Automated Liquid Handling Technology Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on April 14th, 2021

The global automated liquid handling technology market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.07 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., experiencing a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Automated liquid handling technology has transformed wet lab research processing by enabling significant restructuring of R & D facilities of pharma & biotech companies. Rapid adoption of liquid handling robots to replace traditionally reserved ‘wet lab’ bench work areas is estimated to foster market growth.

Biopharmaceutical innovators are at the forefront of the human response to the coronavirus pandemic. A significant number of major biotech firms are in the midst of a race to investigate the Sars-Cov-2 genome and prepare a viable vaccine for the same. As compared to the speed of response to SARS/MERs etc, the biotech entities are investigating SARs-Cov-2 at an unprecedented rate and a considerable amount of funds are being put into the R&D. With multiple candidates in trial, the public and private sectors are anticipated to work in unison for the foreseeable period, until a vaccine is developed for Covid-19. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Efficient & accurate handling of liquid samples help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in maintaining overall productivity. This makes these companies & research laboratories rely greatly on automated platforms. Usage of customizable and preprogrammed procedures reduces need for supervision as it enables researchers to invest more time on data analysis.

Buyers have an option to select from different liquid handling technologies such as air displacement dispensing, positive displacement, piezoelectric, and acoustic. This choice to pick from a range of automated liquid handlers influences buyer power. Key market players are involved in developing low volume liquid handling systems as a consequence of rising adoption of microfluidics and microplates in lab processing.

Automated Liquid Handling Technology Market Report Highlights

• Multipurpose workstations are projected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period due to their rapid adoption by pharma & biopharma CROs. These workstations enable microplate washing, multichannel pipetting, and bulk reagent dispensing within a single unit
• Cancer & genomic research is poised to witness the fastest growth owing to the ability of automated liquid handling systems to handle multiple samples of microliter to picoliter volume
• Workflow complexity and need for faster target screening are resulting in increase in installation of automated workstation by the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies
• North America dominated the market in 2017 owing to presence of several key players
• Asia Pacific is expected to post the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to conducive growth factors for pharma and biopharmaceutical companies in the region. Increasing investments in life science, medicine, and pharmaceutical sectors are also contributing to the growth of the regional market
• Key players operating in the industry include Agilent Technologies; Labcyte Inc.; Beckman Coulter, Inc., Aurora Biomed Inc.; Eppendorf AG; Hamilton Company; Gilson, Inc., Analytik Jena AG; Tecan Trading AG; and BioTek Instruments, Inc.
• Major players are involved in development of novel platform based on non-contact liquid handling technologies such as ultrasonic droplet generation, glass capillary dispensers, inkjet technologies, and valve dispensing technologies to support changing needs of end users.

Over the years, contact dispensing has gained wide acceptance due to its reliability, simplicity, and low cost. However, liquid handling needs are observed to be changing with reduction in sample volume. Surface adhesion is the most prominent factor that affects liquid handling performance at micro- to nanoliter sample volume.

Manufacturers are developing workstations based on different technologies for dispensing without surface adhesion. These technologies include ultrasound, piezoelectric, and solenoid. For instance, LABCYTE INC. uses Echo acoustic liquid handling technology in its products to offer non-contact dispensing.

In addition, effective miniaturization of assay platforms reduces workflow expenditure by reduction in use of expensive reagents. Increasing development of acoustic liquid handling platforms, which enable faster processing, is likely to stoke the growth of the market. Growing trend of automation and advantages of automated liquid handling over manual handling are also providing a fillip to the market.

Based on product, the market has been bifurcated into automated liquid handling workstations and reagents and consumables. Workstations have been reviewed based on their assembly and type. On the basis of assembly, they can be segmented into standalone and integrated workstations and based on type, they can be divided into multipurpose, pipetting, specialized liquid handlers, and workstation module.
