The global automated plate readers market size is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to flexibility and adaptability of lab automation system.
Plate readers are also known as microplate readers or microplate photometers. Microplate readers are used for measuring chemical, biological, and physical reactions and properties. Types of microplate readers include absorbance detection, fluorescence detection, luminescence detection, and light scattering detection. Absorbance detection is used for plate readers for measuring protein & other activities and examine the sample. Fluorescence detection is used for detecting micro plate. It is more expensive than absorbance detection. The main advantage of fluorescence detection is to detect the sample with proper range as per the sample size. Luminescence detection is operated without a light source and they are used for reading the sample. With the help of a micro plate, light scattering detection is operated by passing the ray of light through the sample.
During COVID-19 pandemic, the medical supplies were affected due to supply chain disruption. However, increasing demand for personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses can fuel the growth of the market.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities
- Increasing demand for automated cell-based and biochemical in the biotechnology industry is projected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
- Rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.

Automated Plate Readers Market Segment Insights
Multimode microplate readers segment to hold a significant market share
Based on product types, the market is divided into dedicated microplate readers and multimode microplate readers. The dedicated microplate reader segment includes single-mode readers. The dedicated microplate readers segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years. However, the multimode microplate readers segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to wider range of detection technologies at a fraction of the cost of multiple dedicated instruments.
Genomics and proteomics research segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
On the basis of applications, the market is divided into drug discovery, genomics and proteomics research, clinical diagnostics, and others. The clinical diagnostics segment is expected to represent a major share of the market in the coming years. However, the genomics and proteomics research segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

North America is estimated to account a major market share
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to high level of merger and acquisition activities and many high-value deals. Moreover, increasing funding for the development of research and health care infrastructure is estimated to spur the segment growth. However, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to increasing outsourcing pharmaceutical manufacturing, due to the availability of cheaper resources and labors.
