  Enhanced Access and Error-Free Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Boost Market Growth

  
  

The market CAGR in Automated Liquid Handling Technologies is primarily driven by improved access and error-free automated liquid handling technologies. ALH systems provide its users with various advantages. The fundamental benefit of automated liquid handlers is that they eliminate individual and daily variability. ALS devices, unlike manual dispensing, require less training to discharge sub-microliter volumes. They also allow for integration with a variety of different processing devices, including PCR sets and next-generation sequencing platforms. Automated liquid handlers are calibrated and optimized automatically using variables such as liquid type. Another significant feature of ALH systems is their capacity to reproduce data without error, which is vital for drug development, disease and diagnostics research, and therapeutic and clinical applications.

Moreover, the increased demand for high-throughput experimentation in drug discovery, genomics, and other life science research is a major driver of the automated liquid handling market. Laboratories aim to speed up research procedures, screen greater sample sizes, and analyze data more efficiently. Automated liquid handling systems can perform complicated operations with precision and consistency, making them critical instruments for meeting the demand for high throughput screening and analysis.

Another driver that drives the market by rising investment in drug development and research. Pharmaceutical companies' spending on research and development has risen over time. For instance, Pfizer spent USD 7,690 million on R&D in 2015, which is expected to rise to USD 9,405 million by 2020. Furthermore, according to a research article published in Molecules, 2020, between 2015 and 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a total of 208 new drugs (150 new chemical entities and 58 biologics), 15 of which were peptides or peptide-containing molecules, demonstrating the vast number of drugs being developed and increasing the use of liquid handling systems.

According to a report published in BioPharma Trend 2020, the pharmaceutical sector has made rapid advances in artificial intelligence for drug discovery. This change is expected to raise the level of investment in R&D initiatives aimed at discovering novel therapeutic targets. In addition, biotech investors have made significant investments in AI-based drug development methodologies and the usage of automated liquid handling equipment. They are more hopeful about artificial intelligence's potential in the realm of drug research. Most investors are currently interested in drug discovery research and development as a result of the numerous breakthrough discoveries of highly effective medications against various chronic conditions. As a result, pharmaceutical companies have boosted their expenditure on medication development and research, increasing the global need for liquid handling equipment. Thus, driving the Automated Liquid Handling Technologies Market revenue.
