Europe Microplate Reader Market Forecast to 2031 - Regional Analysis

Description

List of Tables

The microplate reader market in Europe was valued at approximately USD 154.66 million in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 223.72 million by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031.

Growth Drivers in Biopharmaceutical Research

Microplate readers are essential laboratory instruments that measure various chemical, biological, or physical reactions occurring within the wells of microplates. They detect optical signals produced by these reactions, enabling the quantification of specific analytes in samples. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors heavily rely on a range of instruments, particularly in high-throughput screening (HTS) and drug discovery processes, where microplate-based assays allow for the assessment of numerous samples simultaneously.

These devices can process up to 3,456 samples in just a few minutes, significantly reducing operational time and minimizing reagent costs. This efficiency allows researchers to dedicate more time to data analysis and deriving actionable insights, making microplate readers indispensable for various biological and chemical assays. Key players in the market, such as Agilent Technologies, Inc., Molecular Devices, LLC, and BMG LABTECH, are providing innovative microplate readers tailored for HTS and drug discovery applications. For instance, BMG LABTECH has developed advanced detection technologies like NanoBRET and TR-FRET, which are utilized in high-throughput drug screening.

In August 2023, Lonza introduced the Nebula Absorbance Reader, designed to enhance endotoxin and pyrogen testing. This new reader serves as a high-performance alternative, delivering results comparable to those obtained with Lonza's Nebula Multimode Reader. It is specifically designed to work seamlessly with Lonza's reagents and meets the specifications for their endotoxin assays, including the PYROGENT 5000 and Kinetic-QCL assays, while also supporting readouts for monocyte activation tests such as the PyroCell MAT System.

Overview of the European Microplate Reader Market

The European microplate reader market is segmented into several countries, including Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe. Europe holds a significant position in the global microplate reader market, with expectations of robust growth driven by both government and private funding for research in biologics and pharmaceuticals, as well as the introduction of innovative technologies.

In Germany, the market is particularly influenced by new drug development initiatives and extensive research and development activities. Manufacturers of microplate readers in Germany are focusing on product promotion and awareness strategies. Additionally, the expansion of business operations among market players is anticipated to boost clinical research in the country.
