Market Trends & Opportunities
- Rising Penetration of Multi-vendor Services: The laboratory equipment services market is witnessing a surge in multi-vendor services, also known as Laboratory Asset Management (LAM) or Single Source Services. This trend involves the provision of laboratory equipment maintenance services for multiple vendors by a single provider. Multi-vendor services are gaining popularity, particularly with the growing number of laboratories and advanced products in the market. This service model offers a comprehensive solution for laboratories to access a wide range of services without the need to engage multiple third-party service providers.
- Emerging Trend of Outsourcing Laboratory Equipment Services: In a bid to control costs, pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device companies, and healthcare settings such as hospitals and clinics are increasingly outsourcing laboratory equipment services. These organizations consider equipment maintenance a critical factor in cost-saving initiatives. Outsourcing laboratory equipment services helps in achieving cost efficiency while ensuring compliance, quality of results, and equipment uptime. This trend has gained momentum in recent years, as companies in these sectors become less risk-averse and actively seek cost-saving opportunities in equipment maintenance through outsourced service providers.
- Increasing Complexity in Laboratory Equipment: The global laboratory industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by high-tech technology integrations and advancements in lab equipment. These advancements have led to increasing complexity in laboratory equipment. Equipment components and overall lab setups have become more intricate and require meticulous care. The integration of new technologies such as lab automation, lab equipment software, robotics, ILIMS (Integrated Laboratory Information Management System), and others has added complexity to laboratory equipment. As a result, the demand for laboratory equipment services for complex and sensitive lab equipment has surged. External service providers, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party service providers, play a vital role in maintaining and servicing these sophisticated instruments.
