LIMS Gaining Traction in Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical and Oil and Gas Industry

With the help of dedicated applications, software, and workstations automation of laboratory routine procedures improves lab productivity and enables the researchers to focus on other important work and it also reduces human errors. However, this is a major factor driving the adoption of informatics in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face significant pressure to follow the strict guidelines for preclinical and clinical testing. However, laboratory monitoring management system streamline their workflows and ensure stringent regulatory standards. As per act 21 CFR part 11 and CLIA it is mandatory to comprehensive documentation and audit trails of the entire process from the research and development to production, quality control, and testing of the laboratory. 

Due to concerns over security and data management, many laboratories are increasingly adopting laboratory information management systems to streamline their workflows and ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards. As a result, the demand for laboratory information management systems in laboratories operating in the target industries is on the rise in the forecast period. Laboratory information management systems employed in the oil and gas industry in the analysis of the optimizing process, hydrocarbon samples, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulation. Laboratories play a pivotal role in determining where the best to invest resources to maximize the returns from extraction and during the exploration. LIMS secures vital information about the quality of the material its viability and its composition.

Biobanking and On-Premise Deployment Recorded Significant Growth

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, laboratories experienced a surge of 24/7 laboratory testing services. Moreover, laboratories were operating on a full scale, which resulted in significant stress on laboratory infrastructure and lab personnel. However, this encourages the implementation of the LIMS system to streamline the workflow by global benchmarks. In the future, if crises like the COVID-19 pandemic arise, laboratories can adopt LIMS for accumulating data for a large-scale multicentre study of actual non-clinical efficacy trials. In 2023, by deployment mode on-premise segment accounted for the largest share of the LIMS market. The growth is accounted due to factors such as specific requirements like preferences of businesses requiring localized control and management of the laboratory. The life science segment will progress in 2024 due to the growing number of biobanks biorepositories and pharmaceutical companies outsourcing diverse processes. 

Rising demand for biobanking, a growing emphasis on laboratory improvisation, and technical developments in LIMS offerings are factors responsible for the growth of the market for the laboratory information management system. In biological studies, specific protocols, genomic studies, cohort projects, and clinical trials, the LIMS system helps biobanks to manage and monitor samples produced. In hospitals, clinics, and biobanks LIMS plays a vital role in advancing the results with the supply of biospecimens concerned to the end-users. Laboratories implemented the LIMS for bioresearch, vitro ADME studies, QA/QC R&D, and discovery R&D to preserve accuracy and robust functionality.

Low Budgets and Limited Skilled Professionals Hampering Market Growth

The laboratory information management system industry has gained a significant boost due to the rising demand for scientific data integration solutions. However, LIMS software is intricate and requires expertise in fields like data analysis, healthcare IT, and laboratory workflows. There is a widening gap between the demand for skilled LIMS professionals and the available talent pool due to rapid advancements in technology and specialized knowledge. Implementing and sustaining LIMS often require substantial financial investments for software licenses, hardware infrastructure, and ongoing technical support. Regular updates, customization, and staff training contribute to the maintenance expenses. 

These costs may deter smaller laboratories or organizations with limited budgets from adopting LIMS, limiting market penetration. As a result, the perceived financial burden of maintaining LIMS solutions becomes a notable challenge, hindering broader adoption and potentially impeding the growth of the global LIMS market. Limited budgets may force the organization to allocate the resources to other critical areas which results in delay or limited LIMS implementation. As a result, limited budgets can slow the market growth and customers can seek alternate solutions or postpone the plans.
