Global Surge in Analytical and Life Science Tools to Push Market Beyond $100 Billion by 2029, New SDi Report Predicts

ARLINGTON, Va., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Strategic Directions International (SDi), part of Science and Medicine Group, has released the highly anticipated 2025 Global Assessment Report: The Analytical and Life Science Instrumentation Industry, the most comprehensive and data-driven overview of the global laboratory instrumentation market available.

The report projects the industry will exceed $100 billion in global sales by 2029, despite current economic challenges, including trade tensions, funding volatility, and market recalibration.

“Trade tensions, economic difficulties, and funding turbulence have resulted in market disruptions and, at least in the short-term, lower growth expectations across several important customer segments,” said Mike Tice, Senior Vice President at SDi. “Nevertheless, steady demand and innovation across segments offer some reasons for optimism—especially in areas like surface science and certain key life science technologies.”
