Laboratory Glassware Washers Market: Increasing Demand for Freestanding Equipment as Consumer Convenience Remains the Goal

The benefits offered by laboratory glassware washers, such as superior quality of cleaning and convenience, have caused them to become indispensable in lab settings across a variety of applications, globally. The rapid growth of end-use industries, including healthcare, hospitals and diagnostics, and life science, has led to a spike in the demand for laboratory glassware washers in recent years. Within the laboratory glassware washers market, in 2018, freestanding washers dominated the landscape, holding a lion’s share of over half the total market value. This can be attributed to the convenience they offer over other types, particularly in sterilization and surgical departments. The segment is expected to expand the fastest of the three washers, to hit the ~US$ 200 Mn market by the end of the forecast period in 2027.

Undercounter laboratory glassware washers, which also accounted for a significant share of the market in 2018 of around one third of the total value, are expected to increase at a CAGR of ~3% over the forecast period. While this segment is anticipated to hold a marginally smaller share in 2027 over 2018, its increased use in smaller surgery centers and dental practices continues to propel its growth within the laboratory glassware washers market.

Manufacturers’ Focus on Efficiency & Convenience to Shape Further Evolution

There has been a premium placed on the convenience and efficiency offered by laboratory glassware washers over manual methods of sterilization, on the back of the demand from various end-use industries. Manufacturers in the global laboratory glassware washers market are increasingly focusing on these requirements, to enhance their product lines to improve their efficiency. An example of product enhancement in recent years includes: in April 2019, Miele, a player of significance in the global laboratory glassware washers market, expanded its existing product line by introducing freestanding washers that are narrower, with a smaller capacity. These are touted as being customizable to promote a safer loading process and improved cleaning of a variety of glassware.

In recent years, water conservation and lab efficiency have witnessed increasing interest within the laboratory sphere, with consumers pushing for resource-friendly methods and techniques to enhance efficiency, especially with the washing and sanitizing of equipment. This has resulted in manufacturers aiming at automating processes to streamline them to improve their operational efficiency. For instance, in December 2018, Labconco, a major player in the global landscape, launched The ScrubAir Pipette Washer/Dryer, which is said to consume 98% less water and 85% less time cleaning pipettes.
