Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Global Market Report 2024

The automated liquid handling technologies market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2023 to $2.18 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased investment in drug development, increasing demand for high-throughput screening, increasing spending in diagnostic centers, increased clinical trials, and growth in the pharmaceutical industry.

The automated liquid handling technologies market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of personalized medicine, rising investments in research and development, the expansion of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, higher demand for genomic analysis, and the growing use of innovative automated liquid-handling workstations. Key trends include the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, greater automation in laboratory workflows, technological advancements, increasing partnerships, and the development of more user-friendly and versatile liquid handling systems.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the automated liquid handling technologies market. Chronic diseases are health conditions or illnesses that persist or have long-lasting effects, typically lasting three months or more and often worsening over time. Various factors contribute to the prevalence of chronic diseases, including an aging population, unhealthy lifestyle choices, lack of preventive measures, and genetic predispositions. Automated liquid handling technologies improve the efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility of laboratory processes, significantly advancing research, diagnostics, and treatments for chronic diseases. For example, in January 2023, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based organization managing bibliographic and molecular databases, reported that the number of people aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness is projected to increase from approximately 71.52 million in 2020 to 142.66 million by 2050, representing a 99.5% rise. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to boost the growth of the automated liquid handling technologies market.

Leading companies in the automated liquid handling technologies market are pioneering innovative solutions, such as the genomics liquid handling platform, to better serve their customers with enhanced capabilities. A genomics liquid handling platform is a specialized automated system designed specifically for managing liquids in genomic applications. For example, in November 2023, SPT Labtech, a UK-based biotechnology company, introduced the Firefly all-in-one genomics liquid handling platform, a groundbreaking tool for optimizing genomic liquid handling workflows. The Firefly platform automates repetitive liquid handling tasks, significantly enhancing the quality and quantity of output data for NGS library preparation. These advancements address the unique requirements of clinical laboratories by offering swift setup, reduced downtime, versatility, and intuitive operation to meet the stringent demands of regulated environments and the increasing complexity of LDTs.

In February 2021, SPT Labtech, a UK-based provider of durable automated solutions, purchased Apricot Designs for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, SPT intends to broaden its extensive array of automation solutions for drug discovery, genomics, structural biology, cryo-EM, sample management, and biobanking by integrating additional liquid handling technology. Apricot Designs, based in the US, specializes in the design and manufacture of automated liquid handling technologies.
