LIQUID HANDLING SYSTEMS MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Transformation of Liquid Handling Systems in Genomics

The transformation in liquid handling systems from imprecise and hazardous methods of mouth pipetting in the early 20th century to the introduction of the first air-displacement mechanical pipette in the 1950s significantly revolutionized the genomics field, and now it has become a major field contributing to health revenue for market growth.

Furthermore, the development of advanced semi-automated to fully-automated liquid handling systems, tremendously transformed genomics research by offering a higher level of precision, safety, and efficiency that keeps pace with rapid advancements in genomics. According to SPT Labtech (2023), one of the market players stated that advancements in liquid handling systems empower researchers and scientists in the genomic revolution. One of the key technologies that transform genomics is Next-generation Sequencing (NGS), which enables scientists to obtain sequencing data at a lower cost and on a higher scale than ever before.

Advancements in Microplate Reagent Dispensers for Liquid Handling Systems

Microplate reagent Dispensers have become technology-driven tools in liquid handling, enabling precise, automated, and versatile liquid handling for a range of diverse applications in life sciences industries. The growing integration capabilities of robotics and automation systems and the incorporation of technology-driven tools and commands make them one of the most reliable automated tools in liquid handling.

There are Several market players advancing microplate reagent dispensing to stand out as unique in the market. For instance, BioTek's range of microplate washers and dispensers can integrate with several robotic systems for increased efficiency and automation. It's one of Multimode Dispenser - BioTEk MultiFlo FX for 6-to 1536-well microplate systems incorporates several unique technologies, such as patented automated media exchange (AMX) modules, random access dispense (RAD), and parallel dispense modules.

Importance of Liquid Handling in Drug Discovery & Development

Liquid Handling System is the most essential equipment in several aspects of drug discovery and development (DDD), involved in almost every stage. Increasing attention to liquid handling quality assurance early in the DDD processes is the most recognized way that biopharma companies can enhance efficiency and quality in their regular operations. By incorporating the Liquid Handling Quality Assurance (LHQA) program from compound preparation through clinical studies, biopharma companies' labs can develop quality into their clinical trials processes and decrease the time and cost of drug discovery.

As of 2025, more than 40 to 55 drugs are launched annually, and over 10,000 new drug compounds are in the pipeline globally, according to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations report 2023. The growing clinical studies and increasing demand for liquid handling procedures are accelerating a significant demand for liquid handling systems.

Growing Importance of Lab Automation and Automated Liquid Handling Systems

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly influenced the adoption of lab automation and liquid handling automation due to the global shift towards remote work in laboratories. In addition, in the post-pandemic period, the associated benefits, such as significant precision in liquid handling, minimized material wastage, high accuracy, and cost efficiency, are some of the factors that significantly increase attention towards lab automation and automated liquid handling systems. Gilson Incorporated, one of the leading market players in liquid handling systems, reported that the demand and deployment of automated liquid handling systems have significantly accelerated since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
