Liquid Handling Systems Market

Liquid Handling Systems Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The size of the global liquid handling systems market is anticipated to register at USD 4.41 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 7.63 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

Liquid Handling Systems are tools and equipment for combining, mixing, and blending liquid samples. This system relies on a high level of automation to ensure highly accurate data and fast processing. In addition, offering a vast volume of transferable pipettes and consumables improves operating efficiency. It is widely used in medication development, research institutes, and studies connected to life sciences and genetics. Liquid handling involves transporting liquid reagents using various platforms, from large-scale robotic platforms to single-channel pipettes. These instruments, used in everything from research to therapeutic settings, are critical for delivering precise measurements. Pipets and micropipettes, both digital and electronic, with fixed or disposable tips; microplate or microtiter plate dispensers, stackers, handlers, and washers; and various automated robotic systems are examples of liquid handling equipment.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Increasing expenditure in research & development activities need for new drugs, growing technological advancements, and increasing demand for high-output screening drive the global liquid handling systems market.

Furthermore, significant growth in vaccine manufacturing and the rapid adoption of automation in clinical applications are expected to boost the market throughout the forecast period. Again, the rising number of new infectious diseases also forces drug companies to invest more in drug development and produce more vaccines. In addition, automated liquid handling systems are used in many hospitals and diagnostic centers to detect fast and treat diseases. Increasing the focus on data quality and accuracy is also a major growing factor in the market.

Increasing the research activities in genomics and proteomics is a significant opportunity in the market. In addition, the scenario is also changing in developing economies. The COVID-19 epidemic has been advantageous to liquid handling systems and has positively impacted the need for fluid handling systems.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, some factors hamper the growth of global liquid handling systems, such as the high costs and complex operability of the liquid handling systems. Further, the software used in the plans is extravagant, and the integration of electronic components may raise software interoperability. A significant challenge facing the liquid handling systems market is the lack of skilled professionals. Because liquid handling systems, mainly automated systems and full-scale workflow stations, are complicated, trained operators must operate them. In India, the number increased to 61%, while roughly 68%of businesses claimed they had trouble finding workers with the technical skills they needed in Brazil.
