Modular Laboratory Automation Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Equipment and Software (Analyzers, Automated Liquid Handlers, Automated Plate Handlers, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), Robotic Arms and Software), Application (Clinical Diagnostics, Drug Discovery, Genomics, Proteomics and Other Applications) and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Modular Laboratory Automation Market is accounted for $3.89 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.71 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. Modular Lab Automation is a type of laboratory automation process frequently used in drug discovery, diagnostics, genomics, etc. Any device, piece of software, or piece of equipment that requires little to no human interaction while increasing lab productivity and efficiency is referred to as ""laboratory automation."" Robots, conveyors, software, and other devices are all part of automation.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for high throughput and efficiency

Faster and more effective procedures are constantly needed in laboratories, particularly those in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical research industries. The ability to automate monotonous and time-consuming tasks is provided by modular laboratory automation, significantly boosting throughput and overall effectiveness of this market during the forecast period.

Restraint:

High initial investment

Equipment, software, and integration are frequently expensive up front when implementing modular laboratory automation systems. For smaller labs or those with tighter budgets, the initial cost can be a major barrier. Such factors limit market expansion.

Opportunity:

Advancements in robotics

Modular laboratory automation systems are now more adaptable, dependable, and economical thanks to technological advancements in robotics, sensor technologies, and integration capabilities. The range of applications for automation in different laboratory processes has increased as a result of these developments. Moreover, automation systems can also help increase data traceability and accuracy, boosting compliance and audit readiness.

Threat:

Lack of standardization

Automation protocols and interfaces are frequently not standardised in the laboratory industry. As a result, there may be compatibility problems between various automation components, which could obstruct the smooth integration of automation systems. Moreover, compatibility problems and the need for customised solutions can also increase the time and cost of implementation.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up medical research and development while putting more pressure on pharmaceutical firms and clinical labs. Making sure a shorter TAT is achieved has gained importance as a result of the increased interest in microplate readers, automated liquid handling, and robots. On the other hand, the epidemic has led to lower spending on automation and technology, as well as lower revenues and margins for hospitals and health systems. This has an effect on the future market for modular laboratory automation.

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

The automated liquid handlers segment is expected to be the largest during the anticipated period. Laboratories that work with chemicals and biochemistry frequently employ liquid handlers. In laboratories, automated liquid handling robots assist with dispensing samples and other liquids. Automated liquid handlers reduce cycle times and increase precision. Additionally, liquid handlers can work with a variety of volumes, down to nanolitres, demonstrating their value in dispensing operations.

The clinical diagnostics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The clinical diagnostics segment is expected to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period. The ability of modular laboratory automation to optimise laboratory workflows, increase productivity, increase accuracy, and decrease the possibility of human error has led to its widespread use in clinical diagnostics. Additionally, modular automation can be used to automate different immunoassays and clinical chemistry tests, enabling laboratories to process a large number of tests quickly and with little user involvement.

Region with largest share:

Due to widespread adoption of cutting-edge technologies across all end-user segments, North America is anticipated to dominate the modular laboratory automation market. The market is predicted to be driven by investments in cutting-edge genomics, proteomics, and epigenetics research, a rise in the focus on environmental concerns, and the concentration of some of the biggest pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the world as well as academic institutions in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

The demand for lab automation solutions is expected to rise in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily as a result of the region's explosive growth in the pharmaceutical industry. The continuation of demographic and economic trends, new healthcare reforms, and the policies outlined in the government's five-year plan are all anticipated to fuel market expansion. Vendors of lab automation solutions now have new opportunities to increase their footprint thanks to the rapidly expanding market.
