Biotechnology equipment market is growing at a rapid rate due to the continuous requirement of biotechnology instruments in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries support the rising trend towards biopharmaceuticals. Also the increase in number of biotechnology firms’ world wide, advances in life science research and technology innovations with human genome mapping and emergence of proteomics has enabled industry growth; as such high-end research projects require quality instruments with high throughput capacity. All this factors are driving the biotechnology instrumentation market. Economic down turn, high cost of biopharmaceuticals and long gestation period are the factors restricting the market.

The biotechnology equipment market includes the instruments used in separation, purification and analysis of biomolecules in drug discovery and diagnostics. The market growth of biotechnology instruments has been driven by the growth in drug discovery research, which itself follows the increased demand for newer drugs and therapies worldwide. Moreover, the end of the human genome project has marked genomics and proteomics revolution, thus enhancing global research on genes, proteins and related biomolecules.  

The instruments covered under this report are Chromatography, Electrophoresis, Sequencers and Synthesizers, Lab Automation, Immunoassay, Array, Mass Spectrometer, Flow Cytometer and others.
