The pipetting robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.09 billion in 2025 to $1.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in laboratory automation, increasing research workloads, need for reproducibility, manual pipetting limitations, expansion of life science research.
The pipetting robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to drug discovery expansion, genomics and proteomics growth, demand for lab efficiency, integration with LIMS systems, rising clinical diagnostics testing. Major trends in the forecast period include high throughput liquid handling, reduction of manual pipetting errors, automated laboratory workflows, consistent volume dispensing accuracy, scalable modular robot platforms.
The growing adoption of lab automation is expected to drive the growth of the pipetting robots market in the coming years. Lab automation involves the use of machines, software, and automated tools to perform tasks such as testing, measuring, and processing samples with minimal human intervention, allowing laboratories to work faster, more accurately, and with fewer errors in a streamlined workflow. The increasing demand for faster and more accurate sample processing is driving the rise of lab automation, as it reduces manual labor and enhances efficiency within a continuous workflow. Pipetting robots play a key role in this automation by performing precise and repetitive liquid-handling tasks automatically, improving speed, accuracy, and consistency while minimizing manual effort. For example, in August 2024, the Pistoia Alliance, a US-based not-for-profit organization, reported that the adoption of lab automation technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) increased from 54% in 2023 to 68% in 2024. This represents a 14-point jump, with the number of labs using advanced systems growing from 108 to 136 out of 200 surveyed. Thus, the increasing adoption of lab automation is driving the growth of the pipetting robots market.
Leading companies in the pipetting robots market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as no-code robotic systems, to simplify laboratory automation. A no-code robotic solution allows users to set up and execute pipetting tasks without needing programming knowledge, which improves workflow efficiency and reduces manual errors. For example, in September 2024, Opentrons Labworks Inc., a US-based lab automation company, launched the Opentrons Flex Prep robot, paired with new no-code software. This innovation enables users to develop, visualize, and execute pipetting tasks in as little as a minute through a touchscreen interface, offering both simplicity and enhanced capability. The Flex Prep robot integrates seamlessly with Opentrons' existing lab automation solutions, providing a user-friendly, affordable, and versatile liquid-handling experience. The system improves laboratory efficiency, ensures precise liquid transfers, and allows researchers to focus on more critical aspects of their experiments.
In December 2023, Hudson Robotics, Inc., a US-based company specializing in liquid handling, microplate automation, and laboratory robotics, acquired Tomtec Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
