The laboratory informatics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.63 billion in 2023 to $3.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth witnessed during the historic period can be ascribed to the emergence of electronic lab notebooks, advancements in laboratory automation, the expansion of pharmaceutical research and development activities, the integration of laboratory systems, and the escalating complexity of research.

The laboratory informatics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to the heightened adoption of cloud-based solutions, the integration of mobile informatics solutions, the globalization of research collaborations, initiatives for data standardization, a focus on environmental monitoring, and the promotion of remote access and virtualization. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in data visualization tools, cross-platform integration, improvements in user experience, and the exploration of blockchain technology.

The growth of the laboratory informatics market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing demand for laboratory automation during the forecast period. The prevalent occurrence of human errors in laboratory operations has prompted laboratory organizations to transition towards automated solutions. A study published by AZoLifeSciences revealed that 30-86% of pre-analytical errors in laboratories are linked to human error. Laboratory automation involves the use of automated laboratory instruments and advanced analytical software to deliver precise and accurate results on a large scale. This approach enhances data accuracy and reliability while reducing overall costs associated with manual operations. Consequently, the escalating need for laboratory automation is expected to fuel the laboratory informatics market's growth in the forecast period.

The laboratory informatics market is expected to experience growth due to the rising demand for personalized medicine. Personalized medicine tailors medical treatment to an individual's unique genetic makeup, providing more effective and precise healthcare interventions. Laboratory informatics plays a crucial role in personalized medicine, facilitating data management, genomic sequencing and analysis, electronic health records (EHR) integration, biomarker discovery, and ensuring data security and privacy. In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 37 new molecular entities (NMEs), with approximately 34% (12 of them) classified as personalized medicines by the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC). Consequently, the growing demand for personalized medicine is a key driver propelling the laboratory informatics market's growth.

Technological advancements are emerging as key trends in the laboratory informatics market. Companies in this market are increasingly investing in the development of technologically advanced software suites to meet specific operational demands from laboratories worldwide.
