The laboratory informatics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been substantial growth in the laboratory informatics market size in the past few years. The market, standing at $3.8 billion in 2024, is set to increase to $4.03 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
The historic escalation is attributed to the emergence of electronic lab notebooks, the automation of laboratories, an increase in pharmaceutical research and development activities, system integration within labs, along with the escalating complexity of research.
The laboratory informatics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for swift expansion in the laboratory informatics market over the coming years. Projected to rise to a value of $6.24 billion by 2029, the market is set to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
Growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the ever-increasing adoption of cloud-powered solutions and mobile informatics solutions, a surge in research collaborations across the globe, initiatives around data standardization, renewed focus on environmental tracking, and the advent of remote access and virtualization. Significant trends foreseen during the forecast period encompass advancements in data visualization tools, a seamless integration across platforms, an amplified user experience, and successful incorporations of blockchain technology.
The growth of the laboratory informatics market is predicted to be driven by the escalating demand for lab automation during the forecast phase. The frequent manifestation of human mistakes in lab operations has prompted laboratory firms to gravitate towards automated solutions. In a study by AZoLifeSciences, it was revealed that human error accounts for 30-86% of pre-analytical activities in labs. Lab automation employs automatic laboratory tools and sophisticated analytical software to deliver exact, meticulous results on a large scale. It results in better data precision and reliability, while also significantly reducing costs linked to manual operations. Thus, the burgeoning requirement for lab automation is foreseen to stimulate the laboratory informatics market in the coming years.
