自動リキッドハンドリングシステムの世界市場 - 自動ピペッティングシステム、自動マイクロプレートウォッシャー：ピペッティング/洗浄技術別、モダリティ別、機器タイプ別の分布：業界動向と予測（2023年～2035年）

世界の自動リキッドハンドリングシステムの現在の市場規模は、約28億2,000万米ドルと推定され、2023年～2035年にCAGRで約7.4％の成長が予測されています。

世界の自動リキッドハンドリングシステムの市場規模

生産性の向上とタイムラインの改善により、自動ピペッティングシステムやマイクロプレートウォッシャーなどの自動リキッドハンドリングシステムを提供する企業には有利な機会が到来すると予想されます。ピペッティング技術に関しては、ピストン/容積式技術が自動ピペットシステムの大半で採用される見込みです。容積式ピペットは、キャピラリーに内蔵されたピストンに液体を直接接触させることで精度と再現性を高めるためです。

北米が自動リキッドハンドリングシステム市場で最大シェアを占める

地域別では、北米が2023年に最大の市場シェア（40％超）を獲得します。これは、ライフサイエンス研究の約1/3が米国とカナダで行われていることや、インフラ整備のための投資が着実に行われていることに起因しています。さらに、これらの国々は多くのラボオートメーション関連の取り組みを支援してきました。途上国とは異なり、北米はラボオートメーション技術の採用率が高いです。上記の要因に基づき、北米市場は予測期間中、大幅なCAGRで成長すると予想されます。しかし、アジア太平洋市場は、長期的には比較的速いペースで成長する可能性があります。

主な動向の分析：自動リキッドハンドリングシステム市場におけるパートナーシップ、提携、特許

近年、この分野でのプレゼンスを強化し、自動リキッドハンドリングシステムの需要増に対応する生産能力と製品ポートフォリオを強化するために、ステークホルダーによっていくつかのパートナーシップが結ばれています。買収、製品の販売契約、製品の商業化契約は、自動リキッドハンドリングシステム業界のステークホルダーが締結するパートナーシップのもっとも一般的なタイプです。最近では、2022年11月に米国のHamilton RoboticsがBioFluidiXを買収し、製品ポートフォリオを強化しました。前者はすでに自動リキッドハンドリングワークステーションのポートフォリオを有しており、今回の買収によりHamilton Roboticsはナノリットルやピコリットルの少量の範囲の管理に使用できる特許取得済みのリキッドハンドリング技術を手に入れることができます。

自動ピペッティングシステムは高まる需要に応えるために進化している

自動ピペッティングシステムは、市場で最大のシェアを占めています。2022年にSPT Labtechがコンパクトな4in1自動リキッドハンドリングシステム、apricot DC1を発売したことは興味深いです。この製品は、混合、プール、ピペッティング、連続希釈用液体の調製など、通常の手動ピペッティング作業を合理化・自動化しました。さらに、Bio Molecular Systemsはカメラ一体型の初のリキッドハンドリングシステムであるMyraを発売し、サンプリングシステムの精度を確保しました。このような技術開発が、今後も市場成長を支えていく可能性があります。

遠心力技術が引き続き自動マイクロプレートウォッシャー市場を独占する

自動リキッドハンドリングシステムは、製薬・バイオテクノロジー研究所だけでなく、学術研究所でも採用が増加しています。遠心力技術は、ウェルプレートから液体を数秒で除去することにより、キャリーオーバーや交差汚染の可能性を低減するため、市場で最大のシェアを獲得すると予測されています。自動マイクロプレートウォッシャーにこの技術を積極的に採用している企業の例としては、BIOBASE、BlueCatBio、Cytena、Rayto Life and Analytical Sciences（アルファベット順）などがあります。
