The global lab automation market size is expected to reach USD 14.68 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Lab Automation Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product, Automation (Task Targeted Automation, Total Laboratory Automation, and Subtotal Automation), Application, End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Lab automation involves integrating of automated technologies, including robotics, software solutions, and laboratory instruments, to streamline workflows and reduce manual intervention in laboratory processes. It enhances accuracy, efficiency, and reproducibility in applications such as clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, genomics, microbiology, and research laboratories. By minimizing human errors and increasing throughput, lab automation optimizes laboratory operations, supporting high-throughput screening and data management while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The lab automation market is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing demand for high-efficiency laboratory solutions, rising healthcare expenditure, and advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics.

The growing need for accurate and rapid diagnostic testing, particularly in clinical and research laboratories, has further accelerated adoption. Additionally, the shortage of skilled laboratory professionals has increased reliance on automation to maintain operational efficiency. Opportunities lie in the expansion of automation solutions in emerging markets and the development of AI-powered lab systems for enhanced data analysis. Trends such as cloud-based laboratory information management systems (LIMS), miniaturization of lab instruments, and automation in genomics and drug discovery are shaping the lab automation market , contributing to its continued expansion.

Lab Automation Market Report Highlights:

By automation, the subtotal automation segment holds the largest market share. This approach involves automating specific stages of laboratory processes—pre-analytical, analytical, or post-analytical—rather than the entire workflow.

By application, the drug discovery segment holds the largest lab automation market share. This prominence is due to the integration of automated systems that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of high-throughput screening processes, enabling rapid evaluation of numerous compounds

North America holds the largest market share, primarily due to its well-established healthcare infrastructure and significant investments in research and development.

The lab automation market in Europe is experiencing significant growth, driven by substantial investments in research and development, particularly in countries such as Germany and the UK.

Key players in the market are Abbott Laboratories; Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Aurora Biomed Inc.; Becton, Dickinson and Company; bioMérieux SA; Danaher Corporation; Eppendorf AG; F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.; Hamilton Company; Hudson Robotics; PerkinElmer Inc.; QIAGEN N.V.; Siemens Healthineers AG; Tecan Group Ltd.; and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
