Laboratory Data Management Software

Growth driven by demand for increased productivity. TDA estimates the lab informatics software market at about $2.2B in 2022. Market growth will be propelled by demand for increased productivity, data standardization, data sharing and regulatory compliance.  Cloud-based deployments and remote-work features have gained momentum, particularly as collaboration between labs and globalization of research continue to drive science forward.

Users adopt cloud-based technologies and AI-powered analytics. The ELN/LES market is expected to be the fastest-growing market. In addition, users are excited to see how AI-powered software can streamline lab processes and/or analytics. TDA expects ELNs as well as other lab data management software to incorporate the latest technologies to enhance data visualization and ease of use.

End-market segmentation. The current market is highly concentrated in the life science sector, driven by the massive amount of research data and regulatory compliance. The pharma/bio (including CxOs) industry accounts for nearly half of the demand. 

A harmonized software-instrument ecosystem. For CDS and MS software, the LC and MS instrument, respectively, seems to drive the sale, as users worry about interoperability. But a good, easy-to-use software package will certainly influence the purchase decision for an instrument.
