated systems with higher flexibility and interface capabilities. A significant difficulty for providers of lab automation solutions is producing products that are compatible with other systems in a lab.
Covid-19 Impact
