The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising government initiatives and funding, increasing focus on early diagnosis and personalized medicine, the development of healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies, and economic growth. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automation and robotics, rising demand for high-throughput screening (HTS), advancements in microplate reader technologies, growing focus on personalized medicine, and development in diagnostics and drug discovery.

The growth of research and development activities is expected to drive the expansion of the microplate systems market. Research and development (R&D) efforts involve the systematic pursuit of innovation by companies, institutions, and governments to create new products, services, or processes, while advancing scientific and technical knowledge. The rise in R&D activities is fueled by consumer demand, regulatory requirements, and government support and funding. Microplate systems facilitate high-throughput screening, enabling the simultaneous testing of thousands of compounds, thus reducing time and costs in drug discovery. They also improve reproducibility with automated liquid handling and data analysis, accelerating the R&D process. For example, in January 2024, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, a U.S.-based agency, reported that U.S. research and development spending was projected to reach $886 billion in 2022, following a $72 billion increase in 2021. As a result, the growth in research and development activities is driving the microplate systems market.

Leading companies in the microplate systems market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as multi-mode microplate readers, to enhance the versatility and efficiency of laboratory research and diagnostics. A multi-mode microplate reader is an advanced laboratory instrument that performs multiple detection methods, enabling a wide range of biochemical and cell-based assays using a single device. This capability enhances throughput in scientific research and diagnostics. For example, in April 2022, Molecular Devices, LLC, a U.S.-based research and development company, launched the SpectraMax Mini Microplate Reader, a compact and economical solution designed to save researchers benchtop space and budget. It supports UV-visible absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence detection modes and is user-upgradeable from two to three modes, offering flexibility as research needs evolve. The reader accommodates plate formats from 6 to 384 wells and features an extended wavelength range of 250 to 850 nm using xenon flash lamps, allowing measurements in the UV range, beneficial for applications such as tryptophan assays. It includes microplate reader control and data analysis software, SoftMax Pro Software, which comes with pre-written procedures for commonly used applications, saving time.

In April 2023, Dynex Technologies Inc., a U.S.-based company specializing in the design and manufacture of fully automated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and chemiluminescence microplate technology, partnered with Tecan Group Ltd. This partnership aims to improve the accessibility and distribution of ELISA immunoassays in the U.S. market. By integrating Tecan's innovative immunoassay technologies with DYNEX's automated processing systems, the collaboration seeks to provide more efficient and reliable diagnostic solutions, offering a broader test menu for various diseases. This benefits healthcare providers and patients with comprehensive diagnostic options. Tecan Group Ltd. is a Switzerland-based provider of microplate systems.
