Market Definition

The Biotechnology Equipment Market was valued at USD 40.78 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 121.81 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2023 to 2030.

Biotechnology can be defined as the branch of science that deals with the application of biological techniques for human welfare. It entails the enzymatic modification of genes, which results in the production of several biological entities such as antibodies, and vaccines among others that benefit mankind. Biotechnology has numerous applications, primarily in medicine and agriculture. Prominent uses of biotechnology include merging biological information with computer technology and exploring the use of microscopic equipment that can enter the human body and assist in several diagnostic procedures or treatments.

Moreover, biotechnology has made stem cell research and cloning possible to replace dead or defective cells and tissues. These procedures require equipment such as sterilizing and disinfecting equipment called autoclave, microcentrifuges to spin samples, and incubators for the growth and storage of bacterial cultures among others.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The growing demand for biotechnology in medical applications that involves the research and production of new medicines along with diagnostic tests to detect various diseases is leading to the increased utilization of biotechnological equipment such as laboratory tubes, microscopes, and others. This is attributable to the significant growth of the biotechnology equipment market in the region.

Also, the rising demand for green biotechnology in agricultural applications that provides farmers with biotechnological tools to make production cheaper, faster, and more manageable is driving the growth of the biotechnology equipment market. In addition, green biotechnology is used in various agricultural applications including hybridization, plant tissue culture, bio-fertilizer technology, and others leading to the extensive use of biotechnology equipment.

Moreover, the growing need for white biotechnology in industrial sectors, which utilizes living cells from organisms such as yeast, molds, bacteria, plants, and enzymes to manufacture a range of industrial products, including laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing detergents, is anticipated to drive market growth. This trend necessitates the utilization of diverse biotechnological equipment throughout the production process, thereby fueling the expansion of the market.

However, high cost of the biotechnological equipment along with shortage of skilled professionals in developing countries that can operate this complex equipment are the factors restraining the growth of the market. On the other hand, technological advancements in biotechnology equipment, particularly in current cell therapies for cancer and blood-related diseases, are expected to create ample opportunities for the biotechnology market in the coming years.
