Global Laboratory Robotics Market, By Type, By Application, By End User, Estimation & Forecast, 2017-2030

Global Laboratory Robotics Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period 2022-2030

The global laboratory robotics market held a market value of USD 270.7 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD 494 million by the year 2027. The market is projected to list a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period.

Using robotics technology to conduct scientific research and experimentation in a secure setting without the intrusion of human hands is the general definition of laboratory robotics. Businesses have started adopting robotic technology for crucial process applications due to the growing requirement to safeguard the safety of manual workers and the implementation of strict regulatory norms in laboratories. Robots are also very efficient and maintain accuracy and precision. Robotics adoption is being fueled by these forces in laboratories all around the world. The expansion of the market under study is being constrained by the high costs of robotic equipment as well as the low importance given to automation in small to medium-sized labs.

The market will expand as a result of these and other factors, including increased R&D activities, rising lab automation technology usage, and an increase in the number of novel product releases. As businesses started focusing on accelerating the diagnosis and research activities for successful drug discovery, the demand for laboratory robotics gradually increased to a high. For instance, UVD Robot unveiled a range of fully autonomous ultraviolet (UV) disinfection robots that can efficiently disinfect places like hospitals, airports, schools, and other places within minutes. On the other hand, limitations on adaptability and the high initial cost of laboratory robots may restrain market expansion.

Growth Influencers:

Surging investments of R&D in pharmaceutical industry

Due to the huge investments that industry titans are making in R&D, the global market for laboratory robotics is predicted to increase favourably over the next years. For instance, in October 2022, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in India signed a research and engineering cooperation agreement with the National Robotarium, the largest AI and robotics research facility in the UK. The collaboration will enable TCS to collaborate closely with the new centre on innovative ideas.

Growing demand for process automation for various industrial verticals

Laboratory robots simplify repetitious tasks like labelling tubes and checking samples. In addition to reducing the physical strain on the staff, it also saves the lab space and money. Scientists at the University of Central Florida (UCF) stated their plans to use artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug screening to speed up the creation of life-saving medications in September 2022. The method can obtain promising medication candidates with 97% accuracy. Therefore, the market for laboratory robotics will expand due to the increasing use of technology in drug research.
