Description

Software systems underpin nearly all advanced technologies, procedures, and data analytics in laboratories—whether involved in routine sample analysis or complex research activities. The automation capabilities they provide allow scientists to streamline workflows, set analytical parameters, comply with regulatory requirements, and record, organize, and analyze data. Their very existence makes high-throughput testing possible, and their capabilities continue to expand.

While there are numerous forms of laboratory software, this report focuses on select advanced technologies known for their ubiquity in labs across the globe and across diverse end markets. Specifically, it covers laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and related software, including electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) and scientific data management systems (SDMS). It also includes chromatography data systems (CDS), designed to work with lab chromatographs, and mass spectrometry software (MSS), tailored for mass spectrometers. Additionally, the report covers bioinformatics database tools that assist in the collection, analysis, and management of complex biological data, as well as cheminformatics tools used to solve problems in the field of chemistry.

Compared to the previous edition of the LIMS report, this edition includes standalone or add-on AI laboratory software, along with AI usage trends for each software type. AI/ML features are still evolving within the laboratory environment; therefore, the end-user perspectives provided in this report focus on current and future AI/ML feature integration, perceptions, and adoption trends.

The purpose of this report is to provide both quantitative market data and qualitative insights derived from primary and secondary sources. To that end, it offers the following information for LIMS/ELN/LES/SDMS, MSS, CDS, and bioinformatics & cheminformatics software:
  • 2024 market size
  • 2024 regional and end-market segmentation, including five-year growth rates
  • 2024 vendor share distribution
  • Analysis of a 144-question survey completed by 210 respondents who regularly use laboratory software and are located in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The survey explores regional and sectoral differences in software usage, supplier distribution, satisfaction levels, the relative importance of key software features, and more.
The usefulness of this report will vary depending on the reader’s goals and how they intend to apply the information. Nonetheless, it should be valuable to any organization or individual seeking in-depth sales data on the segmented and forecasted lab software market, a clearer picture of supplier market share, and a better understanding of the qualitative preferences and challenges faced by lab software users. This information is especially useful for supplier companies developing internal market outlooks and short- or long-term marketing strategies.

Please Note: Single user allows for up to 3 users for this report.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
