The Laboratory Informatics Market was valued at $4,341.2 million in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $12,677.0 million by 2032, witnessing a CAGR of 10.27% during the forecast period 2022-2032. The growth in the global laboratory informatics market is expected to be driven by the increased efficiency of laboratories due to their usage and better data management. Additionally, it saves time and money.

Market Lifecycle Stage

Laboratory informatics plays an essential role in laboratories fulfilling quality standards, eliminating transcribing mistakes, shortening the time it takes from specimen receipt to results reporting, and improving patient outcomes. Over the last decade, technical developments in laboratory equipment have resulted in increasing specimen numbers, as well as a growing need for and dependence on laboratory data to support clinical and public health demands. These advancements indicated that paper-based record keeping and results reporting were impractical and could not serve the laboratory's commercial demands. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the need for laboratory informatics adoption at all levels. This expanded usage of laboratory informatics has enabled end customers to describe particular system requirements, prompting suppliers to design more appealing and practical products and feasible laboratory informatics choices.

Impact

•   The presence of major instrument providers of laboratory informatics has a major impact on the market. For instance, in June 2020, Agilent Technologies, Inc. and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. 's expanded multivendor control approach to laboratory informatics enables clients to pick the finest hardware and software for their needs. This execution of its mutual compatibility principle would allow customers of Agilent Technologies and Thermo Fisher Scientific to select a chromatography data system from either company Agilent OpenLab CDS or Thermo Fisher Chromeleon to manage analytical instruments from both companies.
•   Companies such as IDBS (Danaher.) partnered with Synthace in December 2021 in order to provide IDBS Polar users with cutting-edge data infrastructure for high-throughput process development (HTPD) studies. Synthace's cloud-based automation platform works in tandem with Polar's HTPD to accelerate bioprocess development by enabling better decision-making through more reliable data sets, comprehensive data analysis, and modern enterprise data management, allowing the team to adopt a faster throughput approach and significantly reduce timelines. This combined solution allows users to scale safely to hundreds of automated, parallelized experiments per month.

Impact of COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of laboratory software and technologies really took off as people were working remotely, and thus digital solutions became a requirement for a productive laboratory. Also, increased laboratory demands for testing, genomics, drug development, and vaccinations also meant they had to become more efficient and provide faster, quicker, and more efficient results. In addition to this, these demands had to be fulfilled with laboratory space restrictions and demanding timelines. Thus, scaling up testing and research could only be solved by using laboratory informatics tools like LIMS and ELN. These tools helped scientists collaborate and work better even in a reduced-capacity working environment.

Many laboratory informatics manufacturers fastened their implementation process to help laboratories better fight the coronavirus. For example, CloudLIMS helped multiple labs set up within less than a week by implementing FDA-approved and preconfigured workflows. The key challenges faced by laboratories testing COVID-19 included rapid configuration of FDA-approved workflows, standardization, and validation of new COVID-19 testing methods, reporting results according to FDA and CDC guidelines, and following the internal regulatory CLIA ISO and HIPAA guidelines.

•   Pharma and Biotechnology
•   Biobanks and Biorepositories
•   Molecular Diagnostics and Clinical Research Labs
•   Contract Research Organizations (CROs)
•   Academia
•   Food and Beverage
•   Chemical Industry
•   Petrochemical Refinery and Oil and Gas Industry

Based on end users, the global laboratory informatics market was dominated by pharma and biotechnology. The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the high use of laboratories in these fields. Additionally, with many software specifically designed to be used by this end user, their use is growing significantly.

Segmentation 6: by Region

•   North America
•   Europe
•   Asia-Pacific
•   Latin America
•   Rest-of-the-World

North America dominated the global market with a revenue of $1,773.5 in 2021. However, the Asia-Pacific region, constituting several emerging economies, is expected to register the highest CAGR of 11.55% during the forecast period 2022-2032.

Recent Developments in the Global Laboratory Informatics Market

•   In February 2022, Agilent Technologies, Inc. acquired advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology developed by Virtual Control.
