Category spend intelligence research analysts highlight the following four factors that are contributing to the growth of the global laboratory equipment services market:

  • Rise in demand for pharmaceutical laboratories in APAC
  • Increased need for high-quality pharmaceutical products
  • Augmented government spend on pharmaceutical R&D and drug discovery
  • Increase in R&D spend of pharmaceutical companies

Rise in demand for pharmaceutical laboratories in APAC

Emerging economies in APAC, such as India and China, are witnessing huge demand for pharmaceutical, CRO, and biopharmaceutical facilities, wich is proving to be a major contributing factor for the laboratory equipment services market.



For instance, the CRO market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11%-13% during 2011-2016 to reach USD 1 billion by 2016.

In 2015, the laboratory equipment market in APAC was mostly driven by emerging economies such as India and China. However, it is expected to grow at a faster pace over the next 2-4 years compared to mature markets such as North America and Europe due to ongoing expansion of several pharmaceutical companies in the region.


Need for high-quality pharmaceutical products

Growing demand for clinical laboratories and high-quality pharmaceutical products has prompted research pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms to adopt advanced laboratory equipment and instruments, which is a key contributor to market growth.

More than 20% of the instrumentation and equipment in research laboratories is likely to be replaced over the next five years.

Increase in government spending on pharmaceutical R&D and drug discovery

Emerging markets such as China, India, and South Korea are witnessing a rise in government spending on R&D activities. For instance, as part of its 12th five-year plan, the Government of China invested USD 6.6 billion in drug discovery and development during 2011-2015.

Rise in R&D activities of pharmaceutical companies

Increased spend on R&D activities by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies has triggered investments on upgrading of existing laboratories and establishment of new laboratories. This is a key driver for the laboratory equipment market. The global biopharmaceutical spend on R&D activities is expected to increase from USD 125 billion in 2014 to USD 148 billion by 2020.
