LABORATORY ACCESSORIES MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Laboratory Accessories Market Drivers:-

Continuous laboratory product launches due to increasing demand for laboratory accessories is expected to support the global laboratory accessories market growth over the forecast period. There is a constant increase in demand for laboratory accessories, due to growing competition in pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries (as lab accessories are basic requirements to run a laboratory). In order to meet the ever growing demand for lab accessories, manufacturers have to keep on introducing newer products with advanced technology to support the lab automation.

For instance, along with conventional lab accessories, products such as microplates and modular lab tables are also gaining popularity. Technological advancement aimed at improving utility and ease of handling is expected to support growth of global laboratory accessories market over the forecast period. Products offered by manufacturers such as Thermo Fisher Scientific include Dimension 4 Modular Lab Tables, Microplate Carousel, Plate Feeder Carousel, and Microplate Delidders. Dimension 4 Modular Lab Tables provide a highly scalable, flexible, and a stable platform for lab systems and work stations. Micro Plate Carousel provides access to 104 deep well microplates and 200 microplates. Microplate Delidders automates the storage, replacement of lids and storage of microplates.

These products provide flexible, reliable, and accurate automation solutions for all kinds of applications such as automated storage of stacked microplates, quick filling of the microplates, and others. These also provide efficiency, saves time which in turn helps in maintaining the quality of products, increasing the production and reducing the operating costs. According to National Science Foundation (NSF), the expenditure on laboratory automation is expected to double between 2010 and 2017 that will eventually boost growth of global laboratory accessories market over the forecast period.

Moreover, demand for diagnosis of infectious disease is also rising owing to increasing prevalence of various infectious diseases. According to World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 36.7 million people were suffering from HIV in 2016. There is also a considerable increase in number of funding agencies for research institutes from the previous years, such as Science and Technology Application for Rural Development (STARD) 2015 and Intensification of Research in Higher Priority Areas (IRHPA) 2016, among others. These funding’s are expected to boost the global laboratory accessories market growth over the forecast period as lab accessories would be required to run the laboratories.
