Laboratory Water Purifier Market: Overview

Laboratory water purifiers are water purification devices produced specifically to be used in a laboratory or diagnostic setting. These devices act as the main source of access to clean or pure water for several laboratory experiments, case studies, research, and development. Water is a crucial reagent in any form of lab including clinical, biological, food & beverage, environmental, and all the other laboratory forms. The final result of any research or study depends on the purity level of the water or any other ingredients used. Hence it becomes imperative that laboratories have a constant supply of water that is free of contaminants and impurities to ensure that the results are not compromised. However, tap water generally consists of some form of impure content such as heavy metals, bacteria & microorganisms, chlorine, sediments & particles, and viruses to name a few. Laboratory water purification systems eliminate the presence of these contaminants and help maintain research integrity.

Laboratory Water Purifier Market: Growth Drivers

Rising pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical research to drive market growth

The global laboratory water purifier market is projected to grow owing to the increasing rate of research in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors. Surging numbers of patients across the globe suffering from several mild to severe medical conditions and the growing need to ensure that every person has access to quality care are pushing drug and medical therapy developers to produce affordable and effective medicines. Research indicates that changing environmental conditions and rising pollution levels have resulted in an alarming increase in patients with life-threatening medical conditions including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, allergies, and infectious diseases that are air and waterborne.

In addition to this, several other conditions impact the quality of life and do not have any specific cure including diabetes, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and genetic disorders among many others. All of these factors have resulted in increased pressure on drug developers to develop novel medicines and therapies. Research laboratories are regarded as the main development center of pharma companies since these facilities are where the treatments are developed from scratch. All trials, studies, and final testing are conducted in research laboratories. For instance, in January 2023, Pfizer, a leading pharma company, announced that it was exploring more options to develop new drugs for cancer and certain diseases.

Increasing development of new-age water purifiers to deliver higher results

The global laboratory water purifier market growth is projected to be pushed further owing to the increasing launch of more advanced and intelligent laboratory water purifiers. In July 2021, Avidity Science announced the launch of a new range of laboratory water purification systems complementing its existing product portfolio. The i-Series is expected to meet the growing demand for types of laboratory water. The main differentiating factors for this series are the core functionality of the system revolving around integrity, intelligence, and information.

Laboratory Water Purifier Market: Restraints

Lack of standardization to restrict market growth

The laboratory water purifier industry may witness growth limitations owing to the lack of standardization in the sector. Since different types of water purification processes are used depending on regional guidelines and other environmental factors, there are no standard policies that determine which process is more effective. In addition to this, the material used for the purification process also changes depending on the service and product provider. This leads to confusion for the market players and subsequent loss of revenue.

Laboratory Water Purifier Market: Opportunities

Stricter guidelines on the safety of food and beverages to create growth opportunities

In recent times, regional governments and international healthcare bodies have laid out several strict policies and implementation methods to ensure food and beverages (F&B) safety. Players operating in the F&B are subject to stringent guidelines ensuring that the product being sold does not contain harmful products that can lead to serious health concerns in the future. As per reports, Belgium officially recalled over 400 food products. 8 out of 10 products were recalled due to the risk of microbial or chemical contamination. The policies are ensuring that food manufacturers maintain safety measures throughout the research and production process leading to a higher demand for laboratory water purifiers. In April 2021, SGS, a global inspection, testing, and certification firm, launched the Advanced Centre of Testing (ACT) in Chennai, India. The facility is equipped to conduct non-targeted and targeted detection of several contaminants along with conducting procedures such as DNA-based molecular processes and digital sensory analysis.

Laboratory Water Purifier Market: Challenges

High costs of initial investment and maintenance are primary challenges for the industry players

The laboratory water purifier industry growth trend could be subjected to certain growth challenges in the form of increasing costs of laboratory water purification system installation. The rising inflation rate and growing prices of raw materials impact the final cost of the device. In addition to this, lab water purifiers have to be maintained with zero room for negligence since if the device stops functioning, it can lead to severe resource, financial, and collateral damages.
