Introduction

Microplate instrumentation and supplies play a pivotal role in laboratory automation and the simplification of research processes. Microplate instrumentation and supplies also help improve accuracy and save time for researchers while conducting experiments as compared to conventional test tubes. Microplate instrumentation includes microplate readers that are used to detect the chemical, biological and physical events on samples. It is used for various applications such as drug discovery, assay development, etc.

The microplate instrumentation and supplies market is driven by the high need for accurate testing results in healthcare and pharmaceutical research. Some of the leading players in the microplate instrumentation and supplies market are Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (US), Agilent Technologies, Tecan Group Ltd, Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG and Perkin Elmer.

In this report, FMI has segmented the global microplate instrumentation and supplies market by product type, by sales channel, by region and by industry. By product type, the microplate instrumentation and supplies market is sub-segmented into microplate readers, microplate washers, microplate dispensers and microplate accessories.

The demand for microplate instrumentation with various benefits, such as high throughput screening and high sensitivity, has increased significantly. Hence, the microplate reader sub-segment is estimated to register moderate growth with a market share of over 41.3% of the global microplate instrumentation and supplies market by the end of 2027.

Increasing expenditure on R&D in the pharmaceutical & healthcare sector is expected to drive the microplate instrumentation and supplies market

Continuous growth and investments across the healthcare sector are among the major factors driving the microplate instrumentation and supplies market.
