At 5.9% CAGR, Asia Pacific Microplate Reader Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 214.50 Million by 2031, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific microplate reader market was valued at US$ 136.08 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 214.50 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2031.Expanding applications in biopharmaceutical research and growing emphasis on point-of-care testing are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Asia Pacific microplate reader market growth.

A microplate reader is a laboratory instrument utilized to measure chemical, biological, or physical reactions within the wells of a microplate. It detects optical signals generated from these reactions, allowing for the quantification of specific analytes in the sample. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology research depends on variety of instrumentation. In high-throughput screening (HTS) and drug discovery, microplate-based assays assess large numbers of samples. A microplate reader detects signals and quantifies key parameters efficiently. These readers can handle up to 3,456 samples in minutes, minimizing operational time and reducing reagent costs. This efficiency allows researchers to focus more on data analysis and generating actionable insights, making microplate readers essential for various biological and chemical assays. Various market players, including Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Molecular Devices, LLC; and BMG LABTECH, offer innovative microplate readers for HTS and drug discovery research applications. BMG LABTECH's advanced detection technologies, such as NanoBRET and TR-FRET, can be used in high-throughput drug screening. In August 2023, Lonza launched the Nebula Absorbance Reader to improve endotoxin and pyrogen testing. The Nebula Absorbance Reader serves as a high-performance replacement, providing comparable results as the company’s Nebula Multimode Reader. Designed to work seamlessly with Lonza reagents, the Nebula Absorbance Reader meets specifications for Lonza’s endotoxin assays, including the PYROGENT 5000 and Kinetic-QCL assays. It also supports readouts for monocyte activation tests, such as the PyroCell MAT System.

On the contrary, the high cost of advanced microplate readers hampers the growth of Asia Pacific microplate reader market.
