Laboratory Mixer Global Market Report 2024

Laboratory mixers and shakers are instruments designed to facilitate the creation of a homogeneous mixture from one or more ingredients, making them essential for various mixing applications in laboratories.

The primary product types of laboratory mixers include shakers, magnetic stirrers, vortex mixers, conical mixers, overhead stirrers, and related accessories. Shakers, for instance, perform their function by shaking the mixtures placed on them. These devices can be categorized into digital and analog platforms, operating with different movement types such as gyratory movement, linear movement, rocking or tilting movement, and orbital movement. Laboratory mixers and shakers find application in diverse sectors, including research laboratories and institutes, as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Their versatility makes them crucial tools for achieving precise and controlled mixing in scientific and industrial settings.

The laboratory mixer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.69 billion in 2023 to $1.85 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of the chemical industry, increased production in the food and beverage sector, adherence to food safety regulations, growth in biopharmaceutical production, and advancements in clinical diagnostics.

The laboratory mixer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be linked to green chemistry initiatives, the emphasis on supply chain resilience, the expansion of healthcare diagnostics, global health initiatives, and the continued growth of telemedicine. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve the development of sustainable mixing solutions, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, advancements in sensors and controls, the prominence of point-of-care diagnostics, and ongoing innovation in the pharmaceutical sector.

The growth of the laboratory mixer market is driven by the increasing prevalence of diseases, which contributes to the rise in laboratory diagnostic testing, research, and development activities. Laboratory mixers, essential tools in all laboratories, are used for mixing, dissolving, and emulsifying materials. For instance, data from September 2023 by the World Health Organization reveals that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic conditions contribute to 74% of the total deaths globally each year, amounting to 41 million fatalities. These include 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million from diabetes. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the laboratory mixer market in the foreseeable future.

The laboratory mixer market is shaped by the rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities, particularly by pharmaceutical companies. Increased investments in R&D activities for medicines and vaccines generate a demand for lab equipment, including laboratory mixers, test tubes, stirrers, shakers, and refrigerators. For instance, in March 2023, Merck KGaA, a German biopharmaceuticals manufacturer, reported an expenditure of $2.76 billion on research and development in 2022, compared to $2.65 billion in 2021.

Major companies in the laboratory mixer market are strategically introducing convertible mixing devices to enhance their market competitiveness. Convertible laboratory mixing devices, such as the TWISTER launched by IKA-Werke GmbH & Co in June 2022, serve as both single-position and multi-position magnetic stirrers, providing versatility in various mixing applications. The TWISTER features high-speed vacuum mixing and a dust-repelling design, delivering efficient and standardized mixing solutions in scientific and industrial settings.

Major companies in the laboratory mixers market are focusing on introducing compact high-shear lab mixers to gain a competitive edge. Compact high-shear lab mixers, exemplified by the Benchmix 10 launched by Admix Inc. in August 2022, are valuable tools for blending, emulsifying, and dispersing substances with precision in laboratory settings. The Benchmix 10, suitable for various industries, can mix up to 1 gallon (4 liters) at speeds reaching 9300 RPM, featuring the patented Admix Rotosolver high shear mix head for efficient powder dispersion.
