Laboratory Mixer Global Market Report 2025

Laboratory mixers and shakers are instruments designed to facilitate the creation of a homogeneous mixture from one or more ingredients, making them essential for various mixing applications in laboratories.

The primary product types of laboratory mixers include shakers, magnetic stirrers, vortex mixers, conical mixers, overhead stirrers, and related accessories. Shakers, for instance, perform their function by shaking the mixtures placed on them. These devices can be categorized into digital and analog platforms, operating with different movement types such as gyratory movement, linear movement, rocking or tilting movement, and orbital movement. Laboratory mixers and shakers find application in diverse sectors, including research laboratories and institutes, as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Their versatility makes them crucial tools for achieving precise and controlled mixing in scientific and industrial settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

The laboratory mixer market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides laboratory mixer market statistics, including laboratory mixer industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a laboratory mixer market share, detailed laboratory mixer market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the laboratory mixer industry. This laboratory mixer market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The laboratory mixer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.8 billion in 2024 to $1.95 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to chemical industry expansion, food and beverage production, food safety regulations, biopharmaceutical production, clinical diagnostics.

The laboratory mixer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to green chemistry initiatives, supply chain resilience, healthcare diagnostics expansion, global health initiatives, expansion of telemedicine. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainable mixing solutions, artificial intelligence (ai) and automation integration, advanced sensors and controls, point-of-care diagnostics, pharmaceutical innovation.

The forecast of 8.9% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on variable-speed digital controllers and chemical-resistant mixing blades, sourced from key regions such as Denmark and Ireland, which could lead to reduced sample preparation options and higher costs for laboratory instrumentation.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growth of the laboratory mixer market is driven by the increasing prevalence of diseases, which contributes to the rise in laboratory diagnostic testing, research, and development activities. Laboratory mixers, essential tools in all laboratories, are used for mixing, dissolving, and emulsifying materials. For instance, data from September 2023 by the World Health Organization reveals that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic conditions contribute to 74% of the total deaths globally each year, amounting to 41 million fatalities. These include 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million from diabetes. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the laboratory mixer market in the foreseeable future.

The growing investments in research and development (R&D) activities are influencing the laboratory mixer market. Increased funding from pharmaceutical companies is driving R&D efforts focused on various medicines and vaccines. These research initiatives create a demand for lab equipment, including test tubes, laboratory mixers, stirrers, shakers, refrigerators, and more. For example, in March 2023, Merck KGaA, a biopharmaceutical manufacturer based in Germany, reported R&D expenditures of $2.76 billion in 2022, up from $2.65 billion in 2021. Thus, the rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities are expected to propel the growth of the laboratory mixer market.

Major companies in the laboratory mixer market are strategically introducing convertible mixing devices to enhance their market competitiveness. Convertible laboratory mixing devices, such as the TWISTER launched by IKA-Werke GmbH & Co in June 2022, serve as both single-position and multi-position magnetic stirrers, providing versatility in various mixing applications. The TWISTER features high-speed vacuum mixing and a dust-repelling design, delivering efficient and standardized mixing solutions in scientific and industrial settings.

Major companies in the laboratory mixers market are focusing on introducing compact high-shear lab mixers to gain a competitive edge. Compact high-shear lab mixers, exemplified by the Benchmix 10 launched by Admix Inc. in August 2022, are valuable tools for blending, emulsifying, and dispersing substances with precision in laboratory settings. The Benchmix 10, suitable for various industries, can mix up to 1 gallon (4 liters) at speeds reaching 9300 RPM, featuring the patented Admix Rotosolver high shear mix head for efficient powder dispersion.
