Biotechnology uses various types of instruments depending on the lab's purpose and the kind of research being done in the lab. All the biotechnology labs have DNA sequencing equipment, typical lab equipment, and essential equipment, irrespective of the research type. Biotechnology development requires standard laboratory equipment for performing experimental or clinical research.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Point-of-care testing (PCOT) has been gaining traction in recent periods across the globe among people and is influencing market growth. The PCOT is conducted on the patient's site and where the treatment is provided as PCOT gives rapid test results, which help in implementing the appropriate treatment. To improve the quality of care, various point-of-care testing devices are adopting technological advancements that enhance the market revenue of biotechnology instruments—considering this as the market trend, various market players are investing in these instruments to gain the consumer base, which fuels the market expansion. For Instance, Abbott launched a molecular point-of-care test to detect COVID-19 in less than five minutes during the Pandemic. Product launches like these and the regulatory approvals for the products are propelling the market growth. Another primary factor that increases the demand for biotechnology instruments is nanopore sequencing, which the researchers and scientists from the centralized and decentralized labs are highly adopting. The primary aim is to accelerate the exchange of sequencing data from SARS-CoV2.

The increase in the incidence of chronic target diseases across the globe is raising the number of surgical procedures, demanding biotechnology instruments, and augmenting market share growth. The growing number of geriatric people across the world is enhancing the cases of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and others. The rising demand for surgical procedures, majorly minimally invasive, is expected to provide market growth opportunities. Due to the growing prevalence of chronic illness worldwide, the market for new drug development has risen, enhancing the biotechnology instruments market.

The rising demand for biotechnology procedures in research will increase the adoption of biotechnology instruments by providing market growth opportunities during the forecast period. The increasing demand for life science consumables consists of the lab's necessities for research procedures. These include syringes, pipettes, beakers, testing kits, and others most used in all research laboratories. The glass consumables are in high demand compared to the plastic consumables due to efficient work. The growing R&D activities in the healthcare structure and the government funding the R&D are expected to enhance the biotechnology instruments market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The high cost of biotechnology instruments is hampering global market growth. The adoption of biotechnology instruments is restrained due to expensive output for operation and maintenance compared to other instruments. The cases of hazardous viruses or bacteria leaking from research facilities are influencing people to doubt the efficiency of biotechnology equipment. In a few cases, the same equipment used for the development of vaccines and for deadly virus growth may result in contamination, which influences human health. These rare scenarios are expected to limit the market growth of biotechnology instruments due to a decreased adoption rate.

The use of biotechnology instruments in the agricultural field has the more significant potential to spread crop diseases and contaminate the gene pool, impeding the adoption of biotechnology instruments, which limits market expansion.

Various stringent regulations for product approvals by the regulatory authorities are challenging for market growth. Launching biotechnology testing kits or other devices to detect or diagnose diseases is challenging for the market expansion as the regulatory approvals are time-consuming and complex, which is expected to hamper market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:on Biotechnology Instruments Market:

The Pandemic positively impacted the biotechnology instruments market as the outbreak of COVID-19 increased the research activities on various infectious diseases, including COVID-19. This influenced the market players to accelerate R&D activities by focusing on new innovative product launches, positively impacting the market share during the Pandemic. The post-pandemic situation shows the increasing incidence of research activities due to growing investments by the market players, and government funding shows steady growth in the market revenue.
