Academia is the leading source of demand for life science instrumentation, generating 31% of total revenue in 2019. It is followed by the combined segments of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The hospital & clinical market is quickly growing as sophisticated diagnostics labs are increasingly incorporating recent life science instrumentation developments.
North America continues to be the leading region, accounting for nearly half of the global market. Strong growth is expected for the region’s pharma/bio sector. China is expected to see strong growth but, the emergence of novel coronavirus COVID-19 has disrupted the Chinese economy, and shifted research focus and resources to the disease. This may result in a spike in demand for some life science technologies in the first year or two of the forecast.
