TOP 10 COMPANIES in Lab Automation Market

The Lab Automation Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2023 to 2030 to reach $10.54 billion by 2030, according to Meticulous Research®. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the increasing pharmaceutical and biotech R&D expenditure, growing demand for automated labs and instruments, increasing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, and government initiatives supporting life sciences R&D. However, high costs of advanced lab automation equipment and funding and infrastructure limitations in developing countries restrain the growth of this market. The growth in genomics and proteomics, increasing focus on food safety and quality, increasing awareness and adoption of personalized medicines, and emerging economies are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, equipment maintenance and repair and data security and privacy concerns are major challenges for the market’s growth.
