The Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market Size is valued at 1.90 Bn in 2022 and is predicted to reach 4.31 Bn by the year 2031 at an 9.6% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Automated liquid handling instruments involve the integration of automated technologies into laboratories to improve the operations in various daily laboratory experiments such as pipetting and data analysis. These instruments offer several advantages, including ease of dispensing and sampling liquids in tubes, enhanced quality, accuracy and reproducibility, and minimal requirement for manual work. Automated liquid handling also improved the next-generation sequencing outcomes.
The need for liquid handling automation systems is growing as the guidelines for pharmaceutical liquid handling are constantly changing. Further, the ability of automated liquid handling systems to handle small amounts of liquid more efficiently and the increasing demand for miniaturization are the key drivers of the automated liquid handling technologies market expansion.
Moreover, manufacturers are also investing in innovating advanced and automated liquid handling technologies. For instance, in February 2022, Festo launched a modular gantry robot platform for an automated liquid handling system used in laboratories. This new solution enables equipment designers to realize their distinctive solutions quickly. In December 2021, Flow Robotics A/S and Automata collaborated to offer end-to-end automation of liquid handling in laboratories with the pipetting robot, flowbot® ONE, and the robot arm, Eva.
The advantages of automated liquid handling instruments include high production rates & increased productivity, more efficient use of materials, improved safety, better product quality, shorter labour work, and reduced factory lead times.
The Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market is segmented based on product, application, and end-users. The product segment includes automated liquid handling workstations, reagents & consumables. The automated liquid handling workstations segment is further divided into assembly (standalone workstations and integrated workstations) and type (Multipurpose Workstation, Pipetting Workstation, Specialized Liquid Handler, and Workstation Module).
The reagents & consumables segment is further divided into reagents and accessories. Application segment includes cancer & genomic research, drug discovery & ADME-Tox research, bioprocessing/biotechnology, and others.End-users segment includes academic & research institutes, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, and contract research organizations.
The automated liquid handling workstations segment is expected to drive the market in the upcoming years. Developers are working to create automated liquid handling platforms that can be used to mix, sample and combine liquid samples. Clinical research labs use liquid handling instruments to prevent sample contamination and reduce human error during research. The growing competition among pharmaceutical companies and the search for new drugs to treat diseases effectively drive the adoption of automated workstations
Automated liquid handling is a fundamental part of clinical research. Diverse applications in drug discovery and ADME-Tox include stepwise serial dilution and dispensing protein or DNA solutions onto substrates or microwells. Using manual liquid handling techniques for these becomes impractical and risks human error. Hence, to reduce error and maximize the advantages of automation in drug discovery and ADME-Tox research, automated liquid handling workstations has been widely used to increase accuracy and reduce costs.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies led the market in 2022. Automated liquid handlers are at the forefront of drug discovery research. The need to transfer liquid samples to various substrates and transfer them to containers of different sizes has led to their rapid development in medicine and manufacturing.
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are anticipated to maintain their business positions over the next few years due to increased drug analysis and production automation. Also, universities and research institutions involved in life science experiments, especially those related to genetics, antibody testing, drug, protein crystallization, and screening, need to handle minimal sample volumes. Hence, the demand for liquid handling technologies is likely to surge during the forecast period.
North America held the highest share of the automated liquid handling technologies industry in 2022 and is predicted to continue its trend over the forecast period, owing to the presence of major key players, increasing drug & therapy innovations, rising life science projects, and technological advancements.
The U.K. and Germany are the leading countries in Europe's automated liquid handling systems market due to the growing government investments in developing the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector. Similarly, the Asia Pacific market is expected to develop significantly over the projected period (2023-2031), owing to the rising drug discoveries to fight various diseases and the increasing demand for automated liquid handling instruments in the region.
