The U.S. laboratory informatics market size is expected to reach USD 1.62 billion in 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for lab automation and information management activities owing to the increasing amount of data generated by research laboratories is one of the primary growth stimulants for the market. The COVID-19 pandemic management has become the key challenge across the globe. Clinical laboratories are struggling to manage the rapid influx of COVID-19 testing samples, which, in turn, is affecting their ability to offer precise testing.
The implementation of automated solutions, such as Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), is anticipated to relieve this stress on clinical laboratories by encouraging efficient testing of voluminous samples. Laboratories are important to both research and manufacturing companies in the healthcare industry. A large amount of data is generated in these labs, which is impossible to capture, collect, store, and analyze manually. This is creating insurmountable obstacles for data management processes and conventional documentation requirements, especially in regulated environments, such as the life sciences sector.
Most laboratories manage information by combining manual & automatic methods and process it by using independent non-integrated data-processing systems. The use of isolated systems in laboratories hamper timely data transfer across information management systems, leading to unexpected delays and additional costs. In addition, manual transfer methods increase the likelihood of errors/loss, leading to added QA controls and a high number of manual transcription steps, which result in decreased efficiency and longer throughput time. The seamless flow of information from raw data to reusable knowledge is managed by a combination of various informatics systems.
In a laboratory, the deployment of these informatics systems is highly dependent on the environment (such as discovery, development, or manufacturing) and scientific domain (such as biology, chemistry, among others). The application of an informatics system in drug discovery is different from how it is used in clinical and manufacturing domains. The overall focus of laboratory informatics is efficiency improvement with respect to paperless information management, regulatory compliance, information quality, and labor cost. The aforementioned benefits are expected to augment the market over the forecast period.
