Laboratory Information Management System Market : Global Forecast to 2023

The global laboratory information management system (LIMS) market is expected to reach USD 1,355.0 million by 2023 from USD  747.3 million in 2018, at a CAGR of 12.6%. Growth in this market is driven by the increasing use of LIMS to comply with stringent regulatory requirements, increasing focus on improving the efficiency of laboratories, technological advancements in LIMS offerings, increasing R&D expenditure in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and growing adoption of cloud-based LIMS.

This report segments the LIMS market into type, component, deployment model, industry, and region. Based on type, the market is segmented into broad-based LIMS and industry-specific LIMS. The broad-based LIMS segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018. These solutions provide users with significant room for customization and interpretation that can support multiple businesses across different geographic locations; these factors are driving the adoption of broad-based LIMS. Furthermore, broad-based solutions also help streamline laboratory workflow processes and improve decision-making and reporting. These advantages also expected to drive their uptake in the coming years.

In 2018 North America accounted for the largest market share followed by Europe. Strong economies of the US and Canada that allows a significant investment in new technologies, growth in biobanks, easy availability of LIMS products and services, and stringent regulatory requirements across industries are the key factors driving the growth of the LIMS market in North America.

However, the high maintenance and service costs and the lack of integration standards for LIMS are expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.

The laboratory information management system market is highly competitive with the presence of several small and big players. Prominent players in the market include LabWare (US), Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Abbott Informatics (US), LabVantage Solutions (US), were the leading players in the LIMS market. Other major players include LabLynx. (US), Autoscribe Informatics (US), Computing Solutions (US), GenoLogics (Canada), LABWORKS (US), Dassault Systèmes (France), Siemens (Germany), and Accelerated Technology Laboratories (US).
