Global Lab on Chips Market: Snapshot

The lab on chips technology comes handy as it allows to perform several experiments on the small chips with a solid platform. In many ways they act as mini laboratories, which is the chief driver of their demand across the healthcare sector. The microfluidic technique was developed back in 1990s and have been exhibiting growth at a steady pace since its advent. The global lab on chips market is forecast to grow at a rapid pace on account of its increasing application in healthcare and drug development techniques. The implementation of the technology has resulted in the development of various point of care devices and in-vitro diagnostic techniques such as pregnancy kits and glucometer kits. Due to their increasing application in in-vitro diagnostics, drug discovery, and other pharmaceutical operations, the acceptance of lab on chip techniques has significantly increased.

The presence of large players in most geographies has rendered the vendor landscape of the global lap on chips market highly competitive. However, the market exhibits a high degree of consolidation with the top 8 players accounting for nearly 80% of the overall market in 2016. Among these enterprises Danaher Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific, F. Hoffmann-La-Roche AG, and Abbott Laboratories enjoy dominance on account of extensive geographical presence and diverse product portfolio, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. Besides this, several companies are aiming for strategic collaborations to strengthen their market position.

Rising Incidence of Chronic Ailments to Boost Opportunities

Health growth is on cards for the global lab on chips market on account of the rising incidence of peripheral vascular disorders. Besides this, the spread of infectious diseases and high investment for developments in healthcare infrastructure will remain the chief drivers of the market. With the geriatric population worldwide forecast to rise further, the demand for lab on chips is likely to increase in the coming years. “According to the WHO, the geriatric demography will double itself in the coming years,” said a lead TMR analyst. “Nations around the world will therefore face severe challenges to ensure improvements in healthcare systems and preparedness to capitalize the most on the demographic shift,” he added.

Furthermore, the availability of lab on chips technology at an affordable price will aid its market’s growth. In addition, primary benefits encouraging use of these microfluidic systems include the compact design and lightweight of these devices. Acceptance of novel technologies will also bolster opportunities for the global lab on chips market.

The two key applications of lab on chip techniques and devices are life sciences research and diagnostics. As both these fields are forecast to exhibit accelerated growth, the global lab on chips market will get consequently benefitted.

Stringent Regulatory Approvals Considered as Major Bottlenecks

On the downside, quality issues, taboos surrounding the acceptance of novel technologies, high cost compared to their traditional counterparts, and stringent regulations implemented by governments are the key challenges restraining the market. For instance, authorities such as FDA and EMA regulate approvals to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy of drugs and medical devices in the U.S. and Europe, respectively. Obtaining pre-market approvals are lengthy and often expensive processes. This could have a negative impact on the overall lab on chips market.

Besides this, reliability issues have emerged as key bottlenecks. Despite system components being dependable, poor assembly of these devices often negatively impact their growth trajectory. The market is also reeling under lack of awareness about novel technologies across underdeveloped and developing nations.
