by The global Electronic Lab Notebook Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 442.68 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) have largely replaced paper notebooks for recording research activities in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. ELNs help scientists document laboratory experiments and observations electronically with features like secure storage, controlled access and sharing, and integration with other lab systems and databases. This eases tracking, retrieval and collaboration around experimental data. ELNs also improve compliance with regulations and help accelerate drug discovery by allowing scientists to search past experimental results.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the electronic lab notebook market is the growing adoption among small and medium enterprises. Earlier, adoption of ELNs was largely limited to large biotech and pharma companies due to high costs. However, vendors are now offering more affordable and flexible pricing models targeted at SMBs. This is helping drive the uptake of ELNs among early-stage biotech startups and research organizations. Additionally, the rise of laboratory informatics solutions that integrate ELNs with other lab systems is positively impacting the market. Vendors are offering integrated platforms that combine ELNs with tools like laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and scientific data management systems (SDMS). This is supporting enhanced data retrieval, analysis and collaboration capabilities for research organizations. Integrated platforms tailored for specific industries like chemicals, food and beverage testing are also gaining popularity.
