Laboratory accessories market seen topping $971.5B by 2030

The laboratory accessories market is projected to grow from $660.04 billion in 2025 to $713.28 billion in 2026, driven by rising diagnostic testing, lab automation and research spending. The Business Research Company says North America led in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region through 2030.

Why it matters: - Laboratory accessories sit behind core testing, research and diagnostic work, so demand in this category tracks broader spending on healthcare, biotech and lab infrastructure. - Faster growth in diagnostic testing and lab automation points to more demand for consumables, safety gear and workflow-support products across hospitals, research centers and commercial labs.

What happened: - The Business Research Company released a market study on laboratory accessories on Aug. 13, 2026. - The report estimates the market will rise from $660.04 billion in 2025 to $713.28 billion in 2026. - The company projects the market will reach $971.55 billion by 2030. - The report puts 2025 as the year North America led the market. - The report says Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.

The details: - The 2025-to-2026 forecast implies 8.1% annual growth. - The 2026-to-2030 forecast implies 8.0% annual growth. - Growth drivers include rapid expansion of clinical and diagnostic labs, more academic and research institutions, higher testing volumes and stronger laboratory safety standards. - Additional demand comes from growing scientific research investment, pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, and healthcare diagnostic testing. - The report identifies demand for laboratory automation products, durable consumables, safety and compliance accessories, standardized workflows, and ergonomic, space-saving lab furniture as key trends. - The study defines laboratory accessories as tools and equipment that support laboratory operations and help improve accuracy, efficiency and safety. - A UK government report cited in the release said England conducted 45.0 million imaging tests in March 2023, up from 44.0 million a year earlier, a 2.2% increase. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The company says its 2026 market reports include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, key technologies and future trend analysis, plus updated graphics and tables. - Free sample of the report - Full market report

Between the lines: - Rising diagnostic volumes and lab automation needs are pushing buyers toward accessories that reduce errors, save space and support compliance. - The regional split suggests mature markets still anchor demand, while emerging lab buildouts are likely to drive the next leg of growth. - The release leans on broad healthcare and research investment themes, which signals the market is being shaped by multiple end uses rather than a single buyer segment.

What's next: - The market is on track toward the $971.55 billion mark by 2030 if current growth rates hold. - Suppliers are likely to compete more on durability, standardization, ergonomics and compatibility with automated workflows. - Asia-Pacific's expansion could make regional lab infrastructure investment a bigger factor in future sales.
