Automated liquid handling systems are laboratory instruments that are used to accurately pipette, mix, dilute or distribute liquids. They help researchers and clinicians perform repetitive tasks and reduce manual errors associated with liquid handling. Automated systems improve reproducibility and throughput in life science research and clinical diagnostics.
The global Automated Liquid Handling Systems Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.63 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the automated liquid handling systems market is the adoption of miniaturized liquid handlers. Miniaturized systems are gaining popularity owing to advantages such as reduced reagent consumption, higher throughput screening and portability. They are suitable for applications involving limited sample volumes like point-of-care testing and microfluidics-based diagnostics. Many players are focusing on developing small footprint automated systems to expand their presence in emerging applications.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Automated liquid handling reduces errors, increases productivity and efficiency. It provides high accuracy and precision in pipetting actions.
Weakness: High initial investment costs associated with automated liquid handling systems. Requires specialized equipment and training for operation and maintenance.
Opportunity: Increasing R&D expenditure in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Growing demand for miniaturization and automation in laboratories.
Threats: Availability of cheaper and open-source alternatives. Technological changes can render existing systems obsolete quickly.
