The laboratory accessories market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $613.47 billion in 2024 to $665.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in life sciences research and clinical laboratory testing, increasing the prevalence of various infectious diseases, increasing the demand for laboratory testing, increasing focus on global health issues, and increasing the number of hospitals.
The laboratory accessories market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $915.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growth of laboratory infrastructure in emerging economies, increasing emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable laboratory practices, increasing demand for compatible accessories, increasing research and development of drug therapies, and rise in the number of diagnostic tests. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in laboratory technology, automation and digital solutions, technological advancements, smart lab technologies, and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into laboratory processes.
The growth in diagnostic tests is anticipated to drive the expansion of the laboratory accessories market. Diagnostic tests are medical procedures designed to detect, characterize, or determine the cause of diseases or conditions in patients. The increasing demand for diagnostic tests is driven by greater access to healthcare, the need for chronic disease management, rising patient expectations, and advances in genetic testing. Laboratory accessories play a crucial role throughout the diagnostic testing process, from sample collection and preparation to analysis and documentation. These accessories ensure the precision, efficiency, and safety of diagnostic tests, ultimately providing reliable and actionable results for patient care. For example, in March 2023, England reported 45.0 million imaging tests, an increase from 44.0 million in the previous year, representing a growth of 2.2%, according to the Diagnostic Imaging Dataset Annual Statistical published by a UK-based government organization. This trend underscores the impact of rising diagnostic tests on the laboratory accessories market.
Leading companies in the laboratory accessories market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as the automated plasmid purification system, to deliver high-throughput solutions, enhance reproducibility, and support advanced applications in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development. An automated plasmid purification system is a sophisticated laboratory instrument designed to automate the isolation of plasmid DNA (pDNA) from bacterial cultures, minimizing manual intervention. For instance, in June 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a US-based life sciences and clinical research firm, introduced the Thermo Scientific KingFisher PlasmidPro Maxi Processor. This fully automated maxi-scale plasmid DNA (pDNA) purification system is intended to streamline the purification process, improving the efficiency of laboratory workflows in therapy discovery and development. This innovation aims to reduce manual errors and boost throughput, with a focus on molecular biology and genetic research.
In May 2024, Merck KGaA, a Germany-based healthcare and life sciences company, completed the acquisition of Mirus Bio for $600 million. This strategic acquisition is designed to enhance Merck KGaA's capabilities in viral vector manufacturing, which is essential for the development of cell and gene therapies. Mirus Bio, a US-based manufacturer of laboratory accessories, will bolster Merck KGaA's offerings in this critical area.
