Market Overview

A magnetic stirrer, also known as a magnetic mixer, is a laboratory instrument that stirs or mixes a liquid by spinning a tiny magnetic bar, also known as a stir bar or flea, submerged in it using a revolving magnetic field. The food and beverage, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries have a high demand for magnetic stirrers, which accounted for $350 million of the global market in 2021. The rise in R&D activity, particularly in life sciences, is driving demand for magnetic stirrers capable of managing a variety of vessel sizes and temperature ranges. In turn, manufacturers are innovating around easy to use models with digital controls driven by recent technological advancements proportional to efficiency and safety. The impending emergence of smart technology in the market is prepared to leverage the dialogue and experience of the end user to provide real time datasets. The size of magnetic stirring is being decreased for inclusion in diagnostic cartridges and lab on a chip, as accurate, non-contact mixing improves the sensitivity of an assay and increases the kinetics of a reaction. This has led to the trend of embedded magnetic actuation modules for diagnostics and point of care testing from OEM suppliers, to meet a demand to replace the need for chunky benchtop devices.

The Indian government offers a number of programs that, through funding, infrastructure upgrades, and shared facilities, indirectly assist the acquisition, sharing, and best use of lab equipment, including magnetic stirrers. For instance, the DST's FIST program awards funding to colleges and universities to enhance their research capacity and scientific infrastructure, which can include necessary lab equipment.
