Global Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market by Product (Reagents & Consumables, Workstations) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

In 2017, the global market for automated liquid handling technologies was worth USD 1.01 billion. The market is expected to grow at 9.4% over the forecast period. The market will be driven by the introduction of new automated liquid handling workstations that allow for non-contact dispensing.

Contact dispensing has been widely accepted over the years due to its simplicity, reliability, and low cost. With a decrease in sample volume, liquid handling requirements are changing. The most important factor that impacts liquid handling performance at nano- to microliter sample volumes is surface adhesion.

Manufacturers are creating workstations that use different technologies to dispense without adhesion. These technologies include piezoelectric, solenoid, and ultrasound. LABCYTE INC., for example, uses Echo acoustic liquid handling tech in its products to provide non-contact dispensing.

Additionally, efficient miniaturization of assay platforms can reduce workflow costs by reducing the use of costly reagents. The market will grow with the development of acoustic liquid processing platforms that allow for faster processing. The market is also seeing a rise in automation and the advantages of automated liquid handling to manual handling.

Product Insights

The market was divided into two segments based on product: automated liquid handling workstations, reagents, and consumables. Based on the type and assembly of workstations, they were reviewed. Based on their assembly, they can also be broken down into standalone or integrated workstations. Based on their type, they can also be sub-divided into multipurpose, pipetting and specialized liquid handlers.

Automated workstations are becoming more popular due to the increasing competition between pharmaceutical companies as well as their desire to develop new drugs. The smaller footprint of standalone pipettors and their ability to perform accurate and faster serial dilutions and plate replication have contributed to a greater market penetration. There are many common pipettors on the market, including Biotek's Precision XS and Agilent’s Bravo. Beckman Coulter’s Biomek NX, Agilent’s Vprep, Hamilton’s NIMBUS, TTP Labtech mosquito TTS.

The cost of consumables is a significant expense for biotech labs and pharma companies. The growth of the consumables and reagents market is being driven by rising costs of consumables, as well as the continued use of these products during workflow steps. The number of disposable tips manufactured by third parties that can be used with automated systems will likely reduce the use of traditional accessories in the future.

Application Insights

In a single drug discovery experiment, over a million compounds are tested to find a drug candidate. There are many applications for drug discovery and ADME Tox. These include stepwise serial diluting over a wide concentration range, selection, transfer, and confirmation & further analysis. The segment of drug discovery and ADME Tox is expected to hold the largest share of the automated liquid handling technologies market during the forecast period. Automated liquid handling platforms are able to combine different types of liquid handlers, stackers, incubators or incubators to increase throughput.

Automated liquid handling is essential in cancer and genomic research because it involves dispensing DNA or protein solutions onto substrates or microwells. Additional solutions are often required for subsequent steps, such as synthesis or analysis. These steps are too difficult and tedious to use manual liquid handling techniques. The adoption of automated liquid handling technology for genome as well as cancer research will be a significant step forward in the next few years.

End-User Information

Drug discovery laboratories are awash in automated liquid handlers. The high demand to dispense liquid samples on various substrates and then transfer them into containers of different sizes has led to an increase in their use in drug development and manufacturing. This is why pharma and biotech companies were the top segment of the market in 2017.

CROs and CMOs are being encouraged to improve their efficiency and comply with regulatory requirements by outsourcing pharma and biotech workflows. Many CROs and CMOs have begun to integrate automated liquid handling into their facilities. Vibalogics, a German CDMO, increased its operating capabilities in September 2016 by installing a Bosch ARF1020 filling machine to automate vial filling.

Academic and research institutions involved in life science experiments, particularly those that involve gene sequencing, antibody testing and drug screening, as well as protein crystallization, often need to handle small samples volumes. Accordingly, the demand for automated methods like sensor integrated robotics systems will support revenue growth in academic and research institutes.

Regional Insights

North America was the leading market player in 2017, thanks to its established distribution network and greater use of advanced automation solutions. The regional market is also growing due to the demand for small-volume genomic and proteomics analysis in life science research. To increase their revenues, competitors in the region have partnered with major European universities and research centers.

The growth of local biotech companies and increased funding support will all help to promote the industry's progress. Asia Pacific's market is expected to grow rapidly due to the rapid progress of biopharma and biotechnology companies, as well as contract organisations in countries like Japan and China. This region is expected to experience the highest CAGR over the forecast period.

Market Share insights on Automated Liquid Handling Technologies

It is highly concentrated with only a few market players holding a greater market share. Analytik Jena AG, Hamilton Company, Labcyte Inc., Labcyte Inc., Eppendorf AG, BioTek Instruments, Inc., Agilent Technologies, Labnet International, Inc., Gilson, Inc., Beckman Coulter, Inc., and Tecan Trading AG are some of the key players.

In order to offer automated workflows to biopharmaceutical businesses, competitors are often involved in strategic partnerships. Hamilton Robotics partnered with WATERS in June 2018 to develop STARWorks to automate sample preparation workflows using WATERS's assays -Waters ProteinWorks & Waters GlycoWorks.
