The report, now available on ASDReports, "Life Science Instrumentation Market by Technology (Chromatography, Flow Cytometer, Spectroscopy, PCR, Microscopy), End User (Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies, CROs, Hospitals), Application (Research, Clinical & Diagnostic) - Global Forecast to 2021", analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW).

This report studies the global life science instrumentation market over the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. The market is expected to reach USD 64.52 Billion by 2021, at CAGR of 6.8% from 2016 to 2021. A number of factors such as increasing spending on pharmaceutical R&D, growing food safety concerns, availability of public and private funding for life science research, and continuous technological advancements in analytical instruments are fueling the growth of the life science instrumentation market. On the other hand, presence of alternative analytical technologies, high cost of instruments, and need for skilled professionals are some of the key factors limiting the growth of the global life science instrumentation market.

Based on the type of technology, the global life science instrumentation market is divided into thirteen segments, namely, cell counting, centrifuges, chromatography, electrophoresis, flow cytometry, immunoassays, liquid handling and robotics, microscopy, next-generation sequencing, PCR, spectroscopy, western blotting, and other technologies. The other technologies segment includes heat sterilization, colorimeter, fume hoods, incubators, laboratory balances, microplate systems, and laboratory freezers.

On the basis of end users, the global life science instrumentation market is segmented into pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies; CROs; research institutions; hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories; academic institutions; forensic science laboratories; food and agriculture industry; environmental testing industry; and other end users. On the basis of applications, the life science instrumentation market is segmented into research applications; clinical and diagnostic applications; and other applications. The other applications segment comprises food and beverage testing, environmental testing, industrial chemistry, forensics, cosmetic industry, and petrochemical industry.

As of 2016, North America held the largest share of the global life science instrumentation market, followed by Europe. However, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to register the highest CAGR of 8.6% from 2016 to 2021.
