Clinical laboratories will increasingly turn to lab automation systems as they deal with a growing demand for diagnostic tests, reductions in reimbursement rates and a diminishing labor pool. That’s the assessment from life sciences research firm Kalorama Information in the new report Lab Automation Markets Worldwide.
The report analyzes the current and potential world markets for medical laboratory automation systems and equipment – both for the clinical diagnostics lab and the drug discovery and research lab.
Kalorama predicts manufacturers can expect growth rates of 6 percent to 9 percent annually in the lab automation market over the next few years, and those systems that are open and can connect to competing platforms will do best.
