The automated liquid handling technologies market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.18 billion in 2024 to $2.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for high-throughput screening, increased investment in drug development, increased clinical trials, increasing spending in diagnostic centers, and a rise in the pharmaceutical industry.
The automated liquid handling technologies market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing adoption of personalized medicine, rising investments in research and development, the expansion of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, increased demand for genomic analysis, and increased use of innovative automated liquid-handling workstations. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, increased automation in laboratory workflows, technological advancements, increasing partnerships, and the development of more user-friendly and versatile liquid handling systems.
The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the automated liquid handling technologies market. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that often persist for three months or more, typically worsening over time. Several factors contribute to the rise in chronic diseases, including an aging population, unhealthy lifestyle choices, a lack of preventive measures, and genetic factors. Automated liquid handling technologies improve the efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility of laboratory processes, which significantly aids in advancing research, diagnostics, and treatments for chronic conditions. For example, in January 2024, the American Cancer Society reported an increase in cancer cases to 2,001,140, up from 1,958,310 in 2023, reflecting a growth of 2.19%. Furthermore, in June 2024, the National Health Service (NHS England) reported that the number of people identified as having pre-diabetes in England rose to 3,615,330 in 2023, an 18% increase from 3,065,825 in 2022. Among those under 40, the number of cases surged by nearly 25%, growing from 173,166 in 2022 to 216,440 in 2023. As such, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the automated liquid handling technologies market.
Leading companies in the automated liquid handling technologies market are pioneering innovative solutions, such as the genomics liquid handling platform, to better serve their customers with enhanced capabilities. A genomics liquid handling platform is a specialized automated system designed specifically for managing liquids in genomic applications. For example, in November 2023, SPT Labtech, a UK-based biotechnology company, introduced the Firefly all-in-one genomics liquid handling platform, a groundbreaking tool for optimizing genomic liquid handling workflows. The Firefly platform automates repetitive liquid handling tasks, significantly enhancing the quality and quantity of output data for NGS library preparation. These advancements address the unique requirements of clinical laboratories by offering swift setup, reduced downtime, versatility, and intuitive operation to meet the stringent demands of regulated environments and the increasing complexity of LDTs.
In November 2022, Hamilton, a US-based manufacturer of automated liquid handling workstations and laboratory automation technology, acquired BioFluidiX GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at expanding Hamilton's microfluidics product portfolio by integrating BioFluidiX's patented microdosing technology. This integration will enhance Hamilton's precision dosing capabilities in the nano and picoliter range for a variety of applications. BioFluidiX GmbH, a Germany-based biotechnology company, specializes in developing innovative solutions for liquid handling and sample management in laboratory environments.
