The outbreak of the Coronavirus has turned the spotlight on the healthcare sector. Shortages of critical medical supplies during this pandemic have severely impacted the overall market. Almost half of the laboratories around the world were shut down and an estimated 14% of the laboratories were fully functional. Subsequently, government measures like stay-at-home orders, social distancing norms, movement restrictions, and supply chain disruptions have created a logistical problem for companies, leading to the shortages of on-premise delivery of the product in the worldwide marketplace.

On the other hand, with an unprecedented demand for COVID-19 testing worldwide, clinical labs have scaled up their operations and faced new challenges comprising development, standardization, and validation of the new methods for testing and administration of large volumes of patient specimens and test data, besides rapid and reliable reporting of test outcomes. To speed up the high demand for COVID-19 tests in clinical labs, a LIMS plays an essential role, which led to the adoption of the product.

Moreover, laboratory information systems are gaining popularity in biobanks, academic research institutes, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) owing to the associated benefits. The benefits of using these systems include process optimization, improved regulatory compliance, intellectual property rights protection, and reduced throughput time. Paperless information management reduces labor costs and offers improved data quality through the elimination of errors and faster and effective data analytics.

Laboratories are critical to both manufacturing and research organizations across the life sciences and medical research industries. The primary objective of a laboratory is to ensure the generation of high-quality and reliable experiment data that conforms to the regulatory guidelines of the industry. Advances in technology combined with stringent regulatory needs and increasing commercial pressures have led to the rapid generation of vast amounts of data from various aspects comprising research and development, quality assurance, and manufacturing.

Furthermore, an increasing burden from the regulatory authorities for the implementation of lab automation systems is expected to serve this market with lucrative growth opportunities. The increasing adoption of robotics and process automation in healthcare has rendered operations reproducible and repeatable. It is now possible to set up, run, and analyze the experimental results in a shorter time. Rising penetration of high throughput systems has enabled efficient evaluation of experimental results, which increases the overall efficiency of laboratory operations.
