Automated Liquid Handling Systems Global Market Report 2024

The automated liquid handling systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.65 billion in 2023 to $3.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing demand for high-throughput screening capabilities, the growth of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the imperative for precision and accuracy in liquid handling processes, the rising trend of laboratory automation, the growing adoption of personalized medicine approaches, the expansion of drug discovery and development initiatives, and the pursuit of cost and time efficiency in laboratory operations.

The automated liquid handling systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several significant factors, including the acceleration of drug discovery processes, the expansion of research activities in genomics and proteomics, the increasing demand for high-throughput diagnostics, the adoption of automated liquid handling systems in emerging markets, and the trend towards miniaturization of laboratory equipment. Additionally, there is a notable focus on improving reproducibility and data quality in laboratory workflows.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is set to drive growth within the automated liquid handling systems market. Chronic diseases, characterized by their long-lasting nature and manageability rather than curability, are on the rise due to factors such as the consumption of processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, and reduced physical activity. Automated liquid handling systems offer distinct advantages over manual pipetting, including enhanced accuracy, reproducibility, and throughput, making them indispensable in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. For instance, in January 2023, according to a report published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US-based biomedical research agency, the number of people aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness is predicted to rise by 99.5%, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million in 2050. This underscore the driving force behind the automated liquid handling systems market.

The enterprises operating in the automated liquid handling systems market are directing their efforts toward the development of dual-core pipetting technology solutions to bolster their market presence. Dual-core pipetting technology, a sophisticated liquid handling system utilized in laboratory settings, enables accurate and precise dispensing of liquids. For instance, SPT Labtech introduced the apricot DC1 in February 2022, a compact 4-in-1 automated liquid handling platform designed to enhance throughput, standardization, and data quality across various applications. This innovative platform consolidates four distinct pipetting instruments into a single compact unit, facilitating high-volume and low-volume single- and multichannel pipetting tasks.

In February 2021, in a strategic move to expand its portfolio of liquid handling technologies, SPT Labtech acquired Apricot Designs, though the financial details remain undisclosed. This acquisition broadened SPT Labtech's automation solutions for scientific fields such as drug discovery, genomics, cryo-EM, sample management, and biobanking. Apricot Designs, renowned for its multichannel micro-volume pipettors, disposable pipette tips, and solid-phase extraction and liquid handling instruments, complemented SPT Labtech's offerings, strengthening its position in the automated liquid handling systems market.

Automated liquid handling systems are computerized devices utilized in laboratory settings to execute liquid transfers with precision. These systems utilize software to execute diverse protocols, enabling accurate sample preparation for high-throughput sequencing, screening, bioassays, and other applications. They may incorporate components such as heating or cooling mechanisms, shaking functionality, and centrifugal force for contactless liquid removal.

The primary classifications of automated liquid handling systems include fully automated and semi-automated variants. Fully automated liquid handling systems are sophisticated machines engineered to automate the process of pipetting liquids in laboratory environments, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy. These systems find applications in diverse fields such as drug discovery and ADME-Tox research, cancer and genomic research, bioprocessing or biotechnology, among others. They are utilized by various end-users including contract research organizations, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic and research institutes.
