Automated Workstation to register largest market share in 2023

The automated workstation segment will lead the lab automation market during the forecast period. This product line helps optimize the laboratory workflow through streamlined workstations, and increased precision, and reproducibility across many applications. In the case of the automated workstation product, liquid-handling workstation products are currently most commonly used for high-accuracy transfer of samples and reagents that are vital in a variety of applications involving PCR, qPCR, next-generation sequencing, etc. Another major sub-segment is microplate readers. It enables high-throughput screening and quantification in assays, thus significantly speeding up drug discovery and biological research.

Automated ELISA systems are in high demand because they automate the protocols that take time to run through immunoassays. Automated ELISA systems save diagnostics and clinical laboratories lots of time because it does all the immunoassay protocols, hence the output is rapid and reliable, minimizing the involvement of manual inputs. Apart from that, automated nucleic acid purification systems are considered necessary for molecular biology and genomics research to speed up DNA and RNA extraction and purification processes for further applications. Growth in these sub-segments is indicative of the interest of the lab automation market toward increasing efficiency and data quality, which are now crucial factors in all pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and research settings.

Hospitals & diagnostic laboratories segment held the largest share of Lab Automation market in 2023, by End-user.

The market by end-users of the lab automation market is further divided into hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, research and academic institutes, environmental testing laboratories, forensic laboratories, and the food and beverage industry. The largest share in 2023 would be hospitals and diagnostic laboratories mainly due to increasing demand for throughput, accuracy, and high-speed diagnostics solutions to treat more patients requiring a variety of complex tests. This will ensure automation solutions simplify workflows, minimize turnaround times, and improve accuracy.
