Surging Research and Development Investments in Pharmaceutical Industry Fuels North America Microplate Reader Market

Pharmaceutical research and development are gaining attraction worldwide owing to the rising focus on drug discovery. The US biopharmaceutical industry has been the world leader in developing new therapeutics. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the leading biopharmaceutical research companies in the US. In 2023, its member companies' research and development (R&D) expenditures worldwide reached ~US$ 96 billion. Pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in drug discovery, gene sequencing, and the development of targeted proteins to meet the growing demand of the healthcare sector.

The development of personalized medicine also leads to the increasing demand for genetic studies. Precision medicine utilizes an individual's genomic information to offer targeted treatment for a particular indication. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has increased the demand for biologics, drugs for orphan diseases, and personalized medicines. In February 2020, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announced the establishment of a new precision medicine and genomics program. This program will focus on the innovation of genomics and informatics tools to diagnose and treat diseases better. Advances in genomics and proteomics are key trends driving the growth of the microplate reader market. Therefore, increased funding for drug discovery and development activities in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors is driving demand for microplate readers. Companies such as Pfizer and Novartis are investing heavily in research and development activities for new drugs. These companies rely on the high-throughput screening capabilities provided by modern microplate readers to accelerate their research processes.

North America Microplate Reader Market Overview
