Market Overview

A lab on chip is a miniature device that combines one or more laboratory operations, such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, and detection, onto a single chip, usually limited to a few millimeters to a few square centimeters. Lab on chip tools are being embraced by the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and research industries for significant reasons that condense laboratory functionality onto a single chip. Lab on chip technology is preferable for disease diagnosis in real time, especially in rural or disadvantaged communities, as it is fast, low cost, and portable. The conventional laboratory setting requires time and costs for testing and receiving results, which lab on chip devices would greatly reduce because they enable the diagnostic tests to be performed outside traditional lab environments. Market growth is spurred on by the increasing trend towards personalized medicine. Lab on chip devices can perform complex tests and provide targeted and personalized therapeutic options based on individualized patient factors. As the demand for personalized therapeutics increase, the demand for lab on a chip technology to provide rapid and accurate diagnostic information is also increasing. In 2024, the U.S. National Science Foundation invested USD 14 million in seven interdisciplinary projects under the EFRI, Biocomputing through EnGINeering Organoid Intelligence program, which advance lab on chip technology.

Governments throughout the world are launching dedicated projects and funding to speed up lab on chip and associated diagnostic technologies.
